When members of the Evangelical Bible Church in Bonteheuwel in the Western Cape arrived for their morning service on Sunday, they were greeted by a vandalised and flooded church hall.
A member of the church, Yulene Geland, who with her husband opened a case at the Bishop Lavis police station, told TimesLIVE thieves stole electrical cabling, copper pipes and a gas stove.
“At 8.30am this morning, when we unlocked the church's gate, when we were on the premises walking in, we saw water coming from the doors. When we opened the gate, we discovered the whole church is flooded. I took my shoes off and I walked through the ankle-deep water. We discovered the whole church was vandalised. I walked through the gentlemen’s toilet and the urinary and hand basin were broken. The water was running from there.
Local ward councillor Angus McKenzie said after being informed, he immediately deployed the Bonteheuwel law enforcement team.“While justice is expected to take its course, it will in fact be God's judgment these evil cretins will struggle to escape from,” he said.
