...million members. The following year Boesak helped establish the United Democratic Front to protest the government's plans for a new constitution. An emotional orator, Boesak has called on Christians to pray for the downfall of a government that he says is run by "the spiritual children of Hitler." Boesak, a married man, was harassed by allegations, reportedly planted by security police, that he was having an affair with a white woman. His church cleared him of the charges.
