Own Correspondent|Opposition MDC leader Nelson Chamisa has sensationally claimed that Jesus Christ appeared to him and assured him that he will soon be the President of Zimbabwe.

Addressing a gathering at the memorial ceremony of Vimbai-Tsvangirai Java in Harare on Saturday, Chamisa said that it is only a matter of time before Jesus Christ completes his promise.

“The Lord has spoken to me lately that one day I will lead this country. I do not know when or how this will happen but he has spoken to me over this issue,” said Chamisa who is himself a pastor.

The opposition leader said he was not as power hungry as his rival and President Emmerson Mnangagwa who he accused of depending on witch doctors to remain in power.

Tsvangirai-Java died in June this year in a horrific Kwekwe car crash that also claimed the lives of two other MDC members on their way from a caucus meeting in Bulawayo.
