Mugadza made a declaration
in January that God told him Mugabe would die on October 17, 2017.
Zimbabwean controversial
prophet, Phillip Mugadza, who prophesied that President Robert Mugabe of
Zimbabwe will die today, October 17, 2017, has made adjustments to his
statement.
According to
Timeslive.co.za, the pastor reportedly sent out a voice note‚ in which he
suggested God had changed His mind.
In it‚ Mugadza allegedly
says, “It was brought to me to say that there has been a postponement of the
prophetic word which I had spoken in the month of January 2017”.
He had no idea why God had
the change of heart.
“As to why God postponed
that‚ He never told me that – so I really don’t know why God chose that
direction. I know many people were actually expecting the fulfilment of the
prophetic word‚ because of what is happening in this nation. This can only be
speculation as to why it happened and how it got to be like that.”
Earlier this year‚ in a
clip aired on ZIMDITV Online, Mugadza had said that the 93-year-old president
days were numbered.
“When I was in prayer‚ God
said to me: ‘This year the president is dying.’ He told me to say that he is
dying on the 17th of October‚” said Mugadza.
Mugabe‚ however, did not
take kindly to the prophecy‚ and the man of the cloth landed in jail. Following
his release from the cells‚ Mugadza apologised to the president‚ but maintained
that the prophecy still stood.
“What happened after that
has proved and shown me that the president misunderstood what I said‚ because I
remember saying that if he wants to prolong his life‚ he has to go before God.
Having said that‚ I thought he’d understand that and go to God‚ but instead, he
dragged me to the courts and into prison for 55 days‚” Mugadza said on the same
TV station in April.
“So I really want to take
responsibility by saying‚ ‘Mr President‚ I am really sorry that you
misunderstood what I said. But you know what‚ sir? I am not apologising for
what I said. What I said still stands‚ if you do not do anything about it’‚” he
added.
In an interview, Mugabe has
brushed off what he labelled “prophets of doom and gloom who masqueraded their
dreams and wishes as prophecies”.
“I don’t care about them
anymore, ” Mugabe said. “We had some pastors praying for my death‚ even a
bishop of my church.” He added that it was absolutely nothing new to him.
