TB Joshua prophesies Mugabe's death?
By Wonai Masvingise and Thelma Chikwanha
HARARE – Reports that Temitope Balogun Joshua, a Nigerian prophet using the name TB Joshua, has foretold the death of an African president soon have raised debate in many African countries including Zimbabwe where ageing presidents are still in power.

A Malawian website Nyasatimes.com also carried the story yesterday. TB Joshua is the leader of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (Scoan), based in Nigeria.
Joshua, who commands a large following in Nigeria and beyond, said an African leader would die within 60 days. He failed to hint on the location of the leader, leaving wild guesses to fly around.
"God loves us, you should pray for one African head of state, when I say President… again the sickness that is likely to take life; sudden death, it could be sickness being in the body for a long time but God showed me the country and the place but I'm not here to say anything like that."
"When it's too close and there is nothing I can do about it, I'll mention it clear; the place, the country and the person so that they can see what they can do to rescue him. Okay, it is very close. Jesus loves us. Wave your hand, wave your hand," TB Joshua was quoted as saying by the online publications.
Sleeping on the Job: Robert Mugabe
His prophecy immediately attracted the attention of Zimbabweans who began posting their own conclusions on social networking sites such as Facebook.
Zanu PF spokesperson Rugare Gumbo, whose leader President Robert Mugabe was the subject of unsavoury facebook postings following the "prophesy", refused to comment.
"I do not believe some of these prophecies of doom," said Gumbo.
Mugabe, turning 88 this month, leads Africa's league of aged leaders struggling with reported ill-health.
In the past, TB Joshua's aides have been forced to deny some prophecies attributed to the "Man of God" although some of his prophecies have been proved to be true. The Daily News was yesterday inundated with callers who wanted to pass on the "prophecy".
Haya haya mzee wa watu Mugabe bado anadunda baada ya kutabariwa atakufa ndani ya siku sitini na T.B joshua...,sasa tusubiri utabiri mwingine kuhusu Lowassa kuwa raisi 2015..,macho na masikio yetu kutoka kwa T.B JOSHUA (SHEIKE YAHYA WA NIGERIA) ambaye sasa hv utabiri wake unakuwa vice versa

TB Joshua, whose prophecies have often come to pass, reportedly made the shocking prophecy during a Sunday service this week, according to several online reports.
