SA pastor ‘makes people drink engine cleaning fluid’

A self-styled prophet in South Africa – who makes his followers drink engine cleaning fluid – says it tastes like honey and has healing powers, the local eNCA news site reports.

Theo Bongani Maseko of the Breath of Christ Ministries said the chemical attacks viruses in a person’s body and detects demons, it reports.

The self-styled prophet is the latest in a string of men who have caused uproar by spraying people with pesticides and making them eat rodents.

Mr Maseko was quoted as saying that the fluid posed no health risks:

“It tastes like honey. I drank it twice.”

He added that five people had been “cured” by drinking the fluid:

They were all healed. They came with a testimony.”
