Zimbabwean prophet charged in court over child labor

[AFRICANEWS] A man calling himself Prophet Ishmael was charged in a Zimbabwean court Thursday, after police raided the compound where he led a religious sect and found more than 250 children being kept away from school and used as cheap labor.
And he never saw that coming? Not much of prophet.
Police also discovered 16 unregistered graves, including those of seven infants, at the farm about 34 kilometres (21 miles) northwest of the capital, Harare.

Ishmael Chokurongerwa and seven of his aides were charged with exploiting children and denying them access to education and health services. Police spokesman Paul Nyathi said investigations were still ongoing and authorities may press more charges.

#2 J-----, always fond of a jest,
Just could not let that prophet thing rest.
"I shall go in the night...
Ishmael! Bro, recite!"
"Mumbo jumbo!"
"This joke is the best!"
Though M------- was not so impressed,
Nor yet A---- the ~~Humourless~~ Blest.
