Josephat Gwajima, a Tanzanian pastor who mocked Kenya and Rwanda over Covid-19 cases was made to swallow his own words after his country recorded 53 new cases on Friday, April 17.

The pastor noted the spike in the two countries was due to the nations enforcing strict rules to battle Covid-19 which included banning church gatherings.

Speaking at a church service that was attended by a multitude, Gwajima mocked Rwanda and Kenya, "Rwanda closed and made it illegal to go to churches but we now have 83 cases in Rwanda.

"Corona decided to act on them because they were not going to church. Kenya also closed its churches but has 113 cases with three already dead."

The pastor also made baseless claims that Kenya had no patients who had recovered from the deadly virus while by the time the country's cases was hitting 110, two recoveries had been recorded.

"They are being tested but there are no healings there because they are not going to church, what stupidity is that? Here in Tanzania, we have had only 20 cases and the only victim died because he had other complications."

The preacher was made to swallow his own words after mocking the two countries following Tanzania recording 53 new positive cases on Friday, April 17.

The 53 made it the highest number reported on a single day in the entire East African region since the pandemic struck this neck of the woods.

In total, the country's cases jumped from 94 to 147 meaning it was now second to Kenya which recorded 246 as at Friday, April 17. 

On Sunday, March 22, Tanzania President John Magufuli announced that places of worship would not be closed in light of the Covid-19 outbreak.

"These Holy places are where God is. My fellow Tanzanians, let us not be afraid of going to praise Him. Corona cannot survive in the body of Christ, it will burn. That is exactly why I did not panic while taking the Holy Communion."

Magufuli on Thursday, April 16 announced three days of prayer for the nation to seek divine intervention to enable the country to overcome Covid-19.
