Judgment in the case of a self-proclaimed prophet who allegedly sprayed his congregation with Doom insecticide is on Wednesday expected in the Mookgopong Magistrate’s Court in Limpopo.
Lethebo Rabalago has been charged on seven counts, including five of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
Rabalago landed in hot water when a video showing him spraying members of his church with the insecticide, went viral in 2016.
The Limpopo Health Department then obtained a high court interdict banning him from using the substance on humans.
His trial in the Mookgopong magistrate’s court relates to charges laid by the Limpopo Department of Agriculture under an Act that prohibits the use of any agricultural remedy for purposes not intended for.
Five community members have also laid assault charges against Rabalago.
They were allegedly sprayed with DOOM without consent.
