A pastor attempting to demonstrate Godâs power by walking on water has been eaten by crocodiles.
Shocked witnesses said the clergyman had âprayed the whole weekâ before the stunt went tragically wrong.
He had also fasted in the lead-up to the attempted miracle, which was inspired by a Biblical tale of Jesus walking on water during a storm.
Crocodile River
Horrified members of the Saint of the Last Days Church said the pastor was completely devoured in a âcouple of minutesâ.
He had waded around 30 metres into what was known locally as 'Crocodile River'. At this point he had promised his congregation he would rise up above the water.
Instead he was brutally attacked by a group of crocodiles who had been hidden in the deep water.
Deacon Nkosi said: âThe pastor taught us about faith on Sunday.
Fasting
âHe promised he would demonstrate his faith to us today, but he unfortunately ended up drowning and getting eaten by three large crocodiles in front of us.
âWe still donât understand how this happened because he fasted and prayed the whole week.â
He said his death was quick and brutal.
