Reacting to claims that he is a scam artist, he says, “I’m just a messenger of God’s work. God heals people in our meetings. One time I got doctors here in Pretoria to bring patients with HIV — they tested them before to show they are HIV, I prayed for them and again afterward and now they were HIV-negative.”

“My ministry is not for everyone, it is for those who have faith,” he adds.

Concerning his prosperity message and lavish lifestyle, the prophet says, “My prosperity is an inspiration for my followers — they think if God can do it for me, He can do it for them. If they believed there is anything wrong, they wouldn’t be following me."
