Controversial South African pastor, Penuel Mnguni,
of the End Time Disciples Ministries was beaten up
by some angry South African youths in
Mmakaunyane Village in the North Western part of
South Africa last week Sunday November 15th.
During the attack, the youths burnt down his church
and tied him and a member of his church up with
rope.
Penuel, who is known for engaging in strange
practices such as asking his congregation to eat
grass, strip naked and swallow live snakes, had
been lying low for sometime after a mob led by
South African vigilante group, the Economic
Freedom Fighters, burnt his church at Soshanguve
in Tshwane. He had tried setting up his church
again inside a bush in Mmakaunyane community
but was caught.
The tent of his church was burnt down by the angry
youths while he and some of his church members
were beaten and tied up. Police officers fortunately
came to their rescue.
Resident Johanna Baloyi said the pastor and his
congregation were not allowed in their area. “How
can a person eat a rat and claim it tastes like
chocolate? That’s evil!” A church member who was
protecting her pastor said they have the right to
attend any church they wanted. She said the rats
have healed and saved them from suffering.
