When charismatic pastor Paseka Mboro announced that he was going to confront resurrection "miracle" pastor Alph Lukau at the latter's church on Thursday, South Africans geared themselves for an epic showdown.
Instead, Mboro, who had challenged Pastor Lukau to raise Nelson Mandela from the dead, was forced to pray outside the locked gates of Lukau's Alleluia Ministries International (AMI) in Johannesburg where a large crowd had gathered to bear witness.
Disappointingly, Lukau did not make an appearance, but Mboro's dramatic prayers and dire warnings against "fake" pastors certainly got the attention of Twitter users.
Here are some of their reactions:
SA : Pastor mboro
KE :pastor who now?? pic.twitter.com/MkSX8RYCUt

Taken his prayer spectacle to doorstep of #Alleluiaministries Pastor Lukau who faked resurection of "dead man."

For some reason seeing pastor Mboro’s BMW i8 and Pastor Lukau’s Rolls Royce reminded me that Jesus rode a donkey pic.twitter.com/kESSBKjo51

I'm only concerned that next to Pastor Mboro is BMW i8. A man who claimed he went to heaven and took selfies with God is now condemning pastor Ralph Lukau for faking Ressurection miracles. Just a thief fighting another thief. As Africans, these are the men we glorify. Issa pity pic.twitter.com/9pX16NiKfj
