Theologian, lawyer and human rights activist Barney Pityana stands by his comments that Reverend June Dolley-Major’s campaign for justice after allegedly being raped by a pastor in the Anglican Church 18 years ago was “diabolical and satanic”. CapeTimesSA

At the weekend, Dolley-Major and a number of supporters hung panties outside Archbishop Thabo Makgoba’s home in protest at the church’s handling of her allegations.

He said the campaign was diabolical and satanic and the church should tell Dolley-Major to “go to hell”. "It is an abuse of the church and it is an abuse of the archbishop. She must declare what her true intentions and motives are. He said the church had made processes available for Dolley-Major to follow to get the matter resolved.’’The church cannot just take him by the scruff of the neck and throw him out. There are processes to be followed.”“I was expecting it, but I did not expect it from him. How can any victim trust their process?" she said.
