Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng has stood firm after widespread criticism of his public prayer at a Gauteng government event held at the Tembisa Hospital in Ekurhuleni on Thursday, where he prayed for any “devilish” Covid-19 vaccine to be destroyed by fire.
Mogoeng said during the prayer: “I lock out every demon of Covid-19, I lock out any vaccine that is not of You [God]. If there be any vaccine that is of the devil, meant to infuse 666 in the lives of people, meant to corrupt their DNA … any such vaccine, may it be destroyed by fire.”
Christians believe 666 to be the mark of the devil.
