Man claiming to be son of ZCC leader demands DNA test

Michael Serepo, who claims to be the biological son of ZCC leader His Grace Bishop Dr BE Lekganyane, is demanding a DNA test. Seropo is the leader of the Zion Creationist Church and is known as Barnabas Shego E Lekganyane.

Last month, the Zion Christian Church [ZCC] distanced itself from the claims made by Serepo and his Zion Creationist Church.

The ZCC obtained an interdict from the Pretoria High Court prohibiting Serepo and his followers from wearing the official ZCC uniform, using its symbols and artifacts, or making any claims that he is the son of His Grace, The Reverend, and Bishop Dr. B.E. Lekganyane.

But in a post on his official Facebook platform on Wednesday, Serepo demanded that the issue of his identity be determined by DNA tests.

“The matter of my identity must be proven by DNA, not some useless one-sided story,” he wrote. He also addressed the issue of using ZCC colours and symbols.

“Where are the exclusive rights to colour’s names and surname and the star emblem? So why don’t you stop the CCZ from the green and yellow uniform that looks exactly as yours and the Zion Christian Church in Zimbabwe from using the same name and star? He wrote.
