Mgqumeni impersonator arrested

arrested.
Mdunge said: “We have been advised not to comment on the matter as investigations are at an advanced stage.”
But a police source who is part of the investigating team was firm the man had indeed been arrested.
“He will be charged with impersonation, among other charges that he will face,” said a source.
The man shocked the country last week when he claimed to be Mgqumeni and that he rose from the dead by the powers of Ekuphakameni church, a faction of the Shembe church.
The man was playing a guitar, just like Mgqumeni.
Spokesman of the church, Edward Ximba, refused to comment on the matter.
“All the information at our disposal will be given to the police because the matter is under investigation,” he said.
The members of the Khumalo family were divided. Some believed he was indeed Mgqumeni, but others disagreed. Zintombi Khumalo, Mgqumeni’s great-grandfather, said he was present in 2009 when Mgqumeni was buried and did not believe the man was him.
Meanwhile King Goodwill Zwelithini has called on maskandi musicians to take care of their lives and refrain from sleeping around.
A maskandi muscican group visited King Zwelithini’s Enyokeni Palace in Nongoma on Friday to plead with him to seek the divine intervention of amadlozi (ancestors) to protect them. – Sowetan.
