"Snakes taste like chocolate!" – Daily Sun

"That's the power of our prophet, say followers!" – front page lead, July 15 2015

Daily Sun (July 15 2015) - FIRST he got people to take off their clothes and then he got them to eat hair and material.

But this time the prophet went a step further.

NOW HE HAS GOT HIS CONGREGATION EATING SNAKES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO TASTE LIKE CHOCOLATE.

On Sunday, people at the End of Times Disciples Ministries in Soshanguve, Tshwane were seen eating snakes.

“They taste like Chomps,” said one happy church member.

This was after Prophet Penuel Mnguni declared the snake had become a chocolate and given it to his congregation to eat.

Pictures posted on the Church’s website show the prophet holding the snakes for his followers to swallow.

Since he started his church earlier this year, people have been going to his church, listening to him preach and receiving his blessings.

On his website he declares: “We have the authority to change everything into anything. Everything will obey because of our authority and God’s powers.”. Mnguni claims he has delivered many people from evil spirits.

Speaking to Daily Sun, he said: “Even your neighbours will utter evil things about you when you do what God has told you to do. The world may criticise you. But God has the power to change the impossible to the possible. The miracles I do are the powers of God.”

In May, Daily Sun visited his church when he made churchgoers strip off their clothes, claiming he was raising the temperature so that the congregation would sweat.

Prophet Penuel said Jesus himself was criticised by the people on earth and that is exactly what people are doing to him on Facebook. “Does turning snakes into chocolate win souls?” asked Gaone Mchive. “Does it glorify God? Pastors need to stop glorifying themselves.”

Montana Afrikan Poet wrote: “This ain’t church. They are not even prophets. They are evil. God said we mustn’t use his name wrongfully.
