Becker told the commission about the sentencing and punishment of boys, and about the racial disparity when it comes to hair policy, as black girls were required to shave their heads.
He gave evidence of physical abuse, citing a case in which someone was allegedly hit 70 times on the back.
“They have been hurting people – that is the problem with KwaSizabantu – they have not liked the Lord Jesus. They beat the children to make them obey, ”he said.
Becker told the commission of a case in which a co-worker was raped, but the matter was allegedly swept under the rug. She said that all she wanted from the commission was for those responsible for the alleged abuse and distortion of religion to be brought to justice.
“I want to start by saying that I love the people of KwaSizabantu very much, they are my life. Sometimes I ask God for leaders to say: Lord, if possible, I will go to hell so they can go to heaven, ”he said.
On Tuesday, the commission heard testimony from a woman who testified behind closed doors, as well as from an abuse victim who has since left the religion due to trauma.
Police and the National Prosecutor’s Office are expected to appear before the commission on Tuesday.
