More details have emerged regarding the man, Elliot Brighton Moyo who was allegedly “raised” from the dead by South African Pastor Alph Lukau in February.
Reports from B-Metro say that Brighton ‘Elliot’ Moyo’s real name is actually Thabiso Proud Mlanje.
The 28 year Elliot who was buried in Lupane area of Zimbabwe – had his relatives summoned by the police who revealed to them that he was wanted for fraud in connection with his “resurrection” back in South Africa.
“We didn’t know that he had died and resurrected. Trouble started after the funeral because the police arraigned us and told us that he had been wanted for fraud,” said Thabiso’s father-in-law, Bernard Mayendayenda Sibanda.
Sibanda revealed that he had to deal with the police concerning Elliot’s resurrection drama and since he is dead he has to respond to questions he does not know of.
Commenting on the incident Elliot’s grandmother Emily Moyo said,
“I raised my grandson single handedly because both his parents died in Harare when he was young. I only managed to send him to Gegeme Primary School but he could not go further with his studies because of financial constraints. That is how he decided to go to South Africa to make a living. Now what pains me is that it’s been seven years since he went to South Africa and he had never set foot home or contacted me in those seven years. I only got to see him as a corpse. We buried him right next to his grandfather because when he was sick he kept telling his in-laws that he wants to lie next to his grandfather.”
Moyo revealed that Elliot was constantly vomiting blood before his death.
