SHOCK AS 23 SOUTH AFRICANS JOIN TERRORIST GROUP

MBABANE – Hardly two months following a prophesy that the Kingdom of Swaziland and South Africa should brace themselves for the invasion of the world’s feared terrorist, the movement has hit neighbouring South Africa, it seems.

According to yesterday’s Al Jazeera reports, at least 23 South Africans have joined the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS). The 23 are said to include eight families-and reportedly joined some time last year.

A leading Nigerian priest and popular televangelist, Tim Amotoso, delivering a sermon in his Jesus Dominion International church, told a stunned congregation that Swaziland would fall prey and be severely affected as the terrorist groups would invade the kingdom this year. The priest delivered prophesied in Durban, South Africa, in April.

As such, every Swazi was urged to pray against the impending doom as the terrorists would kidnap and behead people in the Kingdom.
According to Al Jazeera’s latest report, a Turkish foreign ministry official claims that a dozen South Africans were detained and deported back for trying to reach ISIS territory last month. Apparently Turkey,, isn’t particularly worried about the recruits coming from South Africa.

“We are, after all, dealing with thousands of fighters from some 90 countries,” the official said.

That said, South African Muslims are more concerned.
In efforts to combat ISIL propaganda, the United Ulema Council of South Africa (UCSA), an umbrella body of Muslim organisations, has issued a national khutbah, or sermon, “encouraging Muslims to be wary of recruitment activities of the ISIL group in South Africa”.
