The 24-year-old self-styled prophet reportedly fed followers the slithery serpents while others looked on wincing.
Mnguni has been linked with controversial African pastor Lesego Daniel - who convinced his parish to eat grass and drink petrol last year.
He was released on bail while local courts decide on a date for his next appearance.
There were no conditions set for the pastor's bail.
Mishack Matlou, from a local animal rights group, said he was worried by the lack of conditions in the bond - because Mnguni reportedly fed his congregants rats.
He said: "When a child sees someone eating a snake, they will be traumatised."
Since the incident Mnguni's church has posted other bizarre pictures showing him riding a follower's back like a horse.
He also posted the text of a sermon on the church's Facebook page in a rant against his critics.
It said: "When you speak against me you curse the ground you walk upon.
"When I sleep angels are ascending upon me day and night, those angels are not from heaven, and they are from me because I command them."
