Body of missing priest found

It is with great sadness that the Catholic Archdiocese of Durban confirmed that the body of missing priest, Father Bheki Joseph Motloung, has been found at the Bergville Dam on 2 July. Fr Bheki was parish priest at St Yves in Bergville, and was last seen on June 5.

“We thank God for having found his body and we believe that his soul now rests with Him in perfect peace,” said Father Elias Kwenzakufani Zondo, Vicar General.

Fr Zondi thanked all those who prayed for Motloung’s safe return.

“We ask that you continue praying for his soul to rest with God and for his family as they go through this difficult time,” he said.
