The Archbishop of South Africa’s Durban Archdiocese has cautioned against unofficial reports, “especially those distributed on social media”, on Fr. Bheki Monamoholo Motloung who has been missing since Pentecost Sunday, June 5.
In a Friday, July 1 statement, Archbishop Siegfried Mandla Jwara urges the faithful in the South African Archdiocese to refrain from believing and spreading "unfounded rumors" about the missing Catholic Priest on social media platforms.
Archbishop Jwara also calls on the people of God to continue praying for the 55-year-old Parish Priest of St. Yves Bergville.
"With respect to media statements or reports on this matter, especially those distributed on social media, I would like to make it known that the only official sources of information are statements issued from the Archdiocese of Durban, the Office of the Police Chaplain and/or the South African Police Service,” the South African Archbishop says.
He adds, "You will be informed through these official channels of any updates. Please do not engage in the spread of unfounded rumors from unofficial sources."
