There is speculation that Nigerian preacher TB Joshua is heading towards Zimbabwe in a few weeks\u2019 time.The rumours came after TB Joshua at the weekend stated he will soon visit a certain \u201ctroubled country\u201d and meet its president. He however did not specify which country.<\/p>\n

The speculation also comes amid reports that TB Joshua was recently in the process of acquiring land in Ruwa to open a church branch in Zimbabwe. The Synagogue Church of All Nations sent proposals to Ruwa Town Board seeking to buy land. TB Joshua rose to fame after accurately predicting the death of Malawi\u2019s former ruler Bingu wa Mutharika.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Social networks were flooded with rumours over the alleged visit to the country which is one of the most troubled countries in Africa with political instability, corruption, and violence.<\/p>\n

President Mugabe\u2019s spokesperson George Charamba however was quoted yesterday stating that he was not aware of TB Joshua\u2019s planned visit to Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not aware of that and I have no reason to be aware because I don\u2019t speak for him,\u201d Charamba said. \u201cI don\u2019t even know him. I know President Mugabe.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then suggested it was probably the MDC-T that was bringing TB Joshua to Zimbabwe. \u201cIt\u2019s the MDC-T that\u2019s bringing him. You think we don\u2019t know? Check with them,\u201d said Charamba.MDC-T organising secretary Nelson Chamisa, however, dismissed the claims saying he was in the dark about such plans.<\/p>\n

Sources, have said prior to the Sunday announcement, there was already word making the rounds about TB Joshua\u2019s planned Zimbabwe visit.<\/p>\n

Another source said she understood the inclusive government was trying to bring TB Joshua to Zimbabwe for a prayer meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am told that he was invited by the GNU. They were trying to invite him for a combined prayer meeting so if they are denying it, probably the negotiations failed because I don\u2019t see (President) Mugabe agreeing to something like that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Scores of well-to-do Zimbabweans have recently visited TB Joshua\u2019s church in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Tsvangirai was there two years ago reportedly to seek spiritual guidance. In the same year, former Marondera West Zanu PF MP Tracy Mutinhiri and Zanu PF Politburo member and Women\u2019s League boss Oppah Muchinguri also visited the church.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe Football Association president Cuthbert Dube, formerly wheel-chair bound, is now able to walk after attending one of Scoan\u2019s healing sessions.<\/p>\n

TB Joshua early this year foretold the imminent death of an ageing African leader, an oracle that apparently came true with the sudden death of Malawi President Bingu wa Mutharika.<\/p>\n

TB Joshua has also predicted the death of pop star Michael Jackson, the resignation of Pakistan\u2019s former President Pervez Musharraf and election of Ghanaian President John Atta-Mills.<\/p>\n

He also prophesied the fall from grace of Cote d\u2019Ivoire President Laurent Gbagbo and Ivory Coast football team\u2019s defeat by Zambia in this year\u2019s Africa Cup of Nations final in Gabon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
