Own Correspondent|Controversial Masvingo preacher, Isaac Makomichi has torched social media storm and widespread debate after claiming God will save Emmerson Mnangagwa and his Cabinet Ministers from the deadly Coronavirus.

In a press statement released on Saturday morning, Makomichi claimed God will stand with ZANU PF leaders and “prophesied” that the Lord will save Mnangagwa and top government officials from the deadly pandemic.

“The ZANU PF party must not lose hope, God is doing something to put the Covid 19 situation under control.

I will also have to visit the ZANU PF HQ for prayers. I will ask God to protect all top Zanu PF leaders or else there will be more deaths.

The nation must unite in the fight against the pandemic.

I’m also asking the President to allow me to visit the State House for prayers.

I am seeing a dark cloud and only God can remove that cloud..

ZANU PF leaders must not lose hope I will repeat- they must seek God’s mercy or else it will end in tears”

Social media users have dismissed Makomichi’s prophecy, arguing he is merely seeking to please Mnangagwa.

Senior Zanu PF Official Simon-Khaya on Saturday morning implored the nation to pray for Divine intervention.

Mrs Auxillia Mnangagwa has recently called for a prayer and fasting programme as COVID-19 continues to ravage the nation.
