Brother Enigma, whose real name is Phillip Thosa, has recently made a name for himself on social media with provocative messages he claims are from God. The single man from Springs in Gauteng often makes remarks that grab the attention of the Christian community. He has also made some hilarious comments about local celebrities, including Minnie Dlamini and the late Senzo Meyiwa.
NOT A PASTOR BUT A MESSENGER
The controversial 'man of God' told ZiMoja that the only reason he does what he does is to spread the word of God and rescue people from hell. "I'm a messenger, so I don't have a church. My job is to spread the Word and show them the right way. I do so because God sends me," he said. He said the only thing he wants to do is make sure that nobody goes to hell.
HIS TAKE ON PEOPLE WITH DREADLOCKS
He also made assertions that Jesus said Satan has already bought people who have dreadlocks; when they die, they turn into snakes and eat their faces. "They read the Bible, but they don't follow God's ways. Those people belong to Satan." The Christian community commented and said he must desist from making statements that are not true. He further stated, "God wants us to be holy like him. God said no one must come to church wearing football t-shirts because soccer belongs to the devil. Famous players who play soccer are not themselves; it's the demons playing. God said that's why they have such money," he said in one of the podcasts he was interviewed on.
HARSH COMMENTS ABOUT MINNIE DLAMINI
In the same podcast, he made claims that media personality Minnie Dlamini had lifted her skirt in his presence and showed him her underwear. "When I looked at her friend, they were both dressed in shorts and naked. A loud voice spoke, and said, Minnie Dlamini, stop walking around naked." He claimed this was the voice of Jesus. He was correcting her because he loves her," he said. He further said that he was proclaiming the message of Jesus to the people. He further made startling claims that the late Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa didn't make it into heaven. He claimed, "Heaven gates are closed on Senzo, and he is in hell; he didn't make it to heaven. Senzo has been judged; he is not in heaven."
