Members of the Santa Trindade Evangelical Church together with the family of Francisco Barajah are leftt in tears after Mr Fransico(The founder of Santa Trinidade Evangelical Church) died at a hospital in the city of Beira, where he was evacuated in critical condition.
After 25 days without food or water, he had lost weight to the point where he could not stand up. He was aged 39.
He had been taken to hospital at the insistence of relatives and followers.
Mr Barajah was diagnosed with acute anaemia and failure of his digestive organs.
Doctors attempts of rehydrating him with serums plus an attempt of introducing liquid foods,all proved futile as it was too late with the preacher succumbing to it on Wednesday.
The pastor was also a French teacher in the town of Messica in the central province of Manica, bordering Zimbabwe.
Members of the Santa Trindade Church said it was common for the pastor and his followers to fast, but not for that long.
His brother Marques Manuel Barajah said the pastor had fasted, but he challenged the medical diagnosis about his death. “The truth is that my brother suffered from low blood pressure,” he said.
