Pastor Mukhuba says Thoko Mkhwanazi-Xaluva should be removed as chairperson of the CRL Rights Commission, arguing she is not impartial and unfit to lead a Chapter 9 institution
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.
