In a dramatic twist to the ongoing Prophet Walter Magaya saga, Sarah Maruta has reportedly changed her original statement submitted to authorities. Maruta, who was initially believed to be one of the key witnesses in the case, is now said to have retracted parts of her earlier claims, telling investigators that certain details were “misunderstood and taken out of context.” The sudden turnaround has sparked confusion and debate, with many questioning what prompted the shift just days after Magaya and his wife, Tendai, were detained.
Sources close to the investigation say the development could significantly alter the direction of the case, as her original testimony played a major role in shaping the charges. Magaya’s legal team, led by A. Mubaya, welcomed the new development, saying it confirms their long-standing claim that the case is built on “unverified and inconsistent statements.” Meanwhile, the public remains divided, with Magaya’s supporters celebrating what they see as divine vindication, while critics call for transparency and a full explanation from law-enforcement officials.
