Mamelodi Baptist Church to remain closed in Level 3 due to ‘unacceptably high’ infection rate

Despite government giving the green light for religious gatherings, the leadership of Mamelodi Baptist Church in Tshwane has decided it will not be reopening from 1 June when the country moves to Level 3 of lockdown.

It added that it would continue with its social ministry of distributing food parcels, vouchers, and running feeding schemes. The SACC has since dismissed claims that it coerced government into allowing places of worship to open under Level 3, News24 reported.

Who actually demanded churches to open, the biggest church ZCC is not opening, MJC also encouraged mosques not to open and now this, this government. Or was it Kenneth Moshoe?
