What a pity!!! Khulu Reinfirst Manyuka (73) AKA Jesus of Zimbabwe has died of malnutrition after he attempted to emulate the 40 days and night fast of Jesus of Nazareth.
Mr Khulu Manyuka reportedly left home on 15 June this year headed to the bush to conduct prayers, redirecting his attention to God, away from things of the earth.
Manyuka was known...
by his family and community at large as a very spiritual person whose faith could move mountains. His death puzzled those dearest to him. A close relative who chose to speak on condition of anonymity broke the news.
“He was a very spiritual man. It’s unfortunate he had to die this way,” said a close relative.
Manyuka was driven to the wilderness by the urge to emulate Christ but sadly he did not equal or break Christ’s record.
“After a month we got the sad news of his death,” added the relative.
Family members said Manyuka had no history of illness.
“He was a healthy and religious old man who did not even look his age,” revealed one family member.
The exact day of his death remains a mystery to both his family and friends as he was alone in the wilderness. His body was found by a stranger who then alerted the police.
The police said Manyuka is not the first to die from fasting — numerous other cases have been reported.
“We have received such reports before, but we cannot stop the public from fasting,” police spokesperson said. SouthAfricaLatestNews.co.za

That's the difference between mortality (jesus) & immortality (Jesus). You can't be human & fast for 40days,without water. It's pure suicide.
I know about faith but this one can't move mountain coz the maker made our body to be so.
Aww, y u tu dey compete wit Jesus
May his soul rip. He died emulating his maker
his is rather unfortunate. However there is no need to work up ourself to gain God approval. Jesus was led by the HolySpirit for that 40 days fasting, so he was sustained and strenghtened because he didnt do it in the energy of the flesh and because he didnt try to do it in the energy of the flesh…..
You can never be too spiritual to think you can tempt God.
RIP khulu manyuka
all these stories about a man who walked on water and feed thousands of people with few loaves of bread and few fish (I cant remember the exact number.i know u christains are always ready to point out my minor mistakes) , dont they sound fictional to u.
how do u know all these things really happened? because the bible said so abi? how do u know the stories in the bible are real? because the white has said it is real, so we must all agree. smh. open ur eyes. its only ignorant people who dont like asking questions. its only fools who dont question the authenticity of a particular thing.
The truth is any attempt to physically be like Christ will be suicidal. We Christ like by pure grace.
hope his poor soul will find rest in Gods bosom. Jesus was not just another regular man,he was divine!
Rest in peace Mr.Khulu Reinfirst Manyuka and may God be merciful unto your soul. Hmmmm it is well.
