Church members defend their pastor after he sprayed 'doom insecticide' on them during spiritual cleansing (Photo)

Members of a church in Limpopo have defended their pastor, who has taken to spraying them with Doom pesticide as a "healing" technique.

Broadcaster SABC says it was invited to a session with self-proclaimed prophet Lethebo Rabalago at the Mountzion Assembly and saw Mr Rabalago spray both himself and worshippers.

During the visit, one worshipper praised the pastor and said he "stands tall before the Goliath of this world, the media". Mr Rabalago quoted the Bible and included a mention for Doom.

"Those who believe in my name they shall pick up snakes, they shall spray doom and it will not do anything to them, Mark 16," SABC quoted him as saying. Recall that the makers of Doom have since called on the Pastor to stop making use of their product.
