A minister of God in South Africa has blended contention after his congregation shared pictures on Facebook clearly demonstrating him and his congregants drinking rodent poison.
Pastor Light Monyeki of the Grace Living Hope Ministries needed his believers to drink the toxin as a show of the power of confidence in God.
He reasoned that if street children can smoke cigarettes made from the “Rattex” poison’s powder, popularly known as “nyaope,” there will be no harm if people of faith drank it.
Pastor Monyeki mixing the poison with water and offering it to congregants
Pastor Monyeki mixed the deadly poison with water and drank it first so as to assure his congregants of his faith. The congregants then rushed forward to drink it too.
It is unclear if they were harmed by the concoction or not, and attempts by news outlets to obtain comments from the church were unsuccessful.
Some South African churches have caused outrage by using bizarre ways of making congregants prove their faith.
