For those of you who are still trying to make sense of what happened at Lakeland, here is the official statement from the people at God TV.
What is your take on all of this?
This will be my last post for a few days as I am on leave, going to JHB and just wanting to relax! So see you all soon!
Responding to questions around his resignation as Minister of Defence, Mr. Mosiuoa Lekota, had some wise words to share:
“Once the NEC endorses that judgement we are disqualified from sitting in any legislature or Parliament and representing people. If you are implicated like this, in something that is a crime, there is no way we can sit in the House in good faith when we have broken our oath of office.”
He said the NEC should have recalled “all of us”, adding: “There is no way in which the NEC could do that and not accept the consequences.”
“I don’t need Thabo Mbeki to think for me. I don’t need Jacob Zuma to think for me. How can I look people in the face [after this judgement and decision by the NEC]? This affects our families and the communities we live in. I can’t represent an organisation that has taken the decision that I broke my oath of office.”
Clearly he knows what a weighty issue this is that we are dealing with, if only the leaders of the ANC had the same integrity. Find the whole article here.
“we will crush anyone who tries to prevent Jacob Zuma from becoming the next president”
These are the words of the ANC Youth League.
What do we make of all this?
As you all know by now, well those of you who are interested in this sort of stuff, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was successfully started up today for the first time!
For those who don’t know, it’s the world largest particle accelerator: 27km circumference , 100 meters under the ground between the border of France and Switzerland. It would take you about 6 hours to walk around the whole tunnel. That’s BIG! In fact, undoubtedly the biggest science experiment ever!
I hate to sound judgemental, so I will say off the bat that I am sorry about what has happened with Todd and his ministry.
I must be honest, I had some bad feelings about what was happening at Lakeland soon after it started. Admittedly, I am not keen on these sorts of healing revivals, where the focus seems to be more on physical healing that spiritual renewal. But I withheld judgement throughout the whole time the meetings in Lakeland where taking place simply becuase I have not been there myself.
But sadly it seems that the wheels have really come off for Todd.

I think the church should really pray for this man and his family and we should let this serve as a lesson to us, never to put so much attention onto an individual. How many times must this sort of thing happen before we learn?
