ST LUCIA – A Pastor was arrested following a cleansing and baptism ceremony in St Lucia.
KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport and Human Settlements’ spokesperson, Ndabezinhle Sibiya, said the drama unfolded on road R618 in St. Lucia when a Road Traffic Inspectorate (RTI) stopped the “highly respected” pastor.
Things escalated very quickly when a heavy smell of alcohol came out of a window, hinting at the possibility that the Pastor had consumed alcohol.
As per the normal process, RTI administered a Breathalyzer test, which yielded a result of 0.360% Blood Alcohol Content.
“The pastor responded by citing a verse - John 1:9. ‘If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.’ The RTI arrested 33 motorists for drunk driving this weekend,” Sibiya said in a statement.
