She is not the only pastor who has criticised the movie, as Kenyan preacher Pastor T also had a problem and critiqued social media bias surrounding the Netflix series.
He highlighted the lack of judgment towards women involved with the cheating protagonist Jonasi Pastor T in his lengthy sermon, arguing that men face harsher scrutiny for infidelity than women do in today’s society
How did netizens react to her sentiments?
Hephzibah Zibah Motaung:
“As a spiritual leader, Prophet Noma Mzobe is doing her congregation a great service by warning them about the dangers of certain TV shows that can lead them astray. The mind is the devil’s battle field and if you’re weak it’s easily opening the door for him.”
