Morgan Tsvangirai’s departure on this day reminds us all of a lot of things, and one of them a claim to fame by a certain “Apostle” who infers he is the one who prophesied or advised the appointment of Nelson Chamisa ( see video).
On this day (picture) in July 2014, I publicly joined others to advise the great icon Morgan Tsvangirai to handover the baton to his successor Nelson Chamisa. A certain fake preacher picked this up in our news feed and turned our piece of advice into a prophecy, saying Chamisa is the next President of Zimbabwe in the upcoming elections, 2018. When he later noticed that prediction wasn’t happening despite Chamisa’s elevation in 2016, he dropped yet another statement this time saying “Chigubhu chichirikusukwa” the container is still being washed. By that time he had routed all Chamisa’s followers into following him. Some of Chamisa’s followers still believe in him to this day, and he has boisterously said he is the only accurate person in the country, the only voice that speaks genuinely for God. He has also confidently announced saying his words are the ones “controlling the politics of this country.”
He has falsely claimed Chamisa goes to him for prayers.
After usurping Chamisa’s limelight, he has come out to announce saying Chamisa is a liar, literally. He has also come out saying Chamisa is not ready to lead Zimbabwe, contradicting his so called 2014 prophecy.
In other matters, he has said truck drivers are lazy, saying gonyet Driving is not a career of note.
In 2018 after listening to my phonecall with Constantino Chiwenga, he passed conclusions and started to claim that Emmerson Mnangagwa did not send soldiers to shoot people on 1 Aug 2018. He said God told him this. He went further to say Mnangagwa is totally clueless, “havasikutoziva kuti voita sei nazvo,” he added. The god he worships must be very dumb, because the nation saw Mnangagwa not only doing it, but announcing it.
What inspired Tsvangirai’s choice of Chamisa? It was no prophecy. It was the man’s wisdom on the young man he saw was steadfast and loyal to the brand and the party (see video).
