In an interview with The Herald yesterday, Prophetic Healing and Deliverance chief spokesperson and senior overseer, Mr Admire Mango, said Walter Magaya had resisted attempts by two witnesses, one of whom is a senior police officer who were demanding $500 000 for them to testify in his favour.
Mr Mango said the witnesses have since posted on social media an edited video in which they sought to create an impression that Magaya had admitted to the charge when in actual fact the video showed how the witnesses sought to demand money from the man of cloth. Said Mango:
If they were acting in good faith they should have posted the whole video which is 30 minutes long and not what they did so that people make their own independent judgments without being swayed by the edited version. They have posted a three minute video by deleting the portion in which they were demanding $500 000. Initially the senior police officer wanted to extort Prophet Magaya $100 000, but he was steadfast in resisting that. The fact of the matter is that these witnesses sought to extort Prophet Magaya using a guy called Kudakwashe alias Ranjisi who stays in Chitungwiza. Initially the senior police officer, who is an Assistant Commissioner made a demand of $100 000 which was turned down. He then instructed his lawyers to demand that same amount under the guise that he had been defamed by Prophet Magaya. Our leader, has however, remained steadfast in resisting the demand.
The rape trial has been scheduled for February 20 this year is unlikely to be heard since Magaya’s lawyers have approached the Constitutional Court challenging the decision by the prosecution to proceed with the trial despite the withdrawal of the charge by the complainant.
