Departed: TB Joshua died over the weekend

Following the news of the passing on of Nigerian prophet and televangelist TB Joshua, some Batswana who referred to him as their mentor and spiritual father have paid tribute to the departed pastor.

TB Joshua reportedly died on Saturday at age of 57. He was the leader and founder of the Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN), a church that runs the Emmanuel television station in Lagos, Nigeria. Joshua has a huge following locally. Some of his local followers often travelled to Nigeria to attend his church services.

Many looked up to him and referred to themselves as Joshua’s spiritual kin. One of those is a former artist turned prophet, Moses Malapela who told The Monitor he will mourn and celebrate the life of his ‘mentor’.
