South Africans Burn Down Church of Controversial 'Snake' Pastor (Photos)

  

The infamous End Times Disciples Ministries church was burnt down on Sunday morning, 9th of August by  members of the Julius Malema-led Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party and Soshanguve residents of Pretoria over the presiding pastor, Penuel Mnguni's recent controversial actions of feeding members with snakes, rats, and subjecting them to a lot of weird and awkward treatment.

 

According to South African media, the pastor was the major target as the group vowed to give him the same treatment he had subjected members of his congregation to, but he was away from the church on the fateful day while the church was led by unidentified second-in-command of the pastor took over the service, which had spilled onto the street, and commanded members to eat leaves.

Mnguni’s absence did not stop the EFF from wreaking havoc on the premises. They tore down the churches tent before setting it alight and forced the congregation to disperse.

 

An eyewitness said:

“Residents and members of EFF were enraged when a man on the podium continued with the services while they were inquiring about the whereabouts of the pastor,”

They then decided to burn down the tent where the church service is normally held and within minutes, the tent was ablaze.

The strange thing about the chaos was that the church members vowed to continue with their service despite the church being set on fire. They reportedly put up a fight which led to an exchange of blows with the residents of Pretoria. The event was well monitored by the South African police to keep it under control.
