| Joshua and his collapsed church |
The African National Congress Youth League has
called on the Jacob Zuma-led South African government not to issue a visa to
the General Overseer of the Synagogue of All Nations, Pastor Temitope Joshua.
Joshua had expressed on Sunday his desire to
visit South Africa to commiserate with the families of 84 citizens of the
country who lost their lives when a building of the church collapsed in Lagos
on September 12.
About 115 people died in the tragedy and Joshua
had described those who lost their lives as martyrs to the consternation of
South Africans.
But reacting to Joshua’s desire to visit South
Africa, the spokesperson for the ANC Youth League, Bandile Masuku, said, “TB
Joshua should not be allowed to come to South Africa until we know what
happened to our fellow countrymen at his church.
