'All homosexuals are paedophiles' - anti-gay pastor heading to SA

accreditation

American pastor, Steven Anderson, is heading to South Africa for a 'soul-winning marathon.' His trip has caused controversy in the country after 60 000 people signed a petition to have him banned from entering.

Minister of Home Affairs Malusi Gigaba has said that the pastor is allowed to enter the country for his sermon and coaching on going door-to-door to spread the word of the bible, but said if he misbehaves, he will be asked to leave.

The South African Human Rights Commission as well as activists from the LGBTI community raised concern after they learned about his visit, due to his strong views against gays. Watch him tell us why he thinks all homosexual people are paedophiles.
