Gringo responds to Prophet Angel's 'insult'. He says Prophet Angel needs serious counselling

"Gringo" Lazarus Boora

One of the country's most decorated comedians, Lazarus 'Gringo' Boora, has taken an open swipe at Spirit Embassy founder Prophet Uebert ANgel who poked him with a scathing statement describing him as a 'small man'.

Prophet Angel was quoted as saying: "Big people don't talk about small people and that is the reason why you see Denzel Washington doesn't talk about Gringo."

In an interview with a local newspaper, Gringo had no kind words for the 'miracle money' Prophet.

"I don't want to talk about that man, I have no time to fight with him. Handinde sadza kumba kwake, VAPFANA VAKAUYA ZVINO KUBVA MHIRI VANZWA KUTI KWAITA MA US$ DOLLAR kuZimbabwe. They are just there to make money and I wish the likes of the late Pastor Chiweshe were alive to groom him. HE NEEDS SERIOUS COUNSELLING and I doubt if he has even read the bible.

"Prophet Makandiwa must teach this young man, hatimuzivi isu, mashoko ake nemaitiro ake haana huMwari mukati. Of course anoita mapipi ake asi hazvina tsarukano," fumed Gringo.

Gringo recently revived his career and starred in a re-make of Gringo. The project was directed by top filmmaker Ben Mahaka and scripted by Enoch Chinhombori who is currently based in Botswana.

Prophet Angel, who claims to possess some 'prophetic powers' has recently received scathing attacks from all walks of life over his alleged miracle money where he claims to mysteriously produce thousands of dollars from nowhere during his church services.

Finance Minister Tendai Biti challenged Prophet Angel to produce at least $10 Billion and deposit the funds into the Government's bank account, if it was true that he surely can produce money.

This week, Reserve Bank Governor Dr Gideon Gono advised the flamboyant preacher to take it easy on miracle money. Dr Gono warned Angel to try something else other than miracle money as that would get him (Angel) into trouble for violating several international monetary rules and regulations.

Happy Times : Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe and John Nkomo Dec 14, 2009

Reserve Bank governor Gideon Gono:“The sad and untimely departure of our revered Vice President John Nkomo is an incalculable loss to the nation.

“The board of the RBZ, management, staff, my family and I join the Nkomo family, President Mugabe, government and the whole nation in mourning the loss of a leader, businessman of impeccable repute and a father whose contribution to the liberation, progress and development of this country places him in the supreme category of departed heroes.

“His unassuming disposition despite his position of authority, knowledge, wisdom and rare credentials made him a personal friend of almost everybody he interacted with. He will be missed by many.”

Education and Sport Minister David Coltart: “I’m very sorry to hear through of the death of Vice President John Landa Nkomo. Although Nkomo was a member of a political party I clash with often, I always had a very cordial personal relationship with him.

“I first got to know him some 27 years ago when many of his colleagues in ZAPU were detained and I as a young lawyer was instructed to represent them. He would often come into my office at Webb, Low and Barry to enquire after his colleagues and we developed a good friendship which stood the test of time.

“In the last four years in Cabinet, we have been able to rekindle that friendship and I always found him a moderating influence in Cabinet. I last saw him when we opened a secondary school together in Tsholotsho last year which was built near the primary school where he went. We had a very pleasant day together and I am pleased that he was able to do this in the twilight of his life.

“I was very impressed with the dignified way in which he dealt with his illness. I will miss him in Cabinet. I convey my deepest sympathy to his family and political colleagues.”
United States Embassy statement: “The Embassy of the United States of America expresses its condolences to the family and the people of Zimbabwe on the death of Vice President John Landa Nkomo.
“Whether as a teacher, a politician, an advocate for Zimbabwe’s independence, or as a public servant, Vice President Nkomo was a patriot who dedicated his life to Zimbabwe’s sovereignty and prosperity.
“As a leader of PF Zapu and Zanu PF, Nkomo played an important role in shaping the course of Zimbabwean history. May he rest in peace.”

Zimbabwe’s ambassador to Senegal Trudy Stevenson on Twitter: “I’m very sorry to learn Zimbabwe’s Vice President John Nkomo has died. Condolences to all. RIP.”

Chitungwiza man's wish to have 30 children led him to have sex with a 14-year old girl

Chitungwiza man's wish to have 30 children led him to have sex with a 14-year old girl

A 25-YEAR-OLD Chitungwiza man yesterday left the court shocked after admitting to sleeping with a minor saying his wish to sire 30 children led him to commit the offence. Tawanda Mupangi of Zengeza 3

Extension, married with an eight-month child, stunned the court when he said that he wanted to take the 14-year-old for a wife.

Mupangi prophesied ignorance before magistrate Ms Rumbidzai Mugwagwa when he said that he could not survive with a single wife, hence the need for the second one.

“I slept with her because a single wife cannot bear me the 25-30 children I need,” he said.
This forced Ms Mugwagwa to call the man’s father from the gallery to inquire whether he had ever suffered any mental illness.

