A prominent city preacher, Pastor T Mwangi, has strongly condemned the Summertides Festival in Malindi, alleging it was a front for a "sperm harvesting" operation linked to cultic activities.

• Pastor T Mwangi claims the festival involved systematic collection of used condoms for ritualistic purposes.
• The preacher linked the event to over six tragic deaths and rampant drug use among attendees.
• He joined other clergy members in a spiritual cleansing ceremony at Malindi's Lost Beach following the festival.
