Paseka Motsoeneng, popularly known as Pastor Mboro, conducted his first church service since being released on bail, and South Africans couldn't help but laugh.
journalist Byron Pillay has spent a decade reporting on the South African political landscape, crime and social issues.Motsoeneng, popularly known as Pastor Mboro, was arrested on 5 August 2024 and spent 40 days in jail.
Pastor Mboro held his first church service since serving 40 days in jail, and Mzansi can't get over the Biblical parallels.

He has returned to leading his congregation and already held his first church service.
40 days is a prominent period in the Bible. During that period, Jesus was tempted by the devil in the desert, while Moses also spent 40 days and 40 nights on Mount Sinai, where he received the Ten Commandments. “Oh Lord, it just had to be 40 days😂🤦🏽♀️. He’s going to milk the hell out of this in his sermons.”@yayaafrica_ had the same train of thought:
“This 40-day thing will be like it was from God. He will say he was having time with God, fasting for his members, and they will believe him.”“Exodus 24...We did not know that Mboro is the modern-day Moses🫣.”“Sounds like a biblical thing. 40 days in the wilderness😭.”While the case has become a talking point in the media, his antics in the courtroom have also garnered attention.Byron Pillay is a Current Affairs Editor at Briefly News.
