The interim President Emmerson Mnangagwa at the weekend highlighted that the outser of former president Robert Mugabe was prophesied way back in 1964.
Mnangagwa told the gathering how the late Bishop Mutendi, who was his uncle, foretold his future in the 1960s.
"Let me tell you in 1964 when I still did not understand these things (prophecy) I was with my colleague recruiting young men and women to join the liberation struggle at Nyika, you know Nyika (in Bikita). We were seeing one (Cde) Farirai Masunda. He is the one we were seeing since he was the chairman at the time in the area,unfortunately he died, succumbed to thorough beating (by Rhodesian authorities) because of us," said President Mnangagwa.
"As we were moving around we saw a large group of people, comprising men and women, who were walking in a field belonging to my late uncle, Bishop Mutendi's father (the late Samuel Mutendi) and would gather at one place in the evening. We went there and my uncle the late Bishop Mutendi called me and my colleague."
"We stood up, and holding his famous staff in one hand, he said referring to me and my colleague, 'you are in a race but in a race there are some who win and others who fail to make it, yet all of you will be part of the race,' up to now I do not know what he meant. He said to the two of us, 'between you two, one will win but another will fail in the race that you are participating," said the President.
"Today he is no longer there but I wanted to ask him what he exactly meant by saying my colleague and I were in a race. I now know that as a man of God he was talking about what awaited us in way into the future and what he said was fulfilled and today I am here with you," said Mnangagwa.
