Chaos erupted at the infamous End Times Disciples Ministries church in Soshanguve, Pretoria, South Africa, yesterday when Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) members destroyed the church’s tent and set it on fire.
The church, noted for its infamy, was razed to the ground after series of untoward displays from its pastor, Penuel Mnguni.
According to South Africa news platform, Times Live, the EFF brigade specifically vowed to feed Mnguni snakes and rodents, exactly as he had done to members of his ETDM Church.
Sometime in July, Mnguni and his church made the headlines when it was reported that he forced his members to eat live snakes, amongst other acts as stripping members and forcing them to eat their underwear.
He was subsequently arrested on the grounds of violating animal rights.

It was gathered that though the pastor wasn’t present at the Sunday service on August 9, 2015; the EFF went ahead with the wreckage regardless.
Also, like a true ‘disciple’, a deputy pastor was already in the process of commanding members to eat leaves about the time the EFF reached the church yesterday.
Police presence was spotted a few metres away. The police had taken position to help restore calm and order in the event things went out of hand, given the EFF had razed the church completely, forced the members to leave the scene yet they wouldn’t disperse.
The congregation had reportedly promised to carry on with the service in spite of the disruptions.
