South Africa’s notorious snake pastor Penuel Mnguni has fed cockroaches to two brothers in his congregation, alleging that the insects turned into cheese for the one and spices for the other.
The incident comes about five months after Pastor Mnguni appeared at a service hosted by popular Nigerian televangelist TB Joshua, and confessed, according to Mr. Joshua, “feeding snakes to the people is not biblicalâ€.
Mr. Mnguni’s church put up a Facebook post about the cockroach-eating incident earlier this month, saying that the self-styled pastor “called a cockroach to appear in the churchâ€.
“He then called out the congregation to come forward and eat…. Two brothers came and shared it with each other, As they were eating it, to the surprise of Mr. Charles, it tasted like a cheese that is not ordinary and to Mr. Eric, it tasted like spice,†the post said.
“The man of God declared that as they ate their level of teaching will grow and it will never be the same. As he spoke this words the power of God touched them both as they partook what is from the father,†it added.
The church also reported in another post that the pastor prayed on a poisonous flower, and a worshipper ate it and “enjoyed it to the extent that he asked to eat the whole flower alone and finished itâ€.
“The Prophet of God declared that whatever he came for, God has granted him,†the post said.
The self-styled prophet first caused controversy in South Africa in 2015 after being accused of making people eat snakes, rats, and hair.
Charges against Mr. Mnguni, laid by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, were provisionally withdrawn in July 2015 because of a lack of evidence.
