The ManicaPost
WHAT is this that we hear about that other filthy thigh vendor who once made headlines in this newspaper after she and two of her colleagues were swindled off their cellphones by a fake prophet whom they had consulted in search of love potions.
Word reaching Yours Truly is that one of them, the one whose name can loosely be translated to “wake up”, recently performed her own version of Zodwa antics at this other popular hotel with Asian links.
Unlike Zodwa, who performs in skimpy dressing, Blabber is informed that in her drunken stupor, she actually undressed and remained in her birthday suit as she danced on the stage until she was dragged out by some sex maniacs who feasted on her one after the other.
Shame on her!
Seek first the Kingdom of God
This one goes out to all my brothers and sisters in the business of preaching or ministering the word of God to congregants in different denominations.
I have always told you, Gentle Reader, the gist of this widely read column is to preserve the little that remains of our moral fabric by exposing social ills within our midst.
This week, far from the wayward businessmen, far from rogue elements within our respected police force and far from the filthy thigh vendors, there are “men and women of God” who have perfected the art of living a life beyond their means.
While Jesus fed five thousand people with two fish and five loaves of bread, our dear comrades ministering the word are taking away the little that their followers have in order for them to live lavish lifestyles.
Contemporary pastors, deacons and church elders seem to have lost the plot, thus Yours Truly will not fold arms akimbo and remain aloof while unholy gospelneurship takes centre stage.
After all, Mathew 6 verse 33 reads: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”.
Gentle Reader, my heart bleeds when I see people being hoodwinked by this other so-called prophet who made a name for himself in the city through fake miracles.
I mean that other diminutive, yet talkative pseudo man of God who was once arraigned before the courts for adultery and also for negligent driving which cost the life of an innocent pedestrian.
Word reaching Yours Truly is that he is now failing to make ends meet as tithes have dwindled to below $50 per month, while church Sunday offerings are no longer exceeding $10 per week.
In fact, he is refusing to move out of a house he is failing to pay rentals for in that plush valley just outside the city centre on our way to that other popular open space beer and braai joint.
During the days that his fake miracles were rewarding, he managed to pay a deposit for the house, but right now he can no longer afford to pay the rest of the amount, let alone pay rentals.
Blabber is informed that he is even refusing to vacate the premises for prospective buyers and he even has the spine to threaten the owner that whoever comes in if he eventually vacates will not be able to stay there after he “sorted” the place.
Is this how men and women of God must behave? Is it not wiser and holier for him to revert to his four-roomed house back in that high-density suburb where he started his phony ministry?
This fool is not the only one in this. You remember that other “Man of God” who was once implicated in a rape case and was eventually let off the hook owing to a technicality.
Word reaching Yours Truly is that he is also failing to adjust and clinging on to a lifestyle he can barely afford anymore given the small church offerings and tithes coming his way.
He is even failing to pay school fees for his own children. Blabber sincerely hopes and prays that they see the light and join us in the high-density suburbs where rentals and school fees are a bit affordable.
Live within your means you “men of God”!
