Irate Pretoria residents have threatened to prevent services from going ahead at Prophet Shepherd Bushiri's controversial Enlightened Christian Gathering Church.
On Friday the group had blockaded entry to the Pretoria showgrounds where the church is housed.
This comes after three women were killed in a stampede last Friday.
Link.A case of defeating the ends of justice has been opened against Prophet Shepherd Bushiri's Enlightened Christian Gathering Church following a stampede that claimed the lives of three women in Pretoria on Friday night, police say.
The case was opened at Pretoria West SAPS on Sunday, Police spokesperson Captain Augustinah Selepe said.
"The charge is added based on the fact that police have established that the deceased where [classified] dead at the church premises and the incident was not reported to the police," Selepe said.
She said the bodies were removed from the church premises and taken to a private mortuary called Red Ford Mortuary.
