Pastor Who Makes People Eat Snakes Has Been Caught; Tied & Beaten, His Church Burnt

Controversial South African pastor, Penuel Mnguni, of the End Time Disciples Ministries was beaten up by some angry South African youths in the North Western part of South Africa on Sunday November 15th. During the attack, they tied him and his church member with ropes and burnt down his church.

Pastor Penuel, who is known for engaging in strange practices such as asking his congregation to eat grass, strip naked and eat 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 set up the church again inside a bush but was caught. See more photos:

A 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!” 

But 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. Police later rescued the pastor.
