African Female Pastor gets backlash from Social Media for wearing sexy outfit to Preach
AMAZING GRACE: Pastor gets backlash for “sexy” outfit
All her life, men have been telling Pastor Fikile Buthelezi what she can and can’t wear to church.
But when one dishes out criticism on social media for wearing outfits that are deemed too “sexy”, the young pastor from Tsakani in Ekurhuleni couldn’t care less.
“
Men will be horny and lustful even with women covered head to toe in a bag of potatoes that are socially deemed unattractive,” Buthelezi told Reports.
She says she doesn’t need any validation about how she dresses – especially from men.
On Sunday, the 27-year-old leader of Kingdom Life Prophetic Assembly, which is located in Duduza, posted pictures of herself preaching on the Church’s Facebook page.
Within minutes of posting the photos, she received backlash, mostly from men, about her outfit.
She was wearing a glamorous and smart sparkling silver dress with heels to match.
One man went out of his way to comment, “to dress like this is completely wrong to a higher degree.”
He continued: “It is misleading and seductive. The reason why Apostle Paul said women should not teach is this, their dressing.”
Buthelezi said it is sad that there are still men out there, especially in the church who are threatened by a female leader.
“Patriarchy is still deeply rooted in our churches, I face it daily but it will not deter me from spreading the gospel.
“Men still want to tell women how to dress and behave in the churches, whatever we do outside their standards we are labelled unholy,” she explained.
She explained that when she opened her church three years ago she knew it was not going to be easy.
“I knew there were going to be people who would try standing in my way and shaming my bar but I was ready to deal with the punches,” she added.
Buthelezi said that it is easy to drown out the negative comments she receives daily when she has three churches to lead.
