On Wednesday, Briefly.co.za reported how Pastor Makhado has been luring his congregation using mystical powers. The “fake pastor” narrated how most of his fellow pastors use witchcraft to fill their churches. Makhado was speaking in an episode of Abafundisi.
Makhado joined the church business while in his third year of Bible study. It was not easy because he preached to empty sits in his church most of the time. So, he decided to seek supernatural powers to attract masses to his church, just like his fellow pastors. He shockingly narrated how he has been bathing in muthi to attain supernatural powers. For instance, someone could fall once he touched them, a common occurrence for many preachers.
Fans of the show were shocked by his confession. They took to different social media sites, especially Twitter, to express their disappointments and dissatisfaction with modern spiritual leaders. Some went ahead to link some church leaders to the narrative, such as Bishop Maponga.
