The pastor, Tito Watts, along with his wife Amanda promoted and sold
$500 “golden tickets”, claiming that were made of pure gold and would
get their owner directly into heaven without fearing judgement.
According to Zimbabwean media the pastor convinced people that Jesus
had miraculously appeared to him to personally hand down the tickets,
which would guarantee anyone, including sinners, could be spared from
hell.
“Jesus Christ appeared to me and gave me the tickets made of pure
gold so that I can sell to people who want salvation”, Watts said as he
pleaded for his innocence and claimed persecution.
The pastor proved popular with his followers, as thousands of them
took to the street demanding he be freed. The pastor’s wife Amanda
meanwhile denied any charges, saying that she was not directly involved
in the scam as she only watched her husband sell the tickets.
Earlier another Zimbabwean pastor, Paul Sanyangore, claimed to have direct phone access heaven and personal contact with god.
