A South African pastor who claimed he snapped a selfie of himself in heaven is unable to share the evidence after his camera phone went missing.

Pastor Mboro says that he was lifted into heaven by a beam of light which shone down on him

midway through an Easter Sunday service in Johannesburg.

A Facebook account belonging to the televangelist and self-proclaimed prophet claimed that he met Jesus’s wife – a member of the African Xhosa people – and even claimed to have taken snapshots of Paradise using his Samsung smartphone.

A spokesperson for the pastor confirmed his visit and announced that unbelievers could see the celestial selfies by wiring 5,000 Rand (£230) to Mboro’s Incredible Happenings church.

After social media users ridiculed the pastor – real name Paseka Motsoeneng – he agreed to reveal the image on Facebook, but before the pictures could be posted, the phone mysteriously went missing. One of his bodyguards claimed that it was stolen at a car wash.

“The pictures were really there, I saw them. We suspect one of the boys washing the Prophet’s car took the phone. But they all denied taking it, even after we threatened them,” he told South African news website ENCA.

“All those who have deposited money will be refunded.”
