In a fiery new message that has set social media ablaze, Apostle Talent Chiwenga has once again aimed his pulpit at fellow clergyman Prophet Walter Magaya, claiming that “political protection, not holiness,” keeps Magaya out of trouble. During a weekend sermon livestreamed to thousands of followers, Chiwenga suggested that influential figures within Zimbabwe’s political elite have been quietly defending Magaya behind the scenes each time controversy surrounds him.
Chiwenga’s explosive comments have divided the public — with some praising him for “speaking truth to power,” while others accuse him of stirring unnecessary conflict among church leaders. The outspoken preacher urged authorities to treat all citizens equally before the law, warning that “the church loses credibility when power replaces accountability.” As debate rages online under hashtags like #Magaya #Chiwenga #ChurchPolitics, observers say the clash highlights the growing tension between prophetic ministries and political influence in Zimbabwe’s faith community.
