Shouters persecuted unjustly

THE EDITOR: When one reads the history of the Spiritual Baptists (Shouters) you can see clearly that the persecution that they faced was totally unjustified, similarly Mr Mandela suffered 27 years of unjust imprisonment in political persecutions.

The then colonial powers was of the mistaken belief that the shouters’ purpose was aimed at overthrowing the establishment. They made laws so draconian, the magistrate’s decision was final in all cases brought before the court. No appeals whatsoever.
