The
president of Malawi has blasted Nigeria's highly revered prophet, T.B.
Joshua following one of his controversial prophecies.
Peter Mutharika
Malawian President Peter Mutharika on Sunday attacked Prophet TB
Joshua over an alleged prophecy that he would die before April 1.
Speaking on state TV at a rally in his capital Lilongwe, the president said: “I’m
told there is a man in Nigeria called Joshua and he is saying that
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe and Peter Mutharika will die before
April 1. Let me tell you, Joshua… you will fail. What you did in 2012
will not happen again this year,”
In 2012, Joshua reportedly predicted the death of a president of an
unnamed southern African country. Mutharika’s brother, Bingu, who was
president at the time, did die within the predicted timeframe, giving
the prophesy strong currency in Malawi.
In January, Joshua reportedly gave a televised prophecy, telling
his congregation to pray for the leaders in southern Africa, saying: “End of February to April this year, peculiar months for Southern Africa.”
Mutharika questioned Joshua’s credentials as a prophet, pointing to
the collapse of a guesthouse in his sprawling Synagogue Church of All
Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos in September 2014, which left 116 people dead,
mostly South Africans.
“Why did he not foretell this tragedy? This all shows that he is a liar. He just wants to raise money.”
Mutharika is in his mid 70s and has pledged to be around in 2019
for the next presidential elections, and in also 2024, when — if
re-elected — he will wrap up his last term.
Mutharika came to power in 2014 after defeating Joyce Banda.
