After nearly 600 days of waiting for a resurrection that never came, South African Pastor Siva Moodley was finally buried in a dignified manner at Westpark Cemetery in Johannesburg.
Moodley, who founded The Miracle Centre in the north of Johannesburg, passed away on August 15, 2021. His family and congregation, however, kept his body at a mortuary, believing he would be resurrected.
Legal Intervention
A funeral home in Gauteng was eventually forced to obtain a court order to have the controversial pastor’s body buried. Martin’s Funerals Fourways and Roodepoort approached the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg after Moodley’s immediate family failed to claim his body or provide consent for his burial or cremation.
According to court documents seen by News24, the funeral home made 28 attempts to contact Moodley’s wife and children for instructions but received no response. The funeral home explained to the family that they would face environmental health and hazard implications if the body was not disposed of.
The court papers further state that Moodley’s wife allegedly told the undertaker she had a vision that he could be resurrected.
