Snake pastor case postponed - did he feed his congregation rats too?
Pretoria 'prophet' Penuel Mnguni's animal cruelty case for feeding his congregation live snakes has been postponed - as officials try to find a suitable date for his next court appearance.
According to EWN The SPCA’s Mishack Matlou says that there are also allegations that the pastor fed rats to his congregation on Sunday.
Mnguni, who heads the End Times Disciples Ministries in Soshanguve, was arrested on charges of animal cruelty after pictures went viral showing him feeding a live snake to his congregation.
Some of his minders hurled insults as journalists as he went to court.
#SnakeChurch one of his minders just told a reporter that they are a rude gay, but they understand because being gay is a spirit. VM

Mnguni is currently out on bail.
