Controversial pastor Paseka “Mboro” Motsoeneng has been in the spotlight after his church was burnt to the ground on Tuesday. 

The Incredible Happenings Church was engulfed in flames after scores of children bunked school and community members went to the church to protest against Motsoeneng. 

This after the pastor allegedly forcefully entered Matshidiso Primary School in Katlehong and threatened teachers while armed with a panga the day before.

According to preliminary reports from government departments, Motsoeneng’s threats at the school concerned a custody battle involving his son's children.

Videos of him at the school went viral, sparking outrage from the community. By the time emergency services arrived at the scene of his church, a marquee tent, there was nothing left to save.
