Weird Pastor Sprays Insecticide Into Congregants' Faces Because Jesus

A South African "pastor" says God told him to spray
insecticide into the faces of congregants to cure their ills. 
I'm sure Doom Super Multi Insect Killer is a fine product if you want to get rid of ants, wasps, flies, or whatever.  

However, Lethebo Rabalago says he's found a better use for Doom: He's the pastor of a South African church, and sprays it into his congregants' faces because he insists it cures their ailments, says CNN.

Plus, he said, God told him to use Doom Super Multi Insect Killer on his congregants, and are you really going to argue with God?

For the record, Tiger Brands, the makers of Doom Super Multi Insect Killer say spraying it into someone's face is a terrible idea.

Tiger Brands says it finds the pastor's insecticide use "alarming and extremely concerning." They note it is "unsafe to spray Doom Super Multi Insect Killer ....into people's faces. Anyone who gets sprayed should wash their faces and eyes immediately, and don't inhale the fumes.

However Rabalago and his followers say Doom Super Multi Insect Killer is a miracle brought to them by God's blessing.

According to CNN, Rabalago has posted photographs of him spraying congregants with Doom, and testimonials from said congregants like this: "I came here with a pain on my back and stomach. Now after the propet sprayed me with Doom I am healed. My nose was blocked since last week, but after the prophet sprayed me with Doom I feel coming out of my nose."

Sorry, congregant: You're so high on Doom Super Multi Insect Killer fumes that you no longer feel the pain in your back and stomach. Plus those fumes would probably clear hardened cement from your nose, never mind plugged up snot.

Take my advice: If your church uses Doom Super Multi Insect Killer on your fellow parishoners, instead of say, Communion wafers, it's time to find another church.

Reporter Mugged While In Front Of TV Cameras

One of two muggers threatens South African television
reporter Vuyo Mvoko as he prepared for a live
shot in front of a Johannesburg hospital.  
I guess some criminals are so brazen they're willing to do tbeir deedsin front of television cameras.

A television reporter named Vuyo Mvoko was preparing to do a live report in front of a Johannesburg, South Africa hospital when two men approached.

Mvoko was about to do a report about Zambian President Edgar Lungu, who was at the hospital being treated for an illness.

According to Reuters, Mvoko was approached by two men, one armed with a gun.

Here's Reuters' description of the video, which you can see at the bottom of this post.

"The video....shows the men pacing around repoter Vuyo Mvoko while speaks to the camera outside the hospital, before a scuffle ensues, and then Mvoko is heard shouting, 'Hey, we're being mugged.'

'He was looking for the phone and when I wasn't giving him the phone, he calls the othe rone who has a gun to say 'shoot this dog' or something like that,' Mvoko, who works for hte national broadcaster, told radio station 702 on Wednesday.

'So I gave him the phone.'"

Reuters says South Africa, though it has Africa's most advanced economy, is among the most violent countries in the world outside a war zone. Violent crimes such as rape, robberies and murder are common.

Tidy Elephant Keeps African Safari Lodge Neat And Clean

Tidy elephant in South Africa being tidy.  
Surveillance video at the Thornhill Safari Lodge in South Africa caught an elephant there just trying to keep the place tidy.

The elephant, who was just hanging out, noticed that people had missed the trash can and left papers are other garbage on the grounds.

The elephant took care of that in a hurry.

The elephant turns out to be an unwitting salesperson for the place. Now I want to go and check out all the animals there.

Maybe I should also hire this guy or gal (not sure which) to tidy up around my house, too.

Here's the fun video:
