Doom Pastor Gets Slap on the Wrist

Self-styled prophet Lethebo Rabalago, who sprayed his congregants with Doom insect killer to rid them of their sins, has been sentenced to a fine of R21,000 and he can make arrangements to pay it off in monthly instalments! His Mount Zion church is among those who have come under the spotlight as the government set up a commission of inquiry to investigate the practices of various churches in South Africa where members are physically abused and coerced to part with their money and other assets.
