As internal battles continue to dog the ANC in the year of elective conferences, the partys secretary-general, Fikile Mbalula, held up the Bantu Church of Christ as a model of order praising its clear hierarchy and disciplined leadership, a structure he implied is not always mirrored within his own party.
At the weekend, Mbalula visited the home of Bantu Church of Christ leader Bishop John Bolana, who died at Greenacres Hospital on Tuesday last week after a short illness.
On Monday, the Eastern Cape provincial government announced that Bolana had been granted a special provincial funeral, category two.
