One of the Tanzanian powerful pastors has passed on.
Pastor Peter Mitimingi of Warehouse Christian Centre (WCC) passed on Sunday afternoon at Muhimbili National Hospital in Tanzania.
Pastor Peter Mitimingi is a celebrated preacher known for his wonderful teachings on several topics, ranging from dating, marriage among others.
One of his recent messages shared on his social media platforms was a COVID-19 message, where he urged Tanzanian leaders, political and religious leaders, to give a message of hope amid the deadly diseases and not planting a seed of fear among the citizens.
In a video he shared on Instagram on 28 April, he urged leaders to preach hope and believe in God for COVID-19 to end.
"I want to urge the leaders, all the leaders, that we focus on teaching Tanzanians about this COVID-19. I have realized some leaders are scaring Tanzanians, the biggest task of a leader is to show hope, showing how secure our people are.
"We should always give hope regardless of the situation because we believe in God and He is going to end this COVID-19," said the preacher.
Sources close to the deceased say the preacher had diabetes. The sources added that he was rained on while in Arusha which resulted in pneumonia and eventually death.
“Yeye alikuwa anaumwa Sukari ilipanda, ikaanza homa ya mapafu kwasababu alikuwa Arusha akapigwa na mvua kukawa na baridi kali hiyo hali ikamsumbua na kupelekea kufariki “ said junior preacher at the same church, Samweli, who spoke to Millard Ayo TV, which loosely translates to (He was suffering from diabetes, he was then rained on while in Arusha which led to pneumonia and then he died|)
However, until writing this, a medical report on his death is not yet shared with the public.
It should be noted that COVID-19 and pneumonia have got similar signs. Doctors across the world have been treating pneumonia only for them to realize the disease was COVID-19.
This happened at Kenyatta National Hospital where a 2 -year-old baby boy was being treated for pneumonia only for doctors to realize it was COVID-19 after his death.
