Red Ants swarm AFM church
The church will be reassembled to the state it was in before Wednesday sunset.
Congregation members of the Apostolic Faith Mission Church (AFM) in Grobler Park have been left without a place to worship.
This after project manager Gerhard Botha sent out an order to Red Ants Security and Eviction Services to demolish a makeshift structure “close to the river just below the big rock dump.”
For a specialised corporation of that calibre, it was appalling that Selby Dunn, director of the Red Ants, used information given by Botha without proper address and clear instructions.
Ronald Ngubeni, Red Ants security who was doing his daily patrol, gathered his troop and followed instructions bulldozing the AFM church on Corlett Drive and Randfontein Road.
“I was shouting and asking Ngubeni whether he was at the correct address as he continued to dismantle my property but he refused to stop.
“These guys have done damage close to R200 000 that the congregation and I accumulated from the little that we have,” said Pastor David Molo.
After church lawyer Gerard Culhane called Red Ants office to inform them about their blunder, the Red Ants were back at the property, humbled and set to reconstruct the house of God.
Man of God Molo refused as he was not satisfied with the condition of the material they had wrecked and
insisted that new material be used.
Speaking to Dunn, the church will be reassembled to the state it was in before Wednesday sunset.
Reconstruction of the church was completed this week.
