Controversial clergyman Paseka Motsoeneng popularly‚ known as Pastor Mboro‚ has come out strongly against the backlash he received for purchasing new fancy wheels worth R2 million‚ saying God has rewarded him.
Soon after Mboro flaunted his flashy BMW i8‚ which retails in the country for about R2 million‚ eyebrows were raised and Twitter users took to the social media platform to lambaste the pastor‚ with some labelling him a “false prophet.”
In response to the slew of backlash‚ Mboro explained that his latest splurge is one of the ways in which God has changed his life‚ after embarking on an 8-week journey‚ called Incredible 8 Weeks‚ where he apparently prayed for God to transform people’s lives‚ including his.
“People don’t understand how I am able to afford a BMW‚” he said during his radio show on Ekurhuleni’s Kasie FM.
“It’s funny because we had Incredible 8 Weeks‚ and in this Incredible 8 Weeks‚ I said God is going to change my life.’’
He also explained that God has rewarded him for all the work he does for the poor‚ pointing out to an incident in which he claims he paid over R80 000 towards funeral costs for a boy belonging to the Congress of South African Students (COSAS)‚ who recently died.
“The Bible says‚ those who take care of the poor‚ will be lifted up by Jesus. I’ve been helping the poor. God is rewarding me‚ with an i8‚” he revealed.
