Miracle worker’s water helps ‘Idris Elba’ start great businesses in SA

If you thought you had seen it all in South Africa, think again. There is an advertisement circulating on Twitter of a supposed testimony from Idris Elba claiming to have been helped by a Dr Saleh start a big supermarket and a taxi business. The ad uses his picture and explains how he used “Dr Saleh’s miracle water” to sort out his financial problems.

Here we were thinking Elba was a British actor in line to be the first black James Bond, but no, he is in fact a taxi and supermarket owner in South Africa.

Either that, or he has a twin brother here who is. Perhaps he needs to explain.

The testimony reads:

“I was working, but I could not save any money because of my debts. My life changed when DR Saleh and Mama came to my house. He gave me a miracle water that costed R600 and he told me to wash myself and my family with it. Dr Saleh told me to start a small family business of my own and in only one year, I managed to raise enough money to start up a big supermarket. Presently I am owning about 5 taxis, have my own big house fully paid. Now I live a stress free life with my family and all my kids are in good schools [sic].”
