Babtise in that water?

What blacks do in the river knowing very well that they can't swimm even in a kids swimming pool?

There has been lots of rain. The rivers are full. Hopefully no other churches try baptisms.

Haybo during Baptisim?

These Zimbabweans are not listening at all. How can they perform a ritual in the middle of night during the rainy season?

I still don't understand why Churches and sangomas go for baptism in these filthy rivers especially in spruit/thokoza and Alex jukskei all the township leaking sewage is running through that river but people would still go in there🙄🙄🙄🙄

Ritual

Why is the province and national saying nothing I mean it's 15 souls
