17 September 2014

The Economic Freedom Fighters sends its revolutionary condolences to the families and friends of 67 South Africans who have lost their lives after the collapse of a building at the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) in Nigeria.

This is indeed a sad and tragic development. These compatriots left the country to go and seek the face of God through prayer and only to meet their untimely death.

This tragedy must particularly weigh heavily on the shoulders of the Head of SCOAN, Prophet TB Joshua, who is a man with great heart, which has been demonstrated in all his humanitarian acts for the poor and the downtrodden. The EFF wishes him strength. The EFF also sends its revolutionary condolences to the other families from the rest of the world who have lost loved ones in this tragedy. Our hearts and prayers are with you.
