No offence to 64-year-old Sibusiso Mthembu, but hearing his story just made me
laugh out loud. Of course, the South African from KwaZulu-Natal tells it in all
seriousness. And who knows, he may even be telling the truth about having visited
heaven four times, so far. The first time was in 1998, and subsequent visits were
made in 2004, 2006 and 2008. It all started in 1993, when a white man (an angel,
apparently) paid him a visit and told him he was needed in heaven. And now, after
several visits, he's drawing a map to make sure the rest of us 'unlucky' ones get
what he's talking about.
See map below:
But it's not the fact that he took a few vacations to heaven or even that he's
drawing a map that amuses me. It's more to do with the stuff he says he's seen
and done there. According to Mthembu, there are 11 heavens in all, and he was
taken to the fifth one, Crista, first. It was there, in a city called Sharmoy, that he
claims to have met Jesus. The main heaven is Salem, he says, where God's
temple is located. God is apparently in his youth, and of a Grayish complexion.
Jesus is white. He saw God for the first time during his second trip, on a planet
called Jadalem that's mostly covered in water and ice.
