Pastor Rabalago claims afflicted church members have been delivered after being sprayed with the insecticide. In photos circulating on social media, he was seen spraying the insecticide directly into the eyes and various body parts of his congregants.

South Africa’s Pastor who sprays Insecticide on ‘believers’ for healing to be jailed

A self-styled South African pastor who sprayed his followers with Doom insecticide and claims it heals all kinds of infirmities has been found guilty of assault, local media report.

Lethebo Rabalago – widely known as the Doom Pastor, always said when he spoke to Doom insecticide, it changes from insecticide to a supernatural healing substance, capable of healing cancer, HIV/AIDS and other diseases.

Local media reports the pastor sprayed his church members with the insecticide right into their faces.

He has been also found guilty of contravening the Agricultural Stock Remedies Act, a court ruling said.

Rabalago claims the insect repellent he used in 2016 could heal cancer and HIV.

A sentence is yet to be handed down after the verdict by Mookgopong Magistrates Court in Limpopo province.

On Friday, magistrate Frans Mahodi told the court the state had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt that the five people who laid assault charges were violated, South Africa’s national broadcaster SABC reports.

The magistrate said the fact that the complainants “were sprayed on their faces with Doom makes this offence [the] worst of its kind”.

He also revealed some of them had suffered “detrimental side effects… like coughing for more than seven months” after the incident.

Rabalago – who run the Mount Zion General Assembly – was arrested after it emerged he had used the product to “cure” his followers of various ailments in 2016.

At the time, he told the BBC’s Nomsa Maseko in Johannesburg he had sprayed the face of one woman because she had an eye infection and claimed the woman was “just fine because she believed in the power of God”.

Rabalago’s case had been delayed on a number of occasions, most recently when his lawyer forgot his glasses.

South Africa has seen a wave of incidents where church members have been subjected to unorthodox rituals which purportedly healed them of various ailments.

Nigerian Government trails Pastor who wanted Congregations to vote out Buhari

Pastor Isa Elbuba, the founder of EBOMI Ministries in Northern Nigeria is under the watch of the Federal Government after the video of his sermon, urging his congregation to empower themselves with the Permanent Voters Card (PVC) to vote out President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019, went viral

Pastor Elbuba alleged that Buhari was insensitive to the plights of Nigerians, both Christians and muslims, northerners and southerners.

Online news organisation, Premium Times, reported that the State Security Service, SSS, has moved against the pastor “after he asked church members to vote out President Muhammad Buhari for “failing” Nigerians”

“Attempts by the SSS to arrest Isa El-Buba, founder of EBOMI ministries on Monday night failed, following the quick intervention of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN officials, led by its north central chairman, Yakubu Pam.

The effort almost degenerated into a clash with between SSS operatives and local youth in Jos.

Mr. Pam told PREMIUM TIMES in a telephone interview on Tuesday that CAN had intervened and restored peace”.

Although the source did not link the attempted arrest with Elbuba’s preaching, independent sources said it was in relation to the sermon which went viral on the social media.

Premium Times also said a close source to the pastor said the SSS was after Mr. El-Buba following his comments on the recent killings in Benue state.

He accused President Buhari of incompetence.

In a video, Mr. El-Buba called on church members to obtain voters cards and vote out Mr. Buhari in 2019, blaming him for the Benue killings.

Mr. Pam said the director general of SSS in Abuja had mandated him to interact with Mr. El-Buba, and report back to him (SSS) boss.

More than 70 corpses of Benue farmers were buried in mass last week after they were slaughtered by Fulani herdsmen on the new year day.
