Naked couple walks through Blairgowrie, man claims to be "Jesus"
The man said they're on their way to Northcliff, where he would be crowned king.
South Africans were left shocked on Sunday evening after a video showing a man and a woman walking around naked in Blairgowrie was shared on Twitter.
The video was taken by a motorist who also spoke to the pair. During the conversation, the driver asked if they were following a religion, to which the man responded and told the driver that he is "Jesus".

He says: “I’m Jesus. I need a lift to Northcliff so I can become the king. Are you gonna be the first servant? They told me the clothes are real, and I’m born here and I’m wearing this filth. Are we going to Northcliff? Are you saying no to Jesus? Yes, he’s here. And Jesus is black, not white. Are you taking him to Northcliff? This is your last chance.”
After the video emerged, someone tweeted that the woman in the video is a missing family member that had been reported missing a while back. She also appealed for more information regarding the man with the woman and any info that can help the family locate the woman.
Another tweet shed more light on the man's condition, suggesting that he is struggling with drug addiction.
