Chris Oyakhilome Facing Trouble In South Africa Over Money He Makes There by africwap01(m): 8:49am On Nov 26, 2015

Chris Oyakhilome is facing trouble in South Africa after refusing to comply with government orders to release his financial records. According to a report in News 24, several prominent church leaders have not adhered to the demands of the South African Commission for the Promotion and Protection of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities.

The Commission, led by Thoko Mkhwanazi-Xaluva is investigating the commercialisation of religion and the abuse of people’s beliefs within South Africa, where Christ Embassy has several branches.

“These people take money from people. What are they doing with that money? We want to know. We will not back down,” she said.

All those summoned to the hearings are required to produce their ordination certificate, the church registration certificate, bank statements and the annual financial statements dating from 2012.

“Some of these religious leaders will face prison if they do not comply and we have been clear about our course of action,” she insisted.

Mkhwanazi-Xaluva singled out Oyakhilome, stating that he insisted he would fight the commission in court before releasing his records.

“If he intends on that route, we are ready. He will have to face the same fate as the others who refuse to hand over their financial records,” she said.

In contrast, a source who attended the hearing of South African Bishop Stephen Zondo, stated that Mkhwanazi-Xaluva cited an equally controversial Nigerian megachurch leader, T.B. Joshua, as an example of one who openly used his finances to assist the less-privileged, something she expected of all clergy.

Shameless gossip
Rev Chris is 100 times human than the charlatan who offered 116 strong human sacrifice on his church premise

This is a good one. We blame our leaders for embezzlement and mismanagement while some con men are busy doing same in the name of god without questioning.

Nigeria where same thrives can't regulation and watchdog the extortion going en mass. This is showing that our government in Nigeria don't place our interest as their upmost priority


Huge raw cash rolling off the shelf in the church. A conglomerate and international multi billion dollar industry.
