WATCH: Bottles pop at Gabola tavern church
According to Bishop Tsietsi Makiti, his congregation consists of more than 500 members who are heavy drinkers and have been shunned by traditional churches because of their drinking habits.
The bishop claims to have been inspired by a scripture from the Bible to establish Gabola Church in the Vaal, Mpumalanga News reports.
In a video clip that trended on social media, Makiti is heard saying that drinkers are usually judged and called names by religious leaders in their churches. However, Gabola accepts them as they are blessing their alcoholic beverages.
