A self-proclaimed Rundu-based prophet, Jafet Johannes made his second appearance in the Rundu Magistrate's Court and was denied bail.  Johannes faces a case of fraud.

Jafet Johannes' arrest came after an alleged victim opened a case against him claiming that the self-proclaimed prophet created a blockchain account, inviting the victim to buy the cryptocurrency, known as Trongrace.

It is alleged that the victim invested an amount of more than N$280,000, which he expected would be paid back with interest.

Johannes was denied bail as the court fears he might interfere with police investigations. 
 
His case has been postponed to 29 of this month for bail application. 

Some of the public members who turned up at the court held posters demanding that Johannes be denied bail.

The 32-year-old self-proclaimed prophet is being represented by Kadhila Amoomo Legal Practitioners.
