Our journey from a cult to freedom This is a love story and a life story. It is our journey from the captivity and deception of a cult to the freedom of true Christianity. It begins in Kwazulu/Natal in the late 1970s and ends on the cool west coast of South Africa. I have tried […]
It is a spectacular turnaround in the scandal surrounding the allegations of abuse against the KwaSizabantu Mission. Almost four years after the CRL Commission began so-called “investigations” into the incidents, these have proven to be superfluous: As it now turns out, the commission had no legal authority for such investigations at all.

The good news first: the CRL Commission’s documents have arrived! The bad news: they consist of five ring binders and four small office files, which are a wild mess in terms of organisation, form, and content. After looking through the material, it seems clear that no competent report on the serious abuses at the Kwa […]
The Gauteng Provincial High Court orders the release of documents relating to the KwaSizabantu case – but the CRL Commission disregards the order. Instead, it is pestering former victims of the mission with obscure offers to organise a reconciliation meeting with KwaSizabantu. A request is now to be made for an urgent procedure to ensure […]
