Immanuel HAIHAMBO, an evangelist of the South Angola Evangelical Church, was murdered by South African soldiers at the end of September, according to a report received by the Finnish Missionary Society in Helsinki. Haihambo was apparently preparing for Sunday worship at a church in Omwfifi near Kuamoto close to the Namibian border when South African soldiers arrived. According to the report, which was sent by a Finnish missionary working in the area, the South African soldiers put an explosive in Haihambo's bag and then accused him of stealing ammunition. He was forced to accompany them into the woods.
Local villagers, who reported a helicopter landing there at the same time, found the mutilated body of the evangelist the next day.