Mupangi, will spend the next eight months in prison.
He was slapped with a one-year prison term with four months of his sentence suspended for the next five years.

Prosecutor Mr Edmond Ndambakuwa proved that on January 12, and at around 4pm, Mupangi called the minor and asked if they could meet.

She came and together, they headed to his friend’s place for the night.
During the course of the night, he asked the minor to be intimate with him and she agreed. The following morning, he took the minor to his brother’s place and the minor’s mother called her inquiring where she was.

After that, the minor’s mother proceeded to Mupangi’s place and took her home. They later went to report the matter to the police leading to Mupangi’s arrest.

Sex Tourism: On the rise in Vic Falls

VICTORIA FALLS – It has brought a certain charm to the tourism industries of many countries, yet has remained elusive to Zimbabwe. Finally, it has come to our shores. Sex tourism is here.

These inter-racial “sexcapades” have resulted in a sudden influx of unemployed youths in the resort town who are trying their luck with female tourists, according to locals.

A recent visit to the resort town of Victoria Falls showed how sex is slowly but certainly claiming its own space in the country’s tourism industry.

Young boys who used to spend the day toiling the streets of Victoria Falls selling art products are now slowly getting into the mix and joining what is now the town’s new cash cow. And it has a race dimension to it.
Elderly white ladies walking hand-in-hand with young dreadlocked black men are now a common sight. Like in most West African countries with attractive tourist resorts, sex tourism is becoming a lucrative business for Zimbabwean young men here.
Victoria Falls is the flagship tourism area in Zimbabwe where most foreign tourists visit the most. According to various sources within the resort town, male prostitution is rising significantly with some young men relinquishing their jobs to join the new profession.
These inter-racial “sexcapades” have resulted in a sudden influx of unemployed youths in the resort town who are trying their luck with female tourists, according to locals. Most of these young men are dreadlocked, as the hairstyle has become a trademark luring factor for the tourists.
Dreadlocked Dexter Nyamainashe told the Daily News that most marriages in the area were on the rocks as some of the tourists were going as far as taking their new lovers to their native countries.
“They like us dreadlocked people because that is the stereotype of African men they have. The mistresses prefer lodges and back-packers than hotels because the ‘catch’ will not conform to the standards of hotels,” Nyamainashe said.
According to another dreadlocked man, Jameson Matava, female whites hold the perceived African male stereotype that being dark complexioned, muscular and savage looking means one is sexually potent.
“Imagine you get between $200 and $300 for only one sexual encounter. It is good money and everyone is after them. Some have left their jobs to join the new trade. He was a taxi driver (pointing at a young dreadlocked guy) and he has quit his job to join us,” Matava said.
To the unemployed youth, the temptation of the lucrative offer outweighed the risks, even in the face of scary HIV and Aids figures. Zimbabwe is one of the Sub Sahara Africa countries hard hit by HIV/Aids.
Over 1.2 million people out of the country’s estimated 13 million are known to be living with HIV\Aids.
The high HIV/Aids prevalence rate is attributed to poverty, with Zimbabwe estimated to have over 80 percent unemployment rate and recent human development figures by the United Nations Development Programme pegging the country at number 173 out of 183 countries in terms of economic and human development.
While it was clear that locals enter into the relationships due to the lure of the greenback, the simple desire for “satisfying sex” is driving these ladies to our shores. Matava claimed that one Australian lady told him that she wanted an African man because they were “well endowed”.
“When they come here and find us with the ‘real size’, they will not resist the temptation. Some mistresses have gone to the extent of buying tickets to their new sexual partners and this is causing havoc in marriages around here,” he said.
“They need thorough sex. The whole night and we call it room service. They do not want dinner; they want satisfying sex, simple. That is why they come to us,” he said.
Another dreadlocked who identified himself as Brian said some married, unemployed men were even encouraged by their wives to join the new paying trade so that they can have food on the table. Daily News

Angel claims to have prophesied Connecticut shooting:

Flamboyant and controversial Zimbabwean preacher Uebert Angel is claiming that on Sunday the 8^th of April he prophesied during a live Sunday service about the gunning down of 20 children in the United States.

Last month Angel claimed he can stop the rain but was forced to eat his words when it rained during an open air Sunday service.

Twenty children and six adults died last week Friday when gunman Adam Lanza rampaged through a primary school in Newtown, Connecticut, firing a semi-automatic rifle before killing himself.
A statement released by Angel’s Spirit Embassy church claims the ‘prophet’ gave “detailed prophetic insight concerning a shooting that was going to take place at a school in America.”
“He gave accurate detail on the location of the shooting, the age group of the shooter, the size of the weapon that was going to be used and the mental state of the shooter,” his church, Spirit Embassy said in a video it released this week.
Last month Angel claimed he can stop the rain but was forced to eat his words when it rained during an open air Sunday service. His brother Lee was deported from Botswana for allegedly embezzling offerings from church members.
Angel, whose penchant for all things stylish is well documented, bought a slick Bentley GT Continental vehicle in June this year, a decision which seriously divided his church and forced his PR department to issue denials of a rift. Nehanda Radio
