Social media was in pieces after a video of the infamous Pastor Alph Lukau resurrected a dead man using his ‘supernatural powers’ on Sunday in Johannesburg.
In the video, a man named Elliot is seen lying in a coffin, dressed in a white suit and surrounded by his supposedly inconsolable family who claim he had been dead for three days.
A woman, who is said to be his landlord, said that the man started coughing on Friday and died in her arms.
Many have taken up to twitter to condemn the man of God as a fraud claiming that the deceased was clearly alive and that the whole thing was staged. Some reacted by starting the Resurrection Challenge by posting a video of a man imitating the resurrection.
Here are some of their tweets:

What are churches, particularly in Southern Africa, turning to? I saw another video of a pastor claiming he was making a direct phone call to heaven and was speaking with God Himself.— ???????? (@AchileEbikwo)February 25, 2019
The South African government needs to regulate this type of comedy!

Can theses ‘pastors’ at least pay 4 good quality actors? They owe is that much, at least.
How do people have the audacity to scream ‘Jesus!’ During these evil acts? Shame on the congregants.— Uncle-Al (@AlistairSibiya2)February 25, 2019
The coloured woman on the right is scandalous. How did she suddenly become part of the church from being a landlord??
