Oom Paul's got to go
2004-08-05 16:30
Bloemfontein - The family of Paul Meintjes of Hertzogville, whose resurrection was predicted by a "prophet" after his death about five weeks ago, has not yet made arrangements to remove the body from the town's mortuary, mortician Nico Foulds said on Thursday.
Foulds said he gave the family until the end of Thursday to remove the remains and pay the bill of R9 000.
Meintjies's body had been kept frozen in the town's mortuary since July 1 after a family prophet had predicted that he would rise from the death.
The family has been waiting ever since, but nothing has happened.
It is not clear what the Meintjes family is planning to do now.
