Pastor Of Zombie Cult Wants To Kill Defectors

observer - A Manzini pastor is alleged to have issued a hit list of former senior members of his church he accuses of having caused a mass exodus of followers by spreading unfounded allegations.Among these are men of the cloth who have been very popular as right hand-men of the pastor, especially during revival services and other fund-raising ventures.Our source, a pastor himself who claims divine powers of prophecy, however, says he has not formerly reported the matter to the police but to police officers who also attend the same church.Swaziland Conference of Churches President Stephen Masilela said it was discouraging to hear of such allegations because they were hard to prove.He added that to prove such allegations would require methods similar to those of the abolished customary umkhaya, a witch-hunt exercise banned by King Sobhuza II over half a century ago.The pastor who volunteered the information said he so much feared for his life that he would rather not divulge his name because he has survived an attempt on his life, that time he claims they tried to use witchcraft.Forming part of the hit list are the ring leaders, who are believed to be instrumental in the discouraging of worshippers from continuing attending that church.A week ago another popular pastor cried out for the safety of his life on television, claiming that certain pastors had hired a devil worshipper to eliminate him.He had brought along with him one of the devil worshippers. He also did not provide evidence of his allegations, but said he would release it at a later day.The hit list is said to have been prepared after the pastor (our source) together with other senior members were instrumental in convincing over 3 000 other worshippers to leave the church.How zombies extract cash from church membersAbout 300 zombies are being used to extract large sums of money from unsuspecting congregants. Our interviewee revealed incredible tales of Satanist practices and how the pastors of the same school acquire their powers that only easily identifiable in the 'spiritual realm'.He gave a graphic account on how the pastors go to greater Africa to work with witches in the acquisition of the said powers.He said they were using the small 'talking calabashes' known in siSwati as bogujana, which are given names of deceased church members.These small gadgets are supposed to carry the spirit of a dead church member, which is sent to perform a number of duties without worshippers suspecting anything.He alleged that similar gadgets may be used by some of the pastors to pretend to cast out demons from 'possessed' followers.He said, however, the spirit of the bogujana expires after sometime, that being when the actual time of death of that zombie had come. The pastor returns to the sources of bogujana for a refill.He said it was with these small witchcraft gadgets that the pastors were able to make huge sums of money within a short space of time and their followers do not suspect anything.It was also revealed that other businessmen from across the country were part of the conspiracy because they visited the same sources of financial power as the pastors."This does not, however, go on forever. After seven bogujana the sources of the power require blood and then killings begin. Some do not go past this stage and their empires begin to crumble."
