Following the incident, President Ramaphosa believes the government needs to talk to churches and religious leaders to stop them from taking advantage of South Africans. He said the controversial behaviour of some pastors was bringing the name of the God and of churches into disrepute. The Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities proposed to regulate religious practices following the investigation into the errant behaviour of some churches. However, President Ramaphosa was wary of attempting to regulate churches as he believes that would infringe on the people’s freedom of religion. Pastor Lukau's Alleluia Ministries Church has released a statement denying that the pastor ever claimed to have raised the dead.
