BULAWAYO – Prophet Itai Ukama, of Abundant Life Ministries in Bulawayo, appears to have correctly predicted events around Zimbabwe’s elections held on July 30.

In a video posted by his church on July 22, Ukama says that “next week people will be so disappointed, because it’s not yet time,” he says, as if predicting the reaction to election results showing Zanu PF winning a landslide in Parliament, and pointing to the possibility the party’s leader Emmerson Mnangagwa would be declared President.

He says he saw a “dark cloud” hovering over Zimbabwe.

And then he appears to suggest that should Mnangagwa be declared President, he would not finish his term.

“I’m talking about the outcome of the Zimbabwean election. It’s not yet time. But the time shall come, before the end of time,” he says.

He said in after the July 30 elections, Zimbabwe would continue to “put on the same clothes”. He told his congregation “there will be so much trouble and strife around the nation, and we don’t want this thing to rapture.”

He asked his church to pray so that “blood would not be shed”.

On Wednesday, soldiers opened fire on protesting MDC Alliance supporters protesting over delays in announcing Presidential election results. At least three people were killed, and several others shot.

Ukama appears to raise the possibility that the next President might form a unity government.

“I saw a rainbow over the nation of Zimbabwe and I saw a chair put right in the middle of that rainbow. The man sat there and he started inviting people and chairs were put around him, but the people sitting beside him are not putting the same clothes as him. He’s sitting below the rainbow, he’s calling other people and the people are coming, chairs are put left and right but some of the people putting are not putting on the same clothes as him. Says the Lord to the churches,” he said.

He said there was “so much acrimony, so much tension, but God is going to rain peace.”
