Bishop Joshua Maponga, the outspoken Zimbabwean public speaker, musician, social entrepreneur, leader, philosopher, and author, has once again found himself at the center of online discussions. This time, it’s not for his bold statements or thought-provoking messages, but for his current appearance that has left netizens both concerned and amused.
A few days ago, pictures of Maponga lying in a cave looking dehydrated began circulating online. Some photos suggest he has been spending his days and nights in the ‘wilderness’, dressed in animal skins, reminiscent of a time long past.
However, it wasn’t the cave or the animal skins that caught people’s attention—it was his notably ashy legs.
The sight of Maponga’s dry, ashy legs has prompted a flurry of comments and reactions on social media, with some fans calling on pastors and spiritualists to come to his aid, claiming he has lost his sanity.

Others, however, insist that he’s merely creating content and has not lost his marbles.
Some X (Twitter) users didn’t hold back their humor:
“Those legs haven’t seen Vaseline in 40 years,” quipped Am_Blujay.
“Vaseline is a colonial product; he doesn’t use that lol,” added tafpay.
“Mental illness is real in this one. He started first by insulting Jesus Christ, then the Holy Mary, and all of Jesus Christ’s disciples. Lastly, he said that there’s no God. Today he is eating grass and living in caves,” remarked Lebona_Cabonena.
“He’s a content creator 🤥🤥🤣🤣 Charlatan of note if you ask me,” stated Its_Emmy_Boo1.
“Kuita corruption kusvika vanhu vakugara mumapako 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣,” laughed daddyhope.
“You must now listen to him about what he saw in the cave 😂. A lot of stories will be told,” mused danielranoko.
