By Jane Mlambo| Controversial socialite Panganai Java better known as Prophet Passion has lifted the lid on his upbringing saying he was very dull that he could not secure a secondary school place at boarding schools due to poor grades.

Java who was speaking on the issue surrounding his brother Simba Java who made a desperate call for support from well-wishers to return to Zimbabwe from South Africa, said he was the least intelligent in their family resulting in him failing to enrol even at Seke 1 High school while his all his siblings attended boarding schools.

The controversial Java however said he was good with figures to do with money.

“Inini ndini dofo rekupedzesera mumba medu, kwete mukufoira hupenyu, kufoira muchikoro, inini kuchikoro ndaivharwa, vakaenda neni kuchikoro vanotondiziva, ndaibuda ndiri number 29 mu class kana ma report abuda, mukaenda ku Seke 6 primary munotonoona ma reports iwawo, ndaivharwa kutoomerwa, chandaingoziva ndechekuti $5 iyi ikapihwa vanhu 10 imarii, ndaikurovera in 2 seconds, ndaikuti haa $50 mukuru, but ukanditi 10 times 5 ndaivharwa, saka zvekuchikoro I will never lie to you guys, zvanga zvakaoma

“Inini ndaitoda kuenda ku boarding but ndakatadza because ndanga ndatovharwa, kana pa Seke 1 ndakatadza ku qualifier ndakatozoenda ku Seke 2 kwainzi kwemadofo,” said Passion.

Passion has come under fire from people who accused him of flaunting riches on social media while his own blood brother Simba had to turn to the public for help.

The controversial preacher has been running a series of online live shows dubbed Gara Mumba Iwe where he pays artists to perform in front of cameras for online audience.
