The post quickly spread across social media platforms, prompting widespread debate as users reacted to the pastor’s claims and discussed whether the message should be taken seriously.
The Zimbabwean pastor’s Facebook post
In the now-viral post, the pastor wrote: “If Jacinta doesn’t reform and lives up to next year Nov, ban me from RSA, close my churches, close my bank accounts, burn my house in RSA and burn my colleges. I see street gunshots, three in the chest, one on the forehead. May God punish me if it is my word.”
The post has since been widely shared, with many users expressing concern over the graphic nature of the alleged prophecy.
Social media divided
The pastor’s statement has sparked mixed reactions online.
Some users said Jacinta should take the warning seriously and prayed for her safety, while others dismissed the post as an unverified prophecy and cautioned against spreading fear based on claims that cannot be independently verified.
Others criticised the decision to publish such a graphic prediction on social media, arguing that posts of this nature can cause unnecessary panic and anxiety.
Jacinta needs to tighten up her security.
