Later last year, EastRand born Rapper Reason released a single called Reasus Christ, this was after he released on social media a picture popularly knows as that of Jesus with shades and nudes on his shoulders. The rapper received many criticism on social media but later debated that how sure are people that the picture he used was that of Jesus? In the track he goes further suggesting that the Jesus depiction was fed by white led media to the masses with special target being the African Masses. Little did the rapper know that he will influence the formation of a new "religion" known as the Reasus Cult.The Reasus Cult originates from Pretoria and it is currently growing there, its members hope that they will influence other regions of the country. The cult claims to have created their own Character to worship, they say this is better than worshiping na western character. The Cult leader who calls herself Queen Lerasus says that the cult does not align it self to Reason or his song, they have just took the picture reason used and made it their character, nothing more than that, it is the same with the Christians taking the picture by DaVinci and using it for their religion., the Leader said. "We are basically the new age movement, a movement created by young South Africans as part of claiming their identity and getting rid of western influence" said one of the followers.
The cult currently consist of only 30 members, dominated by females who make up 17 of the 30, key positions like Priest, Bishop, and Secretary are held by females between the ages of 23 and 38, the oldest being the Priest( Queen Lerasus). The group carry the large depiction of their Reasus every where they go and most of the time they gather in the caves. They do not allow people who are not members to worship with them. There is no initiation process involved and the cult claims to insist their members must observe African Traditional practices and always pray to Jesus when they wake up and when they sleep....what a contradiction.Local pastor of Pretoria's largest Christian Church says he is not shocked by this movement, he said this are the end of times and false religions and prophets are part of this times. He said how are young people supposed to go to the christian church while pastors claming to be Men of God feed snakes to people are do insane things. "This is the result of the madness that people who are supposed to shed light to the people do.
