BY DR MASIMBA MAVAZA |Apostle Talent Chiwenga is a controversial street preacher who has a strong belief that he is the only one correct and everyone else is wrong. He believes that he is the mouth piece of God and that his word comes from God at least that is what his followers to believe. He is known to have a passion for insulting anyone and everyone. He lacks diplomacy and is known for rebuking church members in church while he is beaming their photos on the screen.
Those who have listened to his preaching do accept that he is knowledgeable of bible passages but he misses a lot on interpretation. Apostle Chiwenga has unexplainable obsession with Vice President Chiwenga, his own cousin brother. He does not mince his words and he will insult the vice president at any time he gets to do so. He again has become a renowned enemy of another Emmanuel Makandiwa. Talent Chiwenga’s beef with prophet Makandiwa is not known. Chiwenga hates Makandiwa with a passion.
Talent Chiwenga has become blubber who pukes vitriol on any politician and any person for no reason. He now is in a serious belief that everybody is against his life. He lives in a fear and he is always running away from his shadow. But Chiwenga has become so notorious that he has to do anything to be famous.
Last year Chiwenga while coming from South Africa was involved in a car accident where he killed his wife and two church members. Talent Chiwenga drove while he was sleepy tired and in his own words he was over speeding. In his ever righteous mentality Chiwenga claimed that he was set up by the CIO and that they wanted to kill him. He claimed further that they are the ones who caused his accident.
Up to this day Chiwenga has refused to be a man of God and take responsibility of his mistakes. He has been seeing shadows and he killed his wife in this accident and obviously blamed CIO.
Many people who commented on this believed that Chiwenga is a member of a cult which needs blood from him so that he can be rich and famous. This explains why Chiwenga with all helpers around him chose to go and drive himself to South Africa to receive some supernatural powers. his form of powers needs him to spill the blood with his own hands. His first blood was that of his wife and the others were collateral damage.
In 2020 in July Chiwenga again was involved in another car accident, which he admits in a video posted on You Tube that he deliberately opted to have a head on even though he could have avoided the accident. He admitted having decided to go for the car instead of pulling off the road or change a lane. He actually took pride in killing the occupants of the other car and he indeed insisted that he will not offer any apology. He tried to cover up his underworld activities by blaming ZANU PF. he dedicated an hour in his video to insult Masimba Mavaza whom he blamed for writing about him. This was the other blood he spilled in less than a year. Whose blood is he gunning for next and blame the CIO again for his callous shenanigans.
One psychiatrist Dr M Patel from the United Kingdom described the behaviour of Chiwenga as narcissistic.Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a long-term, mental health condition. NPD causes you to think that you are more important than other people. You need to be the centre of attention and to be admired by others. You want to control the people and events in your life. It is hard for you to stop your behaviours, even when you hurt others. You have trouble asking for help and trusting other people. These thoughts and behaviours cause problems with your relationships and daily activities. As a result you believe that you are always right and everybody is after your life. The exact cause of NPD is not known. NPD commonly occurs in early adulthood. NPD may develop if you did not have a secure relationship with your parents, or if that security was disrupted. Without secure attachment, you may not have learned how to respond appropriately to events and emotions. Chiwenga has never talked about his parents even one day; he only attacks his cousin brother who is the vice president of Zimbabwe.
Because Chiwenga has a mental disorder he sees his brother as a threat to him. He is not happy that his brother is being celebrated and this makes him feel challenged. He then goes against his brother and anyone whom he thinks that is doing better than him.
Not only is he angry with his brother, he is angry with anyone above him. He sees himself as the spokesperson of God. He wants to personalise God and that’s why he claims that his words are directly coming from God.
Chiwenga has shown signs of mental health which are
- Feeling of uniqueness and superiority
- Extremely high sense of self-importance and a desire for high status
- Preoccupation with beauty, power, or success
- Requiring extreme admiration and envy
- Sense of entitlement
- Lack of caring for others
- Arrogance or egotistical behaviour.
Chiwenga is a person who thinks he’s always right, even if he is not. He has exhibited high signs of arrogance and he believes that he is hated or despised by many people.
The actual point is Talent Chiwenga is a know-it-all a smarty-pants or what is called smart aleck he is an egotistical lost preacher. Talent Chiwenga is someone who thinks is always right but is, in fact, not right is often described as being cocksure. He is completely confident in his own ability or knowledge but with no justification. He thinks God was only found by him seven years ago.
The suspicion is that Chiwenga is deep is spiritualism which is a system of belief or religious practice based on supposed communication with the spirits of the dead, especially through him. He has to shed blood for his powers to be recognised and he covers it all up by claiming that God has sent him. His church may be built on the blood of his wife not that of Jesus.
As a church leader he was supposed to be a strong but compassionate and wise leader. Recognition of the spiritual dimension of the human experience broadens the avenues of compassionate medical care and is not limited by culture or religion so the lack of compassion by Chiwenga and his love to insult shows that he is the son of the devil pretending to be working for God. If you describe someone or something as compassionate, you mean that they feel for that in pain or in emotional grief. The false consensus effect, also known as consensus bias, is a pervasive cognitive bias that causes people to “see their own behavioural choices and judgments as relatively common and appropriate to existing circumstances”. In other words, they assume that their personal qualities, the false-consensus effect which is on Talent Chiwenga can be contrasted with pluralistic ignorance, an error in which people privately disapprove but publicly support what seems to be the majority view when the majority in fact shares their (private) disapproval. So Talent Chiwenga has a mental health problem which most of his followers have failed to understand and have given him the Dutch courage. Talent Chiwenga is an arrogant someone who is arrogant thinks he is better or more important than other people and behaves in a way that is rude and too confident. He has become proud and thinks that he is now at the level of God. Talent Chiwenga is so conceited. Someone who is conceited behaves in a way that shows they think they are very intelligent, skilful, or attractive. he is self-satisfied showing how pleased he is about your own situation in a way that annoys other people.
Talent Chiwenga is an immodest person, someone who is immodest thinks that he is very good or smart and likes to talk about their achievements. He is someone who is superior he behaves in a proud way, as if he thinks that he is better or more important than other people. he is vain and egocentric behaving as if he is more important than other people, and need not care about them.
He is known to be very patronizing and behaving or speaking in a way that shows you think you are more intelligent or important than someone.
The way he attacks others shows that he is self-opinionated and has become very blasphemous. Talent Chiwenga may benefit from these few verses from the bible. God seeks humble men. Proverbs 12:23
(A prudent man conceals knowledge, but the heart of fools proclaims folly.)
(Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.)
(A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge is easy for a man of understanding.)
For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, but the righteous escapes from trouble. From the fruit of his mouth a man is satisfied with good, and the work of a man’s hand comes back to him. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice. The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult. Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness utters deceit. …
Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth? Declare, if you know all this.
Those who really care for Chiwenga, please get him some help. The love for power and the blood he has spilt is haunting him.
