A MANDENI, KwaZulu-Natal, resident is drawing huge crowds to his home after claiming that he has been to heaven four times and has drawn a map of it on a wall.
The self-proclaimed prophet, 64-year-old Sibusiso Mthembu, says there are 11 heavens, each of which he has visited, with his first heavenly journey having taken place in December 1998.
A visitor who had known Mthembu for a long time said: “I don’t know whether to believe this or not. I think it’s about one’s religion or belief. Some people are convinced that it’s a true map, while others are not.”
Another laughed when Sowetan asked about the map.
Mthembu claims his other three journeys took place in 2004, 2006 and the last was in 2008. On his return, he drew a map of heaven and its residents.
He claimed that on December 22 1993, a white man arrived at his home and told him that he was needed in heaven.
“An angel, whom I later realised was Gabriel, who was in his early 20s, appeared at my house and led me by the hand to the Mandeni River where he baptised me and he returned to heaven,” Mthembu claimed.
Mthembu said the same angel arrived in 1998 and this time took him along to heaven.
“I was then taken to the fifth heaven, called Crista, where I met Jesus in a city called Sharomy.
“There was also Silvertus-devil’s angel there,” claimed Mthembu.
Mthembu said though there were 11 heavens, the main one was Salem, where God’s temple was.
“Jesus is white and God is greyish in complexion. God is in his youth.”
He claims he met God during his second journey in 2004.
“I met him at Jadalem, a planet mostly covered in water and ice.”
During his other journeys, Mthembu claims to have seen Moses, Abel and others.
“I heard their conversations, experienced the singing and the smell.
“I explored the Marshnode City – the first place that people go to when they die and their spirits get reincarnated, Wespole City and also saw Jesus, Moses, Eliya, a prophet – not Elijah, and Abel,” he claimed.
Mthembu says his journey has raised questions about his faith in God and the truth of life.
“All I can say is that I believe in the God of the universe and that no one can figure out the great truth of life until we finally unite in eternity at death,” he said.
Mthembu said those people who predicted the end of the world in May last year were correct.
“Actually, what was happening on that day is that there was a big meeting in heaven, called Il-Banta to discuss the biggest war to fight Satanism,” he said.
“The prophet says that God’s single day is equivalent to 891 years, so May 23 was the beginning of the count-down to the end of the world.”
He said he would like to see the map being printed for the whole world to see.
“People must come and see the map as one day someone from Japan or China or Britain will design a map of heaven and the people of South Africa will have forgotten that the map was originally made in South Africa.”
Apart from the map of heaven, Mthembu has written several books documenting his heavenly experiences.

There are elements of truths in this man. Salem is our current name Jerusalem, Silvertus the eveil one, Jadalem, Marshnode City, Il Banta are all terms found in historical biblical times. This is how mohammad came up with his Koranic writings being followed by Muslims in the world. Mohammad was exposed to judaism worship and used to go to Jerusalem with his uncle and when he was under attack of epilepsy(he had this cindition)in his trance experienced revellations as Munthembu has been. Mohammad devine experience was based on the Old Testament he was used to as a proserite. Its for this reason the bulk of the Koran writings is from the Old Testament and Arabic traditions. Munthembu has been exposed to religion experience and does have something to say about his experience. Lets not dismiss it outright.
This counterfeit prophet uyu smokes weed.let him go there again with a news crew so that he can make meanful news…
@Man.s chachine wachipumputu.Any way @man.S and @3Mani you hav made my day i hav had a good laugh coz of your comments.The truth is NO ONE CAN SEE GOD AND LIVE jst Like snr Pastor has stated.
Mupono wako Mtembu who re u to see God in gray colour?
Stanyoko uyu…hehehehe
This is interesting – many Christians believe in the book of Revelation which is the last book in the New Testament. But when you read that book attentively, you get the impression John the writer of that book experienced something similar to what this Prophet is experiencing. John seem to have been having serious nightmare – or he suffered from some kind of mental illness to describe the things he describes in the book of revelation. Interestingly, Christians believe it to be an authentic inspired book – a message from God. Is it because John was not an African?
is a fool..
unfortunately…this does not fall in line with the word. he should try another religion maybe they will believe….No one sees God and lives. even to Moses…God had to appear as a burning bush.
@ Mwandini m original zambian,u guys have data.who knows bt him n God.the man may have seen heaven for sure.we can never ever find reason of God’s reason.Our thoughts n ideas can never match up to his.
Pipo these are the last days.haven’t u read the word of Life?”they will come false prophets….”and these have come and we seeing them with our own eyes.
When God ordered the Man to make the boat some people thought that the Man was mad, the rest you all know, may the Lord show you way.
Correction no one sees the face of God and lives.Moses saw Gods back and when God appeared on mount Sinai for the book of covenant the elders saw God’s feet. The obviouis thing is that this guy is lying. Christ said no one knows when the son shall return except the father. After Christ returns then the end will come. So to say in 891 days the world will end is not according to God’s word. I would encourage him to repent.
Pwahahahahaha!! MBANJE! This man is not ok. Sharomy is a russian military air base! God is a youth and has a greyish complexion. kekekekekeke its sad he is a comedian who hasnt been found till now.
we are going to see and hear things that will make us think twice about what we believe but hold steady for in the last days……………
he is mad, he went to hell instead and saw satan with his own eyes,because satan is able to turn himself into an angel of light……no one can see God and be alive…………………
he was in hell
zoona alichula alefwaya ichalo ukupwa!!!!
give him some money he will forget this!!!!
i pity this man. He is among they that r fulfiling prophesy. x-:
Feelingi ni mbama
Nachipenta na ma crayons kwati chilewamya. Wateva u smoked i’ll have 2 of that please!
Who told u there will be colours and races in heaven? U are grey too next time u’ll be claiming to be Jesus’s uncle
When you see all these things come to pass,the Bible says look up for your redemption draweth nigh…Jesus is about to come,the king of the universe is about to rescue His children..we are soon to be home.
False prophets shall arise in the last days
IBANGE MAMBALA
NEXT TIME YOU VISIT HEAVEN PLEASE CARRY THE DIGITAL CAMERA AND POST THE PICS ON TUMFWEKO.
The sad thing is that there are some idiots here who want to discredit a person based on a book that was written thousands of years ago by God knows who and you want to put scorn on a man who may or may have not had a heavenly experience. God does not subscribe to your mindset because his is unfathomable. What makes you idiots @Nadimo, @Sebente and @snr pastor think God cannot reveal himself to whoever he chooses? Get the fuck out of here. Away with your brainwash. Be more open minded ba kembo.
keep telling so that we know wat goes on!
Pipo do not b carried away by these thingz,they ar false.just knw were u stand. 1john 2:18.ifwalembwa filemoneka.

Day dreaming ichilibolo chikala.
CHANSONI SANA!
GOD BLESS OUR LAND.
Lets not judge him,If we think that this old man is imaging things,let’s leave it to the almighty’s will to prevail.
