Pastors blast Yiga in death, advise his children to be different
October 28, 2020
https://www.independent.co.ug/pastors-blast-yiga-in-death-advise-his-children-to-be-different/
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Departing from the Ugandan tradition of not talking ill of the dead, several prominent pastors have given negative reactions against Pastor Augustine Yiga and his legacy in the Pentecostal faith. Many have described his pastoral time as full of vengeance while others say he was never a pastor but a theatrical performer and just a businessman.
Yiga of the Revival Church in Kawaala, was confirmed dead today morning by his ABS TV. Having lived and operated a controversial pastoral life Yiga nicknamed himself Abizaayo to mean that he was good at helping to return people’s problems back to whoever ‘sent’ them into their lives.
Many of his followers have today flocked his church to join other mourners and family. His son Andrew Jjengo took to the media to deny previous reports of his death which had been circulating on social media over the course of last week.
One of Yiga’s longtime adversaries pastor Jackson Ssenyonga of Christian Life church alleges that Yiga was always engaged in acts which not only tarnished his name and image, but also that of image of the church especially the born again faith.
This while addressing journalists at his church in Bwaise adding that Yiga represented the big number of False prophets as proclaimed by Jesus Christ in the Holly Bible. He offered to take care of some of the many alleged children of the deceased.
Light house Church’s Pastor Wilson Bugembe who was also not in good books with the fallen pastor, told URN that although he totally agrees with Ssenyonga’s allegations and he believes that Yiga ought to have changed his way of doing things before he died.
Bugembe advised Yiga’s children and followers to avoid continuing with their father/pastor’s legacy of having many enemies, but work hard to revive his church and use it to serve God.
Pastor Micheal Kyazze of the Omega Healing center- Zzana described the late as a passionate and cunning individual.
Kyazze however reiterated his colleagues’ unkind words to the late, noting that Yiga was a self-centered character who never took any advice and although as pastors they tried to derail him from wrong doings, his death came before their success in that effort.
The National Pastor’s platform of Uganda represented by their President Bishop David Kiganda told URN that Yiga’s infamous slogan of Mbizaayo greatly affected and derailed many believers from the true doctrines of Jesus’ teachings.
He said while they mourn with his family and friends, they can’t hide the fact that he distanced himself from any advice towards his mode of operation and hence his legacy will forever remain dented.
Yiga’s family is still silent about his burial arrangements.
It has been five months since Yiga was freed on Court Bail following his arrest for allegedly voicing false information in about the coronavirus (COVID-19).
He was released by the Rubaga Grade One Magistrate, Timothy Lumunye on non-cash bail of Shs2 million while each of his two sureties were bonded at Shs5 million.

Pastors speak out on Yiga controversial ministry

Added 28th October 2020 08:50 PM
The news of his death started circulating last week, before the family dismissed the rumours
Whereas most religious leaders preach forgiveness, Pastor Augustine Yiga chose a controversial line, building his ministry on retribution.
This earned him the moniker Abizzaayo, literally meaning the one who casts people's bad omens back to the source/sender.
No wonder when the news of Yiga's death started circulating yesterday early morning, his Christian Revival Church in Kawaala, a Kampala suburb, was filled with mourners who did not mind about requirements of social distancing and wearing of masks to avoid spread of COVID-19.
Margaret Nakisozi, one of Yiga's followers, said she first saw him in 2004 in a Kiwuunya, a slum in Nakulabye, Rubaga division.
"He has been a kind person who mentored us. I know that I was older than him but he took me in as a child and I called him daddy," Nakisozi said.
Yiga's business partner, Richard Kimbowa, said he had known him for the last five years. Kimbowa said ever since Yiga left prison in March over his reckless statements in regards to COVID-19, his health deteriorated.Mourners had filled up the church by around 9:30am and security personnel had been deployed.
"We are here to maintain law and order and ensure that people are observing the standard operating procedures to prevent the spread of COVID-19," Steven Kiirya, the officer in charge of Kawaala Police Station, said.
The news of Yiga's death started circulating last week, before the family dismissed the rumours.
In a Facebook post by the church, Yiga breathed his last on Monday night at St Francis Hospital Nsambya, where he has been hospitalised for several weeks.
In Africa, it is taboo to talk ill about the deceased. However, the death of Pastor Yiga did not bar some pastors from speaking about the negative side of Yiga.
Pastor Michael Kyazze, Omega Healing Centre
He was a sign of illiterate success, uncultured, ungroomed and unprepared leader. But he was zealous, gifted and creative. He would have done better if he had a mentor. We hoped that at a certain time, his life would change, but it has not been possible. We shall miss him.
Prof. Simeon Kayiwa, Namirembe Christian Fellowship
He was once at Namirembe Fellowship in the early days of his church, I cannot deny him, but I disassociate myself from his lifestyle and his preaching. He picked his terminology of Abizzaayo from a miracle that I performed in Hoima. I healed some lady who had been duped by a witchdoctor for a long time. The witchdoctor promised to kill me after seven days and on the 7th day, it is the witchdoctor who died instead. Since then, Yiga started using the word Abizzaayo. He was self-styled, self-motivated and young.
Pastor Frank Kyeyune, Agape Church Kawaala
I have known Pastor Yiga for almost my entire life. But we separated after calling himself ‘Pastor Abizzaayo' which did not look good to us in the Christianity faith. Yiga's health started changing since he came from South Africa, where he had also established another church.
Pastor Jackson Ssenyonga, Life Christian Church Bwaise
Ssenyonga accused Yiga of unbecoming behaviour not fit for a religious leader. "I am not saying these words because I hate him, but I want to open people's eyes that there are fake pastors in Uganda. I tried to access him when he was sick to see that he gives his life to Christ, but it was not possible.," Ssenyonga said.
