" It is a very special year because of number SEVEN and at the same time also, 2017 collides with 37 years by which Zanu PF has been ruling this beautiful nation of Zimbabwe, but something is going to be happening also, which is very critical for us to know".
He added, "It was on the 26th of December 2016 when I was in prayer and God said to me this coming year 2017 the President is dying and he told me that he is dying on 17th of October, like I said earlier on that I am not happy for somebody to die but, this is something that is going to happen".
His arrest come as Zanu PF political commissar, Saviour Kasukuwere was today quoted saying prophets in Zimbabwe were becoming reckless and careless with their pronouncements.
He said they should "stop the behaviour or they will force government to act".
