“Jesus Told Me”: Pastor Enigma’s Take on the Vaal Accident Sparks Outrage

• Pastor Enigma sparked backlash after claiming that the tragic Vaal accident should be blamed on Satan rather than drivers, even in cases involving alcohol or negligence
• He argued that evil spirits influence people’s actions and that accountability ends once the act is done, comparing it to criminals being granted bail after wrongdoing
• His comments reignited public frustration around reckless driving, road deaths and the danger of shifting responsibility away from individuals

A viral video featuring Pastor Enigma struck a raw nerve across Mzansi, reopening heated debates about faith, accountability and where spiritual belief should stop when real lives are lost.

A video posted by @mzansi.clip.farmi on 4 February 2026 showed Pastor Enigma, also known as Brother Enigma, weighing in on the tragic Vaal accident. In the clip, the self-proclaimed prophet claimed that Jesus told him accidents of this magnitude should not be blamed on drivers, but rather on Satan, even if alcohol or negligence is involved.

Pastor Enigma argued that evil spirits influence people’s actions and that accountability should shift away from individuals once the act is done. He compared this to criminals seeking bail, suggesting the spirit responsible leaves once the act is committed. His comments added to a long list of controversial statements that have made him a viral figure across South African social media.

Faith, accountability and public backlash

Many South Africans are already frustrated with reckless driving, road fatalities, and a lack of accountability. Bringing spirituality into a national tragedy sparked debate about where faith should end, and responsibility should begin, especially when lives are lost.

Mzansi largely responded with concern and criticism to user @mzansi.clip.farmi’s video, questioning how such views affect justice, healing, and closure for grieving families. Others warned that spiritual explanations should never override legal responsibility, especially in cases involving public safety.
