This prompted Izang‚ the outspoken editor and founder of Christian magazine The Parable‚ to ask his Facebook followers: “Should Christians give to rich pastors?” The post was accompanied by pictures of the car and the penthouse.
Izang had in May been ordered by the Johannesburg High Court to stop publishing defamatory comments about Lukau‚ his wife‚ or his church. This was after the church took him to court for making comments about a pricey prayer meeting Lukau held last year for single women‚ promising to help them find a spouse. Tickets to the event cost up to R5‚000.
Johannesburg High Court judge Majake Mabesele found Izang in contempt of court for his latest comments about the Rolls Royce and the penthouse‚ and sentenced him to 20 days imprisonment‚ suspended for two years.
