Drowned man identified as prophet

BULAWAYO police have clarified that a man who drowned at a baptism pool in Pumula South last month was not a member of Prophet Thabiso Ngwenya’s church as they initially reported.

The police said Ngwenya was not there at the baptism ceremony and the man is believed to be a “prophet” who was conducting his own baptism ceremony.
Initially, police said they suspected that the man had drowned while being baptised by Ngwenya.
