Bulawayo-based controversial preacher, Mduduzi Dube, popularly known as Black Elisha, said he will use his powers to stop road accidents from occurring during this year’s festive season.
Black Elisha, who insists he is not a traditional healer or anything of that sort, vowed to use his spiritual “padlock” to block accidents. He said:
It’s now a norm that when it’s the festive season, death, especially from road accidents, is the order of the day, but we have to put a stop to that.
We can’t let the devil take away more of what he has taken from us this year. Already the year has been the worst ever and we lost many people, friends, relatives, workmates and congregants.
During the festive season, the devil will be praying for more bloodshed and we should pray against that. I have been on the mountain over the issue. God showed me that we should continue using the ‘spiritual padlock’ to curb carnages.
Prayer defeats the works of the devil and with the spiritual padlock through God, we shall see through a prosperous new year filled with the creator’s blessings.
Black Elisha is the founder and leader of Christ Life Generation Church which congregates in Old Magwegwe, Bulawayo.
According to data from the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), 138 people died in 1 518 road accidents during the three weeks of the festive period from December 13, 2019, to January 6, 2020.
During that period, a total of 565 people were injured in the accidents.
