Prominent Kitwe clergyman Prophet Emmanuel Nyirongo, who recently made headlines for turning water into paraffin, has died in a road traffic accident at Baluba area in Luanshya.
Prophet Nyirongo, who was returning from Lusaka with four of his followers, is among two people who lost their lives as three others are still battling for their lives at Kitwe Central Hospital.
Prophet Faith Missions Vice Chairman Elison Sakala has confirmed the death of the clergyman saying the accident happened around 03 and 04hrs on Sunday Morning.
Elder Sakala says preliminary investigations indicate that the minibus they were travelling in overturned killing Prophet Nyirongo’s assistant Pastor instantly.
He added that Prophet Nyirongo later died at Wusakile Mine Hospital.
The bodies of the deceased are lying at Kitwe Central Hospital where the other two survivors are battling for their lives while one has since been discharged.
Meanwhile, dozens of church members were this morning found seated outside the church as some men removed furniture from the building en route to the funeral house following the suspension of church services.
Prophet Nyirongo used to run a weekly Christian programme on ZNBC TV1 called 30 Minutes of Power with Prophet Emmanuel Nyirongo.

Lusaka voice you report like a mad person. Not long time ago,you reported that Prophet Nyirongo has been punished for being a fake Prophet.Now you say Pastor Nyirongo is mourned . If you know nothing about someone,just stay and drink your usual beer. Who are you to judge the Prophet? Only God knows everything. These men of God you see around go through a lot of things for them to reach there. That time you’re drinking,they are busy praying & reading the word of God. Play with politicians & not men of God or else you speak ill of the God’s sent Prophet.,you receive a curse.
