You may have heard of prophets of doom. Talk of doomsday prophets has been with us for ages and little did we know all this while that one day we would literally have one in person! A�
Freshly minted from Mzansi is a prophet that heals congregants by spraying Doom insecticide that he believes has healing powers after he prays over the spray. Batho! As they say in South Africa. I wish I could also do a tongue click to show which way this rubs me.
I have seen people being healed without anyone touching them, or spraying anything on them. I have seen people being healed through prayer. But I am yet to see gamatox or any insecticide doing more than just exterminating insects. The company that manufactures the product, Tiger Brands, has entered the fray, dissociating its product from any of the alleged healing properties and warning against its continued abuse.
a�?We find this practice alarming and extremely concerning, and want to make very clear that it is unsafe to spray any Doom or any aerosol onto peoplea��s faces,a�? said Tiger Brands.
This, coming after another Mzansi prophet made his congregants drink petrol and eat grass to access blessings and claim their healing. This new Prophet Lethabo Rabalago,however, insists he is acting according to his faith which could see harmful substances used to cure ailments.
And the creativity around the scandalous healing sessions by the nutty prophet has been quite amazing.
The latest creativity centres around the Doom product. I have to say, the prophet is a great marketer of the product, just that he is putting it to wrong use! Some have released a full range of a new line of Doom, Doom Love problems,A� Doom bad witchcraft, Doom money and blessings and Doom Evil Spirit Removal Plus! Now these same creative minds have also renamed his church SiyakuDOOMisa Church, with the name placed just below a towering cross on the wall above the front door with the bright Doom colours below! May Jesus come soon before we see worse things than the current magic and utter madness. I beg oh!
We know water from Khami Dam or Enkwalini/Epworth Pool has been passed off as water from the River Jordan by people who are yet to apply for a passport, and you wonder how they got to the Jordan River to collect such water that they are now liberally blessing people with!A� The stampede for blessings has to be stopped lest we lose many people who are likely to be subjected to all kinds of things in the name of blessing and healing.
As the doomsters in neighbouring Mzansi were at it aiming the spray cans, the Trump/media relations also appeared doomed in the USA after the President-elect lambasted media moguls and accused them of being liars. At the risk of sounding Doomsdayish, the Trump Presidency may not last four years if he takes his full electoral energies into rulership.A� Media beware of Trump and vice-versa. Back home, the womena��s football campaign appeared all but doomed after we fell to Egypt after holding the Mzansi girls earlier.
They may just have had that DOOM advantage from Limpopo! Where are our prophets please. When shall our sport bring smiles to us, at least some happy faces before Christmas.A� We may, however, soon have bond smiles, or is it unbound, boundless smiles upon release of bond notes on the market. And by the way I am running a campaign to collect as many raincoats as we possibly can for cricketing purposes.
You see, the rains have been muddying our game in Bulawayo and we have not had enough covers for the field hence the appeal to patriotic cricket loving fans out there to donate raincoats and tent material so our ODIs are not washed off. Please let us not pray for the rain to stop, we need all the water that we can get. If we had a way of influencing the rainfall patterns, we would divert rains meant for some other far away lands for our own use!
