In a surprising turn of events, a now-deleted tweet from Prophet Walter Magaya has sent shockwaves across Zimbabwe. The charismatic preacher and leader of Prophetic Healing and Deliverance (PHD) Ministries reportedly posted a chilling prophecy regarding the fate of flamboyant businessman Sir Wicknell Chivayo, claiming he would "not see the end of this year."
The tweet, posted in the early hours of Thursday morning, read:
"The Lord has spoken. A prominent businessman known for his wealth and flamboyance shall not see the end of 2025 unless he repents and seeks divine intervention. Pray for Sir Wicknell."
Within minutes, the tweet went viral, with many followers expressing disbelief and concern. However, the tweet was swiftly deleted, leaving the online community buzzing with speculation about its meaning and the reasons behind its removal. Screenshots of the tweet have since circulated widely on social media, further fueling the controversy.
The prophecy has elicited mixed reactions from the public. Supporters of Prophet Magaya see the post as a genuine warning from God, urging Sir Wicknell to change his ways. On the other hand, skeptics and critics have accused the prophet of making sensational claims for attention.
"Why would a man of God post something so sensitive and then delete it?" questioned one Twitter user. "This feels more like a publicity stunt than a divine message."
Others have expressed concern for Sir Wicknell’s safety and well-being, urging him to take the prophecy seriously and seek spiritual guidance.
Sir Wicknell, known for his larger-than-life personality and flamboyant lifestyle, took to Instagram to address the prophecy. In a post laden with humor and sarcasm, he wrote:
"So now I’m on the heavenly hit list? Let’s see if this prophecy holds any water. Meanwhile, I’m still making deals and counting dollars."
The businessman’s response has only added to the drama, with his followers debating whether his reaction was appropriate or reckless.
The reasons for Prophet Magaya’s decision to delete the tweet remain unclear. Some speculate that he faced backlash from his congregation or Sir Wicknell’s supporters, while others believe he may have reconsidered the potential legal or social implications of such a bold claim.
The prophecy has undoubtedly put a spotlight on both Prophet Magaya and Sir Wicknell, with the public eagerly watching how events will unfold. Will Sir Wicknell take heed of the warning, or will he dismiss it entirely? Only time will tell.
For now, the controversy continues to dominate conversations both online and offline, with many Zimbabweans questioning the boundaries of modern prophecy and its role in public discourse.
