South African church attack: Five dead after 'hostage situation'
•
• Police released images of suspects lying on the ground
• Five people have been killed after attackers stormed a South African church, reportedly amid an argument over its leadership.
• South African police said they had rescued men, women and children from a "hostage situation" on the outskirts of Johannesburg on Saturday morning.
• They have also arrested at least 40 people, and seized dozens of weapons.
• Eyewitnesses say the men who stormed the International Pentecostal Holiness Church were part of a splinter group.
• The church's leadership has reportedly been the subject of infighting since its former leader died in 2016. Police had previously been called to the church following a shoot out between members in 2018, South Africa's IOL reports.
• The year before, the church's finances had come under the spotlight, amid allegations some 110m rand ($6.5m; £5.2m) had gone missing, according to The Sowetan newspaper.
• On Saturday, police were called to the church in Zuurbekom in the West Rand at 03:00 local time (01:00 GMT).
A number of weapons have been recovered by police
According to national police spokesperson Brigadier Vish Naidoo, a group of attackers indicated to those inside "that they were coming to take over the premises".
He said four people had been found shot and burnt to death in cars, while a security guard, who was thought to have been responding to the incident, was also fatally shot.
Five rifles, 16 shotguns and 13 pistols, along with other weapons, were found at the church, which police have been combing for evidence.
The South African Police Service (SAPS) said that among those arrested were members of SAPS, the South African National Defence Force, the Johannesburg Metro Police Department and the Department of Correctional Services.
The International Pentecostal Holiness Church is thought to have about three million members in Southern Africa.
Congregants fearful of another attack
While the International Pentecostal Holiness Church, one of the largest churches in that region, has made tabloid headlines over missing money and its leadership squabbles in the last few years, what happened on Saturday took many by surprise - including authorities.
Now police say they have launched a high-level investigation looking into the exact circumstances around the shooting - not least, who ordered the attack.
Part of the investigation is trying to ascertain whether the four people who were killed and burnt inside a car were part of the group who had earlier stormed into the church.
"We've arrested all those we reasonably believed are suspects. They have been taking in for questioning," said police spokesperson Vish Naidoo.
As night falls, police officers have been deployed to monitor the safety of hundreds of congregants living on the church premises who are said to be fearful of another attack.

- A polícia liberou as imagens dos suspeitos deitados no chão.
- Cinco pessoas foram mortas depois que vândalos atacaram uma igreja na África do Sul, supostamente enquanto se discutia a respeito da liderança.
- A polícia local afirmou que homens, mulheres e crianças foram mantidos reféns nas proximidades de Joanesburgo, no sábado de manhã.
- Foram presas aproximadamente quarenta pessoas e ainda foram apreendidas dezenas de armas.
- Testemunhas relatam que os homens que invadiram a Igreja Internacional Pentecostal Holiness faziam parte de um grupo dissidente.
- A liderança da igreja supostamente tem sido alvo de constantes desentendimento desde que o ex-líder morreu em 2016. A polícia havia sido acionada anteriormente por conta de um tiroteio entre os membros da igreja em 2018, segundo relatos dos jornais da África do Sul.
- No ano passado, as finanças da igreja tinham estavam sob suspeitas sob alegações que cerca de cento e dez milhões de rands (seis milhões e meio de dólares) havia desaparecido, segundo o Jornal Sowetan.
- No sábado, a polícia foi chamada à igreja em Zuurbekom, no West Rand, às três horas, horário local (01:00 GMT).
Algumas armas foram recuperadas pela polícia.
De acordo com o porta-voz da polícia nacional, brigadeiro Vish Naidoo, o grupo responsável pelo ataque, afirmou aos que estavam no templo que tinham vindo para reivindicar o espaço.
Ele afirmou que quatro pessoas foram atingidas pelos tiros e foram queimadas vivas dentro dos carros, enquanto um dos seguranças também foi atingido e morto pelos tiros.
Cinco rifles, dezesseis espingardas e treze pistolas, além de outras armas, foram encontradas na igreja, quando a polícia procurava por evidências.
A Polícia Sul Africana disse que entre os presos havia membros da Força da Defesa Nacional da África do Sul, do Departamento de Polícia Metropolitana de Joanesburgo e do Departamento de Serviços Correcionais.
Estima-se que a Igreja Internacional Pentecostal Holiness tenha cerca de três milhões de membros na África do Sul.
Congregados temem outro ataque.
A igreja pentecostal, onde aconteceu o ataque e que é uma das maiores da região, foi manchete nos jornais a respeito do dinheiro desaparecido e de sua liderança briguenta nos últimos anos, cujo fato ocorrido no sábado tomou de surpresa a muitos, inclusive as autoridades.
A partir de então, a polícia esquematizou um alto nível de investigação, a fim de descobrir as verdadeiras razões sobre o tiroteio – sem desconsiderar quem ordenou o ataque.
Uma parte da investigação está tentando investigar se as quatro pessoas que foram mortas faziam parte do grupo que invadiu a igreja.
“Prendemos todos aqueles que são suspeitos. Os tais têm sido submetidos a questionamentos”, afirmou ainda o porta-voz da polícia, Vish Naidoo.
Mais tarde, policiais foram mobilizados para monitorar a segurança de centenas de congregantes que vivem nas dependências da igreja e que temem outro ataque.
