Temitope Joshua, the healer and his wise men as they are fondly called
have been denied South African visas and banned from visiting Zimbabwe. This came as a result of a tragedy that killed over 80 South African pilgrims at his church earlier this month.
Why Many South Africans Died At TB Joshua’s Church. According to reliable sources, South Africans are passionate about the Synagogue Church, always coming there on pilgrimage.
There
is a tour package which cost an average of 10,000 Rands each for one
week. The collapsed building was meant for Southern African groups like
worshipers from Namibia, Lesotho, Mozambique, Botswana and the Republic
of South Africa.
Worshipers from Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore,
Japan also use the collapsed building but investigation revealed that
South Africans were more because Pastor Joshua decided to give more
opportunities for the South Africans who have remained insistent and
shown solidarity to SCOAN. No fewer than 84 South Africans were killed
in the tragedy.
Healing of sicknesses and diseases also bring
nationals from other countries to Synagogue – all for miracles. Holy
water, otherwise called anointing water, is sold to pilgrims between
N5000 and N10,000 per bottle.
Even thousands of anointing water
bottles are exported to some West African countries. Worshipers from
foreign nations are encouraged to stay until after seven days. They are
always screened and registered by the church authorities. Those with
financial problems believe that use of the anointing oil restore their
finances.
