A pastor from South Africa by the names of Alfred Ndlovu has
died of malnutrition after going without food for 30 days when he tried
to emulate Jesus Christ and fast for 40 days and 40 nights.
Alfred Ndlovu, 44 left home on 17 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 and church members.
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.
Pastor 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.
