A video has surfaced showing Nigerian pastor, T.B. Joshua, warning South Africans of a “youth revolt” in their nation which would result in deaths of “certain people”.
The clip, uploaded to Joshua’s popular YouTube channel Emmanuel TV, says the controversial cleric prophesied about the deadly xenophobic attacks spreading across South Africa on Sunday 28th July 2013.

“In the nation, South Africa, we should help them in prayer because I am seeing youth revolt,” the clip quotes Mr. Joshua as saying. “It will be very serious. A situation where youth will come out and… you learn that there is a protest. Some people were killed – certain people.”
Mr. Joshua’s prediction made the front cover of South African newspaper-based City Press newspaper in August 2013 when Julius Malema, the fiery leader of South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), visited his church in Nigeria for “spiritual blessings”.
The clip was posted alongside a message from Mr. Joshua to South Africans.
“If we fail to see that there are powers that cause people to be bowed down in bondage, we are going to fight the wrong battle,” he wrote, in a statement posted on the Nigerian pastor’s official Facebook page, followed by over 1.5 million people.
He then proceeded with a prayer for “calmness” in South Africa. “I pray for my nation, South Africa. As Jesus stood in the boat and commanded the storms to be calm, I stand in the midst of the storm in my nation, South Africa and I command the storm, wind and waves to be calm, in the name of Jesus! I speak calmness to my nation, South Africa, in the name of Jesus!”
The recent spate of xenophobic violence has spread to different South African cities, with thousands of foreign-owned shops forcibly closed and their owners seeking refuge in makeshift camps.
Five immigrants are said to have been killed, including a 14 year-old boy. Horrifying images and videos have surfaced online showing locals burning foreign nationals and looting their shops.
The violence erupted shortly after a purported statement from the Zulu King, Goodwill Zwelithini, calling on foreigners to return to their countries as they were causing economic “inconvenience” to locals.
T.B. Joshua’s television station, Emmanuel TV, is especially popular in South Africa where thousands of Christians annually go for “pilgrimage” at his church, The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations, in Lagos, Nigeria.

You just keep predicting without funding solution. Blind bat that you are. FYI we all predicted it, so it's not exclusive to you Mr.
ReplyDeleteA foolish human being, thats what TB joshua is! Is there any country without unrest and periodic revolts from the youth? Even a mad man can predict that a teenage boy would be stabbed in the US of A, and it must happen sooner or later! Anybody can predict that in any country, a teenager would die from drinking and driving, and that too must happen. If you really think you see the future, why didn't you mention the particular day in which the revolt would begin? Why didn't you give specifics as to the revolt? Why didn't you tell us how the revolt would be stopped!!! This man must be thrown in prison to go and meet his uncle, reverend king!
ReplyDeleteAnd nigerianeye, please please and please, stop giving credence to this fraudster. He's only seeking attention, and you're helping him achieve that by posting things about him, things which are all false.
