Nigerian church leader also known as Prophet TB Joshua, is truly headed for Zimbabwe at Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s official invitation, it has emerged.
The PM’s party had earlier reported the contrary claiming that it was not involved in the Nigerian ‘prophet’s’ visit stating rather that TB Joshua had been invited by a team of Harare based pastors instead.
But reports coming out of Harare reveal that Joshua may be landing in Harare in the upcoming weeks of May, 2012 at a date to be soon announced.
“The world-famous prophet is due in Harare in May for prayer meetings at the invitation of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai,” the Tsvangirai aligned Daily News paper reported yesterday.
A senior MDC official also told friends on social networking website Facebook that they were highly expecting TB Joshua’s visit.
MDC officials are reportedly hoping that TB Joshua will bestow a favourable magic charm or spell that will see the end of president Robert Mugabe’s rule and control over the southern African nation which has seen the 88 year old ruler being backed and supported by surrounding nations in the regional SADC and African Union authorities.
While the Prime Minister’s office could not be reached for comment at the time of writing, senior influencial leaders in the country had already voiced resistance for TB Joshua with spin doctor Proffesor Jonathan Moyo labelling him a false prophet and one who made a prediction rather than a prophecy on Mutharika’s death.
A string of world shaking events are however ascribed to TB Joshua which include the recent death of Malawi’s president Bingu Wa Mutharika.
ZimEye contributor, Chisulo Chizumo, has attempted to detail some of Joshua’s ascribed predictions as:
ZAMBIAN PRESIDENT’S DEATH:

Is it flying down?” On Tuesday 1st July 2008, Former Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa was rushed to a hospital in Paris, France where he died after suffering a stroke.

On August 1, 2010, Prophet T.B. Joshua prophesied concerning the nation of Nigeria and their upcoming elections. “I’m hearing the word, extension. It has to do with this country. I’m hearing, extension for accountability.” When the prophecy was given, many scoffed at the notion, stating that constitutionally it was not permissible.

IVORY COAST PRESIDENT GBAGBO 2010
Joshua is also said to have prophesied concerning the disgraced former Ivory Coast president Laurent Gbagbo, long before the violent election-related crises erupted in November 2010. Joshua declared that Gbagbo should cede power in the upcoming elections with his counterpart Allassane Outtara, saying it was his time to leave office. Gbagbo sent emissaries to The SCOAN to request for prayers upon which Joshua requested his presence to tell him the mind of God. Unwilling to respond to or accept the prophecy, Gbagbo took matters into his own hands and dissolved his cabinet. After a six month struggle for power which resulted in hundreds of lives lost, Gbagbo was eventually arrested and is now to be tried by the International Criminal Court.

NIGERIA VS GUINEA AFCON QUALIFIER 2011
Joshua’s revelations have not always been unchangeable as in the case of when he spoke of Nigeria’s qualifier for the African Cup of Nations against Guinea on 8th October 2011. The previous Sunday, 2nd October, he had said that: “God showed me the game between Nigeria and Guinea but what I saw was not favourable” and that “any team that scores first will take the day”. He said however that it was possible to change the outcome if the team played as if everything depended on them and prayed as if everything depended on God. The team however did not heed the advice. The match ended 2:2 – with Guinea scoring the first goal and then dramatically equalising in the dying seconds, sending Nigeria out of AFCON 2012 for the first time in 25 years.

ZAMBIA AFCON 2012
Zambia’s smooth journey through AFCON 2012 shocked many, as they had not reached the final stages of the tournament for over 20 years but what was most shocking was when they met Ivory Coast, the ‘big guns’, in the final and emerged victorious as underdogs. Less than one hour before the opening of the match, Prophet Joshua in his service had said: “Yes, this blessing is for a country you are not expecting; this victory is for a country you are not expecting…God wants to make them happy because of the victims of what happened to them in the past.” Zambia emerged victorious on the same soil where they had tragically lost their entire national team, 19 years earlier in a fatal plane crash.
