The pastor was arrested on Monday alongside five other church members, said brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo.
“The police started investigating these cases soon after receiving complaints from some of the congregants that the pastor and his accomplices allegedly assaulted them severely during church services if they failed to make tithe offerings. Others allegedly had to surrender their houses and cars and were told to stay within the church premises,” said Mojapelo.
