It is claimed that Seoka used R500000 of the Pretoria diocese's money to pay for his bond. He is also accused of misappropriating R162 000 to fund legal representation against a church dean

Tebogo, your source gave you false information. I hope journalists could start by finding facts before they try and sell their papers.

For your information, the reasons put in this publications are lies, but you had to sell your paper, and we cant penalise you for that.

@Thesh that is your opinion and you are entitled to it, what makes you think the information provided by the sources were unfounded?

Yes, if the facts are baseless where is your version of correct information? St Albans parishioners have been waiting for the so-called truth from Bishop Jo Seoka and to date nothing has come forth.

Its a free country you are also more than welcome to help AVUSA sell the paper with your version of the facts.

1 Corinthians 6
New King James Version (NKJV)

Do Not Sue the Brethren
6 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 4 If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge?

Archbishop

We are praying for Jo consider retiring! He has really overstayed his welcome in the church. He is making headlines in the media fairly recently for wrong unethical reasons, whats more, he is misrepresenting the Anglican Church and crippling the image of the SACC, which are both institution that are known for standing against evils and injustices caused by cruel and autocratic leadership in every aspects of God's people. What pains me is that he does see wrong in himself but quick to state that his faithfuls are 'liars' and accuses them of 'discrediting' his leadership. Those are his favorite words he always utters in his defense, and Thesh, u sound like him and I cant bet that u are him! Anyway,The diocese is now divided, let alone the cathedral parish. The DCS is used as an instrument to hide his immoral behavior. I think that the best favour Jo can do for himself is to retire! Bless you All!
