Fasting Controversy: Paul Mackenzie Denies Encouraging Followers’ Fatal Fast
Paul Mackenzie, a controversial pastor, has defended himself against allegations that he leads a church that is similar to a cult.
Mackenzie stated in his statement that he did not preach about the end of the world or call on his followers to fast until death in the recording that he made with the police regarding the tragedy that occurred at Shakahola.
Mackenzie also claims that there is not a physical church anywhere, including deep within the Shakahola forest. However, he claims that he purchased the 800-acre piece of land in Shakahola, subdivided the piece of land to his followers, and his followers bought it at will. Mackenzie also claims that some of his followers have not yet cleared payments for the purchase of the aforementioned pieces of land.
