42-year-old pastor Douglas Dlamini from Daantjie Trust outside Mbombela, Mpumalanga, South Africa, has turned to cross-dressing to warn men against spending their family income on prostitutes.
He also uses his music to spread his monogamy message to people living around the capital city.
“My dress code attracts a lot of attention to what I have to say. It has been very effective because people are able to listen and learn something.
“I am of the view that prostitution should never be legalised because it splits families, spreads sexually transmitted diseases, increases poverty and encourages the rape of street kids and homeless people,” said Dlamini, during a recent sermon in Mbombela.
Dlamini, who has been singing since 2004, said many men who have sex with prostitutes have reported being robbed.
The pastor admits that he got help with his marketing strategy.
“A white man from Jo’burg listened to my song about a mini skirt and advised me to wear a mini skirt myself in order to attract viewers. He did a video of me singing in a mini skirt and people started enjoying my message. I have never looked back,” said the married father of four.
However, Dlamini said he would never be caught dead wearing his mini skirt at church.
“Some of the congregants might feel uncomfortable, so I only dress like this when I go on my evangelical missions,” he said.
