KwaZulu Natal self-styled Messiah Alfred Ndlovu has died from
malnutrition after going without food for 30 days when he tried to
emulate Jesus Christ and fast for 40 days and 40 nights.
Alfred Ndlovua, 43, left home on 15 June and headed into the bush to
conduct prayers, redirecting his attention to God, away from things of
the earth.
He was known by his family and community at large as a very spiritual
person whose faith could move mountains and his death has puzzled those
close to him.
One close relative said: He was a very spiritual man. Its unfortunate
he had to die this way. After a month we got the sad news of his death.
He was a healthy and religious old man who did not even look his age.”
Attempting to equal or break Jesus Christ record of fasting for 40
days, Mr Alfred Ndlovu gave up the ghost after just a month despite
having no history of illness. He was alone in the wilderness and his
body was found by a stranger who then alerted the police.
According to the police, Mr Alfred Ndlovu is not the first to die
from fasting, as numerous other cases have been reported. A police
spokesman said that they are powerless, however, to prevent members of
the public from fasting.
May his soul rest in Peace
