“If any pastors are involved in some unwarranted behaviors in churches under the pretext that they are pastors we will deport them,”stated Masisi. Masisi was boastful where he told multitudes that he is one of the people who usually declare some foreign pastors as prohibited immigrants.
He further stated that the government is not going to stop deporting pastors who are involved in unwarranted behaviours.
Masisi further called on Catholic Church to play a role in the restoration of morality in the country. Masisi was of the view that there are incidents that show that Batswana are losing their moral values .
