A prophet in Bottlebrush informal settlement in Durban, South
Africa has met his untimely death in the hands of irate community
members who burnt him to death for r*ping a 12 year old girl who had
gone to see him for prayers.
It was gathered that the prophet leads a sect of Zimbabwean origin called Johanne Masowe.
Trouble started when he asked the girl to come to his place of
residence for daily prayers. It is believed the girl would go to the
prayer sessions every day after school. On the fateful day, the girl is
said to have gone for prayers late at night after she had finished
school late.
The sobbing mother, also from Zimbabwe said, ‘I told her to go
and do her prayers with Madzibaba Jonathan like before and she did. Next
thing I know, I heard noises coming from that direction and people
screaming. I went out to investigate and noticed that someone was
burning because he was caught r*ping a minor’.
According to iMzansi news, neighbours say they heard screams coming
from inside the man’s zinc house and forcefully opened the door to find
a semi-n*ked man on top of the weeping girl. A mob soon came and
started beating up the man. Eventually someone came with an idea to burn
him and they did before the police arrived. By the time the police
arrived, the man was dead.
The girl was taken to a doctor at Chatsworth centre and confirmed
there was penetration. A police constable said people should not take
matters into their own hands and now they are hunting the perpetrators
to charge them with murder.
The girl was treated and released and will be attending
counselling. It was not clear what happened to the charred body of the
deceased.
