Pictures last week depicting Mnguni allegedly feeding a live snake to one of his followers have gone viral on social media.

Members of Prophet Penuel's End Times Disciples Ministries in Soshanguve, Pretoria ate parts of a snake, believing it would become chocolate.
Images posted onto the church's social media sites show Penuel dangling a live snake and dropping it into the mouths of his congregants.

 

"Man of God declared a snake to become a chocolate (chomp) and the congregation ate it. We have authority to change everything into anything and it will obey because of our authority," read a post on the church's Facebook page.
The controversial Penuel previously commanded his church to drink petrol and eat cloths.
