“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,”
TB Joshua, in February
Malawi president Bingu wa Mutharika has suffered a cardiac arrest and conflicting reports say that he has actually died. Several websites claim that Mutharika did not survive the heart attack. This definitely reminds us of the words of Nigerian prophet TB Joshua, who just recently prophesied of the death of an African president. Just this Sunday, TB Joshua repeated his prophesy, claiming it was very close. TB Joshua is known for accurately prophesying the death of pop icon Michael Jackson. The condition of Mutharika is however not clear, as the government seems divided. One senior government official is quoted as saying, “The President has died,”
Another is reported to have said,“Government is flying him to South Africa later this evening, the condition is very critical.”
Mutharika collapsed during a meeting this morning and was rushed to a clinic in the capital. Reuters quoted a hospital source as saying that the president was unconscious.
If the rumours turn out to be true, or at worse the president becomes too ill to govern, then vice president Joyce Banda will take over office.
One month ago, Malawi’s Lands minister Yunus Mussa offered three goats as a sacrifice to the gods so that Mutharika’s life could be spared. This was after he learnt of TB Joshua’s prophesy. Mussa was concerned that the prophesy might have been referring to the 78 year old Malawian leader.
