She says the proposed regulation of churches could criminalise pastors and lead to church closures, warning it may create restrictions similar to those in Rwanda and Angola.

Pastor Mukhuba, speaking at a large march currently underway in Durban organised by the South African Church Defenders (SACD), says the CRL Rights Commission, led by Thoko Mkhwanazi‑Xaluva, is pushing for measures that would regulate how churches operate.

She argues that such legislation could infringe on constitutional rights, including freedom of religion, worship, expression, and association, and said the commission is overstepping its mandate to protect these rights.

]]> Christian groups marched in Durban today, Thursday, where the South African Church Defenders handed a memorandum to KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thami Ntuli opposing proposed regulations affecting churches.

The group says the proposals linked to the Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities (CRL Rights Commission) could amount to state interference in religious affairs.

They are calling on government to protect constitutional rights to freedom of religion and ensure churches remain independent from state control.

The commission, chaired by Thoko Mkhwanazi-Xaluva, says its proposals aim to improve accountability in the religious sector.

South Africa’s CRL Rights Commission has launched a Section 22 Committee to create a code of conduct and charter for church leaders — but critics warn this could mark the beginning of state control over the church.

What the Section 22 Committee is really about

Why many fear it’s an attack on freedom of religion

The constitutional limits of the CRL’s powers

What pastors, bishops, and faith leaders need to know

Whether South Africa is entering an era of government-regulated faith

Is this about protecting congregants from abuse — or is it a move toward government control of the church?
