BBC News Africa reports that Barajah was the founder of the Santa Trindade Evangelical Church situated in the central province of Manica.

His demise was confirmed on Wednesday, and he had been receiving medical attention at a hospital in Beira after being evacuated in a critical state.

During the fast, Barajah lost an immense amount of weight, which led to him being unable to stand, bathe, or walk.

After fasting for 25 days, he was taken to the hospital following the insistence of relatives and followers. However, all attempts to restore his health were unsuccessful, and he ultimately passed away.

Given the extreme weight loss and physical deterioration he had undergone in recent days, members of his church and neighbors were not surprised by the tragic turn of events.
