Epworth, Zimbabwe - The prophet, Simbarashe Kamupondera, 31, of Nyeredzi Nhatu apostolic sect, met his fate around midday as he was attending to a congregant at the Ruwa River banks when he was swept away by a strong current.
However, the family believes Simbarashe is still alive claiming he was abducted by mermaids known as njuzu in vernacular.
“Simbarashe came to stay with us a month ago. He has been telling us that he had a spirit of a mermaid.
“He also said that a prophet had prayed for a cloth that he gave him to always tie when getting into the waters. Yesterday he bought a new cloth after he had written his name on the old one saying that he could no longer use it.
“He tied it today before he got into the water,” Magma Mutingwende, Simbarashe’s sister-in-law said.
The father of two is also said to have frequented the river several times taking a bath and baptizing people.
