Prophet Magaya’s Prime Waterfalls Properties Up For Auction
Prophet Walter Magaya’s multi-million dollar hotel and stadium complex in Waterfalls is set for auction after two separate creditors secured writs of execution from the High Court. The prime developments, located on adjoining stands at Smuts Road in Prospect, appear to overlap — with both creditors listing the same hotel and stadium facilities — raising the likelihood that the complex spans both properties.
Chinese National Targets Stand 168
According to court papers under Sale Number SH3294/25 dated 24 September 2025, Chinese national Li Xiu Yun successfully obtained a writ against Prophetic Healing and Deliverance (PHD) Ministries. The order targets Stand 168 of Prospect, a 3.8428-hectare property at 168 Smuts Road, Waterfalls.
A report on the property noted that access was denied, but visible improvements included “a hotel that appeared to be a four-star with ancillary facilities, several cluster houses/lodges and a stadium.”
The court papers reported that the development has long been a neighbourhood milestone, with enhanced security and extensive facilities, making it one of the most prominent projects associated with Magaya’s ministry.
GetBucks Pursues US$420,000 On Stand 166
The second case, under Sale Number SH3298/25, involves GetBucks Microfinance Bank Limited. The microfinance institution is seeking to recover a debt of US$420,140 (about R7.7 million) from Planet Africa (Private) Limited, Walter Magaya, Tendai Magaya and Deliverance Ministries. The property attached in this case is the Remainder of Stand 166 Prospect, measuring 3.2323 hectares at 166 Smuts Road, Waterfalls. Court documents describe it as containing “a hotel and a 40-seater stadium with FIFA ranking, very good security and several clusters/lodges” — almost identical to the description of Stand 168.
This similarity strongly suggests that Magaya’s complex, including the hotel and FIFA-ranked stadium, may straddle both properties now being pursued by different creditors.
It was reported in June 2025 that GetBucks had already obtained a High Court order for repayment, but accused Magaya and his entities of frustrating recovery efforts.
In its court filing, the bank said:
“A couple of days before the sale in execution, the respondent voluntarily resolved to place the principal debtor under Corporate Rescue which position frustrated the sale in execution of the immovable property.”
GetBucks also alleged deliberate obstruction, telling the court:
“There being no further assets of the 1st and 2nd Respondent and after frustration of all execution avenues to frustrate the judgment of this court and to render it a brutum fulmen, it follows that the two are insolvent and their estates should be liquidated. Procedures have been abused to frustrate execution. Entities linked to the applicant have been used to frustrate genuine execution of court orders.”
Auction Ahead, But Confusion Remains
With two writs now covering overlapping properties, the Sheriff of the High Court faces the complex task of auctioning the Waterfalls developments. Creditors may end up pursuing claims on the same hotel and stadium, complicating the sale process and potentially triggering further legal battles.
For Prophet Magaya and PHD Ministries, the developments — once celebrated as a milestone in the church’s expansion — have become the centre of a financial storm. Both stands are now firmly under the hammer, with the creditors determined to enforce repayment.

Viral “2026 Is the New 2016” Trend Takes Over Social Media
A growing social media movement known as “2026 Is the New 2016” has become one of the most talked-about trends online. Millions of users across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube are recreating the music, fashion, and internet culture that defined 2016, bringing nostalgia-driven content back into the spotlight.
Creators are posting videos featuring old Snapchat-style filters, popular dances, throwback music playlists, and fashion trends that dominated social media nearly a decade ago. Songs that were major hits in 2016 are also climbing streaming charts again as younger audiences rediscover older internet trends. Hashtags connected to the movement are generating millions of views daily.
Marketing experts believe nostalgia content performs especially well during uncertain economic and political times because it provides audiences with a sense of comfort and familiarity. Fashion brands and influencers are quickly adapting by promoting styles inspired by mid-2010s culture, including oversized clothing, vintage sneakers, and retro smartphone aesthetics.
The trend has also sparked debates about how quickly internet culture evolves and recycles itself. Social media analysts predict nostalgia-based content will remain highly popular throughout 2026 as creators continue reviving trends from earlier digital eras.
The Importance of Renewable Energy for Future Generations
Renewable energy has become one of the most important solutions for addressing climate change and reducing environmental pollution. Traditional energy sources such as coal, oil, and natural gas contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. Renewable energy technologies offer cleaner alternatives that support long-term environmental sustainability.
Solar power, wind energy, hydroelectric systems, and geothermal energy are among the most widely used renewable energy sources today. These technologies generate electricity with significantly lower carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels. Many countries are investing heavily in renewable infrastructure to reduce dependence on imported fuels and improve energy security.
Renewable energy also creates economic opportunities through job creation and technological innovation. Engineers, construction workers, technicians, and researchers are increasingly employed in renewable energy industries worldwide. Developing countries are using solar systems and mini-grid technologies to expand electricity access in rural communities.
Despite its advantages, renewable energy still faces challenges such as infrastructure costs, battery storage limitations, and inconsistent energy production during certain weather conditions. However, advances in technology continue improving efficiency and reducing costs associated with clean energy systems.
Experts believe renewable energy will play a critical role in protecting future generations from environmental damage and supporting sustainable economic growth. International cooperation and continued investment in clean technology are essential for building a more environmentally responsible future.
