Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Leader has opened up for the first time about her arrest over the Aguma herbal Immune booster which he claims can cure HIV and Cancer.
"I was arrested after I had given an apology at a conference which I held with the Minister of Health. I was arrested when I was going down the Ministry building. I saw a lot of riot police. After talking to them they responded well and we went to the police. I did not tell anyone including my wife.I also asked the police not to mention it because I did not want any of my children to know. After being asked questions I was released at midnight.
"They told me that the arrest was because of the Sunday announcement that I did without a licence. The good news is that I have met the government and they have agreed to test Aguma.
This is the first time that the PHD Leader has come out in the open in the about his arrest.

"Verifications were made through the Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe and it was established that Aguma is not a registered medicine or drug in Zimbabwe. It was also established that neither Magaya nor Aretha Medical Company were authorised by the Health Professions Authority to carry out clinical tests on nay human being to prove that Aguma can cure the aforementioned diseases thereby the accused committed an offence."
