THE wife of popular Nigerian prophet Temitope Balogun "TB" Joshua, Evelyn has reportedly donated $2000 to the family of the Bulawayo woman who died during the collapse of a hostel owned by her husband Temitope Balogun in Lagos early this month.
According to impeccable sources she visited the family on Friday last week to pay tribute and assist with funeral arrangements for Sisenkosi Ngwenya who was among approximately 115 who are estimated to have perished in the Lagos tragedy.
"The wife of TB Joshua came on Friday and gave the bereaved family $2 000 towards funeral expenses. You can find out more from the family," a daily paper reported today although the bereaved family declined to disclose any details about the prophetess' visit. A family spokesperson, Caroline Vundundu, said they were just working out some issues pertaining to their family.
"Who told you that there is a funeral gathering here? You lie a lot you people; we are not prepared to talk to you. Next time you come here l will pour boiling water on you," Vundundu threatened.
Other confirmed Zimbabweans who died after the six-storey building collapsed include another woman identified as Jane Sibanda of Entumbane and MDC-T acting provincial chairperson for Mashonanaland West, Greenwich Ndanga.
According to the MDC-T, Ndanga's body was in South Africa awaiting repatriation back home for burial.
Evelyn reportedly left the country on Saturday.
The number of Zimbabweans who travelled to Lagos on the fateful week remains unknown.
Hundreds of Zimbabweans troop to Nigeria every week to attend Scoan services.
TB Joshua has announced that he will visit South Africa every month to meet families of the victims, but it is unclear if he will also visit Zimbabwe.
