A 34-year-old man lost his vehicle to a self-styled Muslim prophet during a cleansing ceremony in Highfield on Tuesday.
Gaen Mpofu of Ushewokunze received prophecies from one Kennedy, an alleged South Africa-based Muslim, claiming he possessed evil spirits.
The self-styled prophet claimed he had powers to cleanse him.
Gaen, who is also a Muslim, told media crew that Kennedy approached him last Saturday pretending to be a Muslim prophet from South Africa.
“He asked if I could help him look for accommodation and sought shelter at a mosque in Old Highfield,” said Gaen.
“On Monday at around 7pm, I went for a service and met Kennedy.
“He talked to me and indicated that he was capable of cleansing evil spirits.
“I agreed to be cleansed together with three other members.
“He suggested that the cleansing rituals be done outside the mosque and we went to a certain lodge in Jerusalem (Highfield), using my white Toyota Mark II Grand, registration ABH 0942.
