They say a prophet has no honour in his home town. Such was the case with Prophet Walter Magaya as he arrived in Kenya to the sounds of people screaming and kneeling at his feet.
Scores of people flooded the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to welcome the prophet who was in Kenya to headline a major crusade organized by the Christ Pinnacle Embassy Ministries church.
As he approached the JKIA car park, some of the people threw themselves onto the ground and some broke into tears as they spoke in tongues. People of all ages waved flags and the entourage was complete with a marching band.
In an interview at the airport (video below) Walter Magaya said;
"If God touches you, you will never remain the same. This will mean the change of a lot of lives. So you will see it and the testimonies will be evident. Thank you"
One of the journalists on site took the chance to ask about Aguma, a drug formulated by Prophet Magaya that he claimed could cure HIV. The prophet responded;
"I didn't say I cure HIV. I said I found a solution that may cure HIV which may need more investigation. But you know how it is with our media. We take it and write it as we wish as it may come out. So uuummm so also in Africa. If an African finds something better, the only thing that we do is we arrest them than to listen to them."
Prophet Walter Magaya was convicted in 2019 for contravening sections of the Medicines and Allied Substances Control Act through manufacturing and marketing the anti-HIV drug without first clearing with authorities. He had to pay a fine of $700US even though there were lab tests conducted to prove the statement wrong.
Besides issues surrounding the HIV cure, prophet Magaya has been on the receiving end of rape and extramarital affair allegations. There was also an incident with Bernard Chiteme, a young that was healed by the prophet and was later seen at the Mbuya Nehanda statue unveiling hurling insults at Chamisa.
These collective incidents have resulted in a decline of Zimbabwean followers as many people that put him on a spiritual pedestal have since turned their backs on the prophet's ministry. So the huge welcome in Kenya comes as a shock to many Zimbabweans. And as they say...again...A prophet has no honour in his home town.
