It would be best for america and Europeans to stop sending their missionaries in africa though. We already have african pastors
Thank You, Lord for Your grace and mercy 🙏🏼
Great coverage of exposing the serious crime in the country!!
Thank you, Lord. i will keep on praying
That's all short EC always got something to put the country down , leave these people alone they have a purpose in their lives … God bless the pastor and family ❤
What was he doing in a dangerous township🤔 Glad he was rescued safe.
America reaching right now with any South African related news 😂
Thugs
Praise God!!
Barbaric, we don't condone those type of things as South Africans. Bravo to our SAPS
Something sketchy about this whole thing
Josh seems like a nice person.
Not too bright, obviously, but he seems pleasant.
OH well, now he knows what type of jungle mentality he's dealing with.
Please investigate the killing of white farmers in South Africa. Two killed this week, and yet false news reports that is not happening.
So grateful he's safe with his family, now!❣
Now Trump needs to see this. He was rescued by south Africa black people. Now what does that say about south Africa. Are we racist now or saviors
