his son said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Cyril Ramaphosa extended his \u201cdeep condolences\u201d, adding that Pastor Ray&#8217;s death &#8220;leaves our deeply spiritual nation bereft of a remarkable leader&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Rhema Bible Church has more than 45,000 members and is considered one of the most influential churches in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The South African National Christian Forum (SANCF) paid tribute to Mr McCauley, calling him a &#8220;an outstanding ecumenical leader&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;He will be remembered as one of the great Christian leaders in the country,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Africa&#8217;s former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela also shared a heartfelt message, saying he &#8220;stood resolute on matters of integrity in state affairs&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI will always remember him as a person who pioneered inclusive worship long before others did,&#8221; she said in a statement on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr McCauley played a key role in the late years of apartheid and spoke out against the racist apartheid regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ramaphosa described Rhema as one of the &#8220;largest multiracial churches during apartheid&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the Truth and Reconciliation talks, he confessed the shortcomings of white South Africans who &#8220;hid behind their so-called spirituality while closing their eyes to the dark events of the apartheid years&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img alt=\"Getty Images An image of Ray McCauley and President Cyril Ramaphosa in Johannesburg, South Africa - 30 July 2017 \" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/480\/cpsprodpb\/ea41\/live\/7875bc00-8642-11ef-8e28-37f9fea1fcf1.jpg.webp\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/480\/cpsprodpb\/ea41\/live\/7875bc00-8642-11ef-8e28-37f9fea1fcf1.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Getty Images An image of Ray McCauley and President Cyril Ramaphosa in Johannesburg, South Africa - 30 July 2017 \" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ray McCauley had close ties with politicians and South Africa&#8217;s elite &#8211;

\u00a32.9m), most of which came from tithes and offerings, according to South Africa&#8217;s\u00a0Business Day\u00a0paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10032615538 lazyload ewww_webp_lazy_load\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-15-58.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" data-eio-rwidth=\"800\" data-eio-rheight=\"449\" src-webp=\"https:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-15-58.jpg.webp\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/image-15-58.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10032615538\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was also heavily criticised for divorcing his first wife Lyndie in 2000, as there were no biblical grounds. This divided his congregation and many people left the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr McCauley married his second wife Zelda Ireland shortly afterwards, in 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before he became a spiritual leader, Mr McCauley was a bodybuilder and owned gyms. He took part in the Mr Universe competition in 1974 and came in the top three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although he stepped back from active church duties at Rhema in 2022, he preached a sermon at the church a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He is survived by his widow Zelda, son Joshua by his first wife, and three grandchildren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n                <p><strong>DISCLAIMER: <\/strong>The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.<\/p>      \n               \n <!-- Post Tags -->\n                \n\n                        \n\n    \n                                 \n                                             \n                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tributes are pouring in for the widely admired but controversial founder of the Rhema Bible Church South Africa, Ray McCauley, who has died aged 75. &#8220;Pastor Ray has gone to be with the Lord peacefully at his home, surrounded by his family and loved ones,&#8221; his son said in a statement.
