Mugabe 'given a special anointing by God'

DESTINY for Afrika Network founder Obadiah Musindo says President Robert Mugabe is also shocked by the results of the July 31 poll because of the "hand of God" that "rigged" the election to fight homosexuality.

Musindo said the election results were long prophesied, tipping Mugabe to remain President and fulfil a prophetic mandate.

Mugabe garnered 61% of the votes cast to defeat MDC-T leader Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.

Musindo claimed that Tsvangirai lost because God did not like his stance on homosexuality.

"What God has ordained, no one can destroy. Mugabe is not an ordinary politician. He is somebody given a special anointing by God to execute the will of God. Those who claim rigging don't know what they are talking about. You cannot rig God, you can't influence God," Musindo told NewsDay at the weekend.

"This election result shocked everybody, even Mugabe himself was shocked, which is a clear demonstration that the divine hand of the Almighty God was at work. What the mighty God has set up, not even the mighty United Nations or the mighty EU (European Union) can destroy.

"I agree with Tsvangirai that the elections were rigged, but rigged by whom? By the Almighty God against him because of his stance on homosexuality."

Tsvangirai has since declared Mugabe and Zanu PF's victory as "null and void".
