yep. very prevalent story. elections web protest claim to know out. com, gullible for the west. also. consequently, get you with some preachers location are they prosecute, say when you have victims reports to the police with freedom of worship and try and, and guidance goes through the same. these are remain a sensitive long list of fame of clamping down our religious right. the 1st preference no does not use people's respect for religion. about 20 yards it go. it's called to the convinced as follows that he was taking them to heaven. one evening he reported to get them in a church, a bunch of him. about 700 people died. did they come to my 2nd today was to have this sort court meant of god's claiming supernatural powers from predicting for to vote on election results to claiming to cure diseases. like cons,

there's tell evangelist allegedly paying people to pretend that they've been healed . this past was asking people to send the money at every opportunity and or recent tragedy spots an outcry as follows. of a pastor, attendance coast, stuff himself to death in the hope of redemption, kenya has in the past taken steps to regulate some of the churches, but nobody really wants to meddle with were that just freedom. but when tragedy strikes, it's a wake up call. and most churches don't want this happening and they want sadie, it's really happening all across the continent. have you heard about such feet past the incidents in your area? so i started with us and we're now in tay talk. the name about channel is dw underscore the 77 percent. so hey, feel free and connect with us on that thoughtful fall. let's get back to the issue of faith passed as committed crimes occasion. can you sense chills down the spines

of many? let's find out more on the flip side, when you are at the low points in your life, any form of head can be very interested in kenya, for instance, a goes to the preacher reports in the to it is pull us to fast on to meet jesus is victims stuff today, and that starts to quote, for $32.00 preachers come on cost africa and then lucky claims i live in catastrophic consequences behind. so is it time to stump that welcome to the flip side, because in kenya, it's not an isolated one. this preacher truth is going to be gods around us cuz people to eat grass racks. and this one gives fully show us the liquid we met, at least is just endless. but what's all it is, bridges haven't come on, is that the place have an was in the appreciate some people capitalize or one

text or creature it. they use the money to late people and they used to explain to people's emotions into exploits people's needs. some of these creatures shy away from this claim, the extreme was wide difficult condition language in abject poverty. in some cases they would use the elite is in an extreme is in so that they needed a seem to have direct contact god. and therefore, whatever the safeguards and therefore whatever they say courthouses and then people just do whatever these toner funded fixed. you need to know the differences between the gospel according to jesus christ and this new so called from there it goes to help people say because of all of your needs, come to jesus, give me all your money and then you get health and work ethic stream gets a 2nd hold on because of all the because all the partners that kind of be sold, well, best of ourselves from that. so it's clear that 1st started to pigeon is quote,

is what the main question is. a soul plus birds bridge and we stop and those, you know, gospel of custody and for the best initial that be the charge party that understands . don't treat another way to prevent this from happening is not clear to speak so back to possibly independent religious bodies could spoke to them in range of from the less government. i'm really just bodies. oh, it's the wash best to protect them from this prospect to purchase. that has been the website. things blew out for that. one thing is for sure. that should be a way to protect vulnerable people. prosperity preachers are quite coming across the continent. back into that africa, we look at how some past is a finding sneaky ways of an origin themselves. the name of

that that'd be on a sunday morning in the old coast of pretoria members of jesus nation, touch god, the to prepare for their weekly songs. many of them praying to one prophet ship that we should be waves of fiction. please refer to as mid to one. what's your claim? see, come to a heads a vi and even make people wealthy. however, such miracles come at a cost concrete guns, bring them cush, cellphones and other valuables, hoping for the profiting provincial deadlines. the that'd be the remote from industry of the properties. no, we have to be phone except smiley from

a pasta machine is on the run. wanted full fraud and money laundering, the people give the cause. patients and education funds and lost everything. it went to 19, the profit was arrested out one day, however, he money to feed the country. meanwhile, he's touched, remains active in south africa, written by trusted left nuns. as here in pretoria, the the congregation moved inside. well bond is warming up, the believe us. there are also allegations that will she use discharge to groom young women for sexual relationships and fretting those who dare to speak count to day pasta, my boot, and one of which is beautiful. sounds mix up prophecy for

a young woman desperately trying to find a job. the . busy the after the profit to be charged members took out the envelopes with money which they hung over to the pasta. we're not allowed to feeling that despite the allegations of food on sexual assault against their touch,

lead to many congregants to sleep, defend him. the great middle part of my life. just as soon as my life my real human rights, i presume they have the own my life. so whatever the dog, you know, if the world doesn't forgive him, hey, good. the good. so little nations believes that a comfortability must come before forgiveness the jobs, but best joiners to regularly expose it's really just comments like will show you on tv on these blog. uncle solomon has become one of the most vocal put in. so for me, just tell of tons in south africa, this is about the church. this is about our trust that these,

that are happening by the church for me to advise a few people called preference, dividend nonprofits that full prophets because they keep taking a bunch of people, they abuse women. we take money from people that smart intelligence and very good sales people. they can sell anything to you. you just need to package yourself very well put in on time a suit to have a way that you can speak with a tal routine. get a place the social media long, some, some cars and all that. speak the right deceitful language. but the problem is big . on the problem is not limited to south africa. washrooms or receive calls for help from across the continent. recently received a message from a young woman in levels what last thousands of funerals to a prophet test named your message, you must see thanks to items encouragement. the young woman went to the police and opened the case against you. massey was not wanted by the authorities

today i shall just following up on the case the 3 d. c. police because i see since he's been arrested. what are the police say, you know, because she has a court case and hopefully some sort of just gonna come the new place i moved to i was to disclose my address, wasn't there might be some people watching me or something like that. yes. so even though you must see is now in police, custody of victims needs to be creased. false prophets like cough, often operates as a part of a criminal syndicates with henchmen whose job is to intimidate and spread fear.

washrooms knows that from a personal experience, some of these people came to my house in the night 3 times and attracting my wife. cost about them to do with it for coming to kill you, what the children and the sad part of it is. no one is doing much body. we have say we kind of nice way to live site state. time to play nice. it's time for us to set this up is that's right. we all have a road to play in stopping feet past this for me using and abusing people. people like to come in financing from move. well, we had at the end of the report having trying to draw attention to the problem. but there is constant of position so low in 2017 for quite us each of the former comfortable rights and language commission. i investigated

out criminal organizations. what operating food touches she interviewed? hundreds of touch leaders and victims under commended ways to establish profile of a site report was ignored by political leaders and ultimately hosted in quantization leuva her job. the deputy president said she is staring up too much trouble. yes, a, it's a, it's a so static problem is this a sad problem, but it's unfair putting it to kind of problem because to find that when it's time for elections, for instance, sets in political patches go to this searches looking for, for you kind of step fix a system is a nice the closest to forgetting folks said. so which is what it is. at some point i realized, okay, leave them being,

they put it. this is getting the band the oh is this votes for white book a preferred shift blue shield is jesus mission. charging pretoria, putnam a boom. the walks through the wrongs to pray for each member individually up to 6 hours of service. hungry guns are in this type of trends. the

when confronted with crimes of his profit, custom of wound as a simple explanation. major was always refer people to the bible because the same. the same challenges that we encounter today is 7th and part of the exact same challenges we find in the bible. and because the bible says, track the shipment in the ship with got to so in any order is twice to select the shipment, which you did with the profit. if you put so much find out on corporate ship, appreciate it so that the people who are not strong in faith that will fall away from the system. that was some touch leaders like busta to young, the mobile, and continue to justify the actions of the prophets. others find the strength to move on up to spending us, you know, safe house to escape the hitman chevy is on the has found
