The Doom Pastor has been found guilty of assault and
prosecutors want him jailed.
Lethebo Rabalago was also found guilty of contravening the
Agricultural Stock Remedies Act. Rabalago claims the insect repellent he used
in 2016 could heal cancer and HIV.
A sentence is yet to be handed down after the verdict by
Mookgopong Magistrates Court in Limpopo province. On Friday, magistrate Frans
Mahodi told the court the state had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt
that the five people who laid assault charges were violated, South Africa's
national broadcaster SABC reports.
The magistrate said the fact that the complainants
"were sprayed on their faces with Doom makes this offence [the] worst of
its kind".
He also revealed some of them had suffered
"detrimental side effects... like coughing for more than seven
months" after the incident.
