Chaos erupted at the infamous End Times Disciples Ministries church in Soshanguve, north of Pretoria, on Sunday when the EFF members destroyed the church’s tent of and set it on fire.
The EFF brigade had vowed to make the church’s pastor, Penuel Mnguni, eat rodents and snakes like he did to his congregation, ANN7 reported on their Twitter account.
Mnguni’s church made headlines in July after pictures went viral showing him feeding a live snake to his congregation. He was arrested on charges of animal cruelty.
But, according to the reports the pastor was not there for Sunday’s service. However, Mnguni's absence did not stop the EFF from wreaking havoc on the premises.
While the other pastor, who apparently commanded members to eat leaves just as the EFF arrived, the EFF started wrecking havoc – tearing down the churches tent before setting it alight and forced the congregation to disperse, according to eNCA.
Despite the disruptions, the congregation vowed to continue with the service.
Police were monitoring the situation from a few hundred metres away.
