By Own Correspondent| Prophet Walter Magaya has apologised for skipping government as the regulatory authority in his announcement about his purported HIV medicine which he claimed cured both HIV and cancer.

Magaya, who is the PHD ministries leader said this at a joint press statement with the ministry of Health and Child Care held in Harare on Thursday.

He said he regrets prematurely announcing the “cure” when the regulatory authorities had not “scrutinised and certified it”.

Said Magaya:

“I spoke before I looked into authorities regulations. For me to come and apologise, it is a sign of regret that I rushed the announcement.

When I discovered what I discovered which was tested in India, I was holding a report which I overwhelmingly went on and announced what I was carrying in my hands without taking note of the authorities of Zimbabwe.

I have however learnt that the authorities of Zimbabwe and all the regulatory authorities were supposed to scrutinise, analyse and be satisfied with what I was holding before I prematurely announced.

The apology that I carry is an apology of saying we rushed to announce what we were carrying without the authorities analysing it but at the same time, I want to salute the Ministry (Health) which has handled me like a child and showed me what I should have done.

The reason why I rushed to make the announcement was because of excitement of what I was holding, the excitement which overwhelmed me.”
