Paseka “Prophet Mboro” Motsoeneng was the centre of controversy last week when he was chased away from Bogkabo Poo's family home.

According to Bokgabo's heartbroken family, Motsoeneng tried to force Bokgabo's grieving mother into a conversation even though she said she was too overwhelmed to speak.

Motsoeneng then praised the family of the man accused of kidnapping and murdering Bokgabo, Ntokozo Zikhali, claiming they would tithe at his church a lot, TimesLIVE reported.

However, Mboro has a different account of events. Speaking to Drum, the "prophet" claimed her went to offer condolences to the family after members of his congregation informed him about the tragic murder involving a former church member.

Mboro maintains he was chased away by Bokgabo’s grandmother because she thought the accused was still part of his church.

Now Mboro unequivocally claims Zikhali was never a member of his church and that the accused only attended service with his parents after he was accused of rape. According to Mboro, Zihali's parents wanted the prophet to pray for the accused to ensure he was not jailed for his crimes.

The "prophet" maintained that he only performed his duty as a priest and had no association with Zikhali or his family.

Ntokozo Khulekani Zikhali violated his bail conditions when he went to Wattville, in Benoni, where Bokgabo went missing. The accused faces charges of kidnapping, rape, murder, defeating the ends of justice, and violation of a corpse.
