The employers of the Zimbabwean man who was ‘resurrected’
by Pastor Alph Lukau have spoken out saying they are baffled by his antics.
The man has been identified by Eyewitness News as Brighton
(29) who works at timber a company in Pretoria.
The company, Vincent Amoretti PTY LTD, said on Tuesday the
last time they saw Brighton was 19 February, when he arrived late for work. He
had gone to a funeral over the weekend of 16 and 17 February, and he told his
colleagues he was late on Tuesday as church elders asked him to stay a day
longer.
Brighton has not been at work since last Tuesday and his
absence, is being treated as absent with leave.
Vincent, who said he's the owner of Vincent Amoretti PTY
LTD and employer of Brighton, told listeners of 702’s Azania Mosaka that this was not the first time Brighton was
involved with Pastor Lukau. Brighton helped the pastor by pretending to be
wheelchair-bound and then standing up after Lukau prayed for him.
His employer described Brighton as an intelligent man. “Can
you imagine what a life he’s had? He’s worked for me, he died, he was
resurrected and now he’s been arrested,” said Vincent on the show.
The Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the
Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities on Monday said it
would be investigating the incident in which the Johannesburg pastor was
captured on camera resurrecting the man from a coffin.
"As a commission, we need to get to the root of this.
Unless we do that, South Africans are taken for a ride and their intelligence
is insulted," said the commission's deputy chair David Mosoma.
