DAGGA SUSPECT PASTOR SHOT IN POLICE CAR CHASE

MBABANE – A movie like scene played itself out in the Shiselweni region as a chase between the police and a pastor ended in the man of God being shot.

The Word of Hope Ministries Pastor, Njabulo Madonsela, was shot by the police on Saturday evening after it was suspected that he was ferrying dagga.

Pastor Madonsela was shot in the thigh at around 6:20pm while at Mfishane after he was stopped by five police officers in two different cars. Madonsela, who is still admitted to hospital, said he was driving towards Nhlangano, on his way home from his parental homestead at Hlatikhulu when he was stopped by a police vehicle.

The pastor said three plain- clothes officers tried to block him at a bridge as they got out of the police van, armed with guns.
Seeing that they were not in uniform, the man of the cloth said he drove away in fear because he was not sure if they were real police officers.

According to the pastor, he was first stopped at a deserted place where there were no people who could help him if he needed assistance.
“When I drove on, another police vehicle stopped in front of my BMW and two officers, who were in uniform, came out of the car. I also jumped out of my car and raised my hands to show that I was surrendering but they shot me in the leg at close range of less than five metres away. I know the officer who shot me and he was in the company of a female colleague.

“The other police vehicle which had stopped me the first time then caught up and my vehicle was searched extensively but the officers did not find anything.
