A 40-year-old pastor is in hospital after he was shot at his church in Edenvale, east of Johannesburg, Sunday morning.

The church is believed to be one that serves the local Nigerain community.

The police’s Jean Ocklers says more information regarding the circumstances surrounding the crime and the motive for the shooting will be made available as the investigation progresses.

It is alleged three suspects entered a church and shot the pastor.

Ocklers says: “We don’t know if the suspects’ intention were to commit a business robbery. We’ve opened a case of attempted murder, but we do urge anybody with information about this case to come forward.”
