Controversial 'snake pastor' Penuel Mnguni is back to preaching in Soshanguve following the destruction of his tent earlier this month, and he claims to have made his church members speak Nigerian Pidgin, Chinese and different languages that no one can understand.
According to the Facebook page for his End Times Disciples Ministries, during a Sunday Live Service on August 23, 2015, the pastor "commanded the sheep to come to the front and he started demonstrating power through them."
"He first commanded the spirit of a snake to enter into them and commanded the spirit to show its character in them. They started moving like snakes and behaving like snakes. He then sent them to go to Nigeria and they started to speak like Nigerians.
"He further demonstrated by sending them into the water and commanded them to swim. They all started swimming and behaving like the different creatures living under the sea. He then turned them into sheep and they started bleating like goats making sounds as if they were goats. He turned one of them into a horse, climbed on top of him, and turned his head to become his feet and he stood on his head with his legs up.
"He took them to the church next to the bridge and one of them manifested saying 'We must tell people that Prophet Penuel is the one causing accidents at Moloto Road.'
"After taking them to the church he turned them into statues, he then commanded them to speak in different languages that no one can understand, and some even spoke in Chinese. The last demonstration was when he commanded them to sleep and hit one woman on her back. The man of God woke her up and asked her if she felt any pain, she responded by saying that she felt no pain," the Facebook update says.
The pastor has been criticised for making his flock eat snakes and rats.
On August 9, the pastor's tent was set on fire allegedly by members of the Economic Freedom Fighters. The party however denied this saying that while they led a march to the tent, local residents torched it.
In commenting on the burning of his church, Mnguni told the gathering that: "Those that thought that they are taking us down were taking us up... If you are a man of God when you leave this place people are going to persecute you because of what is going to happen in this place tonight.
"We believe in the Lord, what God is going to do upon your life is unexplainable because it will cause the rising and falling of many. We are no longer like the prophets of old, when people see you they must run away because they do not understand you because of the spirit in you."
