i'm convinced that the past couple months have been to the powers that can destroy the what he said to me was that, you know, i was, i was 14. so if, if i told anyone i know the man of god could be facing jail time, which is something that cannot happen. he, he told me that this was to be a covenants between himself, myself and god. and that if, if i were to tell anyone i would be breaking the covenant and the punishment for breaking a covenant was dis. so it was a sunday finishing on the recordings from the time we see each other is only putting off a smile for the cameras. in reality because she was caught in a web will feel and intimidation. we'd have to ment, underwood ever more, goes into his scheme zone. do finally must

so has been behind boss for almost 6 years. he's being charged with rape, record sharing and human trafficking. we'll get back to that story soon. but 1st, we have to say such a big past is not only in south africa, it was perfect and prophecies fucking points and gun. um. yep. very privileged during election, where preachers claim to know outcomes, color before the west, also comes promptly, get groups with some preachers location or they prosecute, say, when the victims for parts to that please. with freedom of worship and train and guidance goes through the same. these are remain a sensitive one. list is same as clumping down our religious right. the 1st preference no does not use people's respect for relate to about 20 yards. a girl called to the convinced as follow us about us 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 the saw chord, men of gods, claiming supernatural powers from predicting switchboard on election results to claiming to cure diseases like cancer. there's tell evangelists, allegedly paying people to pretend that they've been healed. this past was asking people to send the money at every opportunity, and a recent tragedy sparks an outcry as follows. of the pastor at 10 years coast stopped himself to death. in the hope of redemption, kenya has in the past taking 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 clearly it's really happening all across the continent. or have you heard about such fake passed the incidents in your area. so started with us and we're not going to 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. can you waste on a go for each other? quotes in the to it is pull us to fast onto the meat. jesus is victim stuff today and that starts to quote, was very, to preach us coming across africa and then lucky claims i live in catastrophic consequences. behind so is it time to stump the welcome to the flip side, because in kenya, it's not an isolated one. this preacher truth is going to be gods around us because people to eat grass racks. and this was this for the show us, the liquid we met,

at least is just endless. but what's all it is for just having come on is that the place have an, was in the appreciate some people capitalize or one text or st. jeff, it's, 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 why the condition language in abject poverty. in some cases they would use the elite is in an extreme is in so that the need of a seem to have the right content. good. and therefore whatever the safeguards and therefore whatever they say courthouses and then people just do whatever these say toner funded. 60, 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'll get health and work ethic street gets a 2nd hold on because of all the because all the partners that kind of be sold. well that's the most of that. so it's clear that 1st started to pigeon is quote, is what the main question is. a soul plus birds pretend to be stopped and the original gospel of christ being for the best initial that the judge 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. quotes the quotes isn't in range of from the less government. i'm really just buddies. oh, it's the wash best to protect them from this prospect to purchase that has been the flip side. thanks blue out for that. one thing is for sure, that should be a way to protect vulnerable people. for sparts, he preaches

a quite coming across the continent. back inside africa, we look at how some past is a finding sneaky ways of an origin themselves. the name of that. 2 on a sunday morning in the old coast of pretoria, members of jesus mission judge got the to prepare for their weekly songs. many of them praying to one prophet ship that we should be weeds 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 motor from industry of the properties. no, we have to be phone except smiling from a pulse. the machine is on the run, wanted full fraud and money laundering. the people give the cause. patients and education funds and lost everything in 2019. the profit was arrested out on pain. however, he money to feed the country. meanwhile, these 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 out. today. pasta, my buena one of which is beautiful sounds mix of prophecy for a young woman desperately trying to find a job. the up to the profit to be charge of members to call to envelopes with money,

which they hand over to the pasta. we are not allowed to feel in that despite the allegations of food on sexual assault against their touch liter, many congregants to sleep, defend him to the people here, the for the, for getting my life just in this is my life. well, real human right. i appreciate it, i have the own my life. so whatever the dog, you know, if the word doesn't forgive him, hey good. the so low on options believes that a comfortability must come before forgiveness the jobs,

but best during the list 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, have tons and so tough because 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, nonprofit stuff for perfect because they keep taking advantage of people. they abuse women, we take money from people that smart, intelligent, and very good sales people. they can sell anything to you. you just need to package yourself very well, put on time a suit and have a way that you can speak with a target to get a place. the social media long, some, some cost, and all that speak the right deceitful language. but the problem is beek 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 euros 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 must see was no wanted by the authorities to day i shall just following up on the case a b c. 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 going to come the new place i moved to, i was to use my address. 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 may still be true. false prophets laycock 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. course welcome to do with it will come in 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 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 us from using and abusing people. people like to come financing from move. well,

we had at the end of the report have been trying to draw attention to the problem. but there is constant of position. so low in 2017 football equinox each of the former comfortable rights and language commission. i investigated all 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 cost a new one. now is the show of a huge jump. the deputy president said she is staring up too much trouble. yes, a, it's a, it's a so static problems. it's 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 decide to go to this searches looking for, for you kind of step fix

a system. it's a nice the closest to forgetting folks said. so which is record is at some point and i realized ok, leave them being, they see it. people put it. this is getting the band. oh, it says votes for what? a bucket preferred shift i wish it is. jesus nation charging pretoria, putnam a boon. the works through the wrongs to pray for each member individually up to 6 hours of service. company guns are in a set of trends. the,

when confronted with crimes of these prophets, estimable and has a simple explanation, i always refer people to the bible because the same. the same challenges that we encounter today is 7, some 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, this tries to select the ship on which you did with the profit. if you put so much find out on profit chip, i'd appreciate it so that people who are not strong in the face that will fall away from the system. it was some touch leaders like plus talked to young and the mobile

and continued to justify the actions of the prophets. others find the strength to move on up to spending years? you know, so if i was to escape the hitman chevy is on the has phone a lot for music once again the, even though the child for her to mentor much also has been ongoing for 6 years, is on the has no fear. other started a successful singing 3 a as a solo used she is currently working on our 2nd album and has been able to move on with the help of months of counseling to do with the past. and that's all that. and that is, you know, telling this kind of story shouldn't change or alter the course of your life and all the things that you had before. so in the story before any of this kind of this kind of stuff has happened to you shouldn't change just because, you know,

this has happened is still you, eugene, is that still valid? and i think, and i think that's really important. let's just not using your identity to something that switch from zoned in out us. we know how difficult it is to break freeform uninvited women that chase people. we don't, my fiance, the logical tara, an exec social pressure on its members to fully 9. but we also know how important it is to do so for yourself and others. if you may find yourself in a similar situation, speak out, but seek assistance is going to be a lot of backlash. even from people that you know, within the judge, your friends, you're not going to be if you fight the system but expect the system to fight make . so it's a and by virtue fight we
