When the Nkandla cock crowed on the men of God
Once upon a time, Jacob Zuma, the globally renowned shepherd of the ANC’s “broad church”, found himself at the pulpit of a new congregation – the All African Alliance Movement.
Together, they formed what many thought was a holy alliance with the MKP, a marriage of prayer and politics aimed at shaking up the 2024 elections.
But, as the bishops ironed their -finest suits for a triumphant entrance into parliament, their dreams were dashed quicker than you could say “amen”. Bishops Meshack Tebe and Sophonia Tsekedi were allegedly sent packing not with a ceremonial farewell but with WhatsApp expulsion letters! Yes, you read that right, holy men treated like side chicks – with a break-up text.
The clergy now accuse Msholozi of pulling a “Peter”– denying them not once, not twice, but three times before the parly cock had a chance to crow.
