Pastor Mboro’s Home Faces Auction Over R1.9 Million Debt
JOHANNESBURG – Pastor Paseka “Mboro” Motsoeneng is facing the possible auction of his Germiston home after allegedly defaulting on a R1.9 million home loan taken more than a decade ago.
A writ of execution issued by Absa Bank on 15 September 2025 was served to the sheriff’s office in Palm Ridge, authorizing the sale of the property if the arrears remain unpaid.
The property, situated east of Johannesburg, is reportedly R144 000 in arrears.
According to the writ, Motsoeneng was expected to pay monthly instalments of R19 000.
“He has not brought the payments due under the agreement up to date, and no payment plan has been agreed upon pursuant to the notice,” the document stated.
Motsoeneng, who leads the Incredible Happenings Church, said he was unaware of the auction notice when contacted for comment.
“All I can say is that I have missed a few payments before, but I did pay for the defaults. This is just an effort by people who want to discredit my name, but I am still making music and healing people,” he said.
He added, “I was supposed to be referred to their legal department first before they could even attempt to sell my house.”
Absa’s notice emphasized that the house is Motsoeneng’s primary residence and that the bank is unaware of any alternative accommodation.
It further stated that the full outstanding balance becomes immediately payable if any instalment is missed.
“Monthly instalments were to be paid regularly without deduction on demand, the full balance outstanding at any particular time would forthwith become due, owing and payable in the event that he fails to make any payment on the due date,” the notice read.
According to Celebgossip.co.za, Motsoeneng is also facing criminal charges in the Palm Ridge Magistrates’ Court.
The charges stem from an incident in August 2024, where he allegedly stormed a primary school with his son and bodyguard, armed with dangerous weapons, in a dispute over custody of his grandchildren.
The charge sheet lists multiple offences including kidnapping, possession of dangerous weapons, discharging and pointing a firearm, assault by threats, malicious damage to property, and possession of both an unlicensed and a prohibited firearm.
He was granted bail of R3 000 under conditions that he surrender his passport and refrain from threatening witnesses.
Absa declined to comment on the specific case, citing client confidentiality.
A spokesperson said, “We are not in a position to provide any commentary on this specific matter. Regarding our general approach, Absa makes every reasonable effort to assist its distressed customers in retaining their homes and makes use of an array of solutions to do so.
“Repossession and sale in execution of a customer’s property has always been our option of last resort.”
Motsoeneng’s legal and financial troubles continue to mount, adding to a string of public controversies.
If the auction proceeds, it could mark a significant turning point in the pastor’s long-standing struggle to retain ownership of his property amid growing pressure from creditors and the justice system.
