Zimbabwe prophet launches 'miracle' card he claims heals and exorcises evil spirits

Prophetic Healing and Deliverance (PHD) Ministries leader, Prophet Walter Magaya, has introduced a card he claims holds the power to heal and deliver those who use it. Magaya, a figure known for his bold and often contentious spiritual claims, announced the launch in a video shared on his social media platforms.

"I can safely say to you the cards are officially launched. They are for you, for your use," Magaya said, emphasizing the importance of respect and sacrifice in unlocking the card's purported anointing power.

The cards, whose price remains undisclosed, are being marketed as spiritual tools for healing and deliverance. Magaya urged followers to honor the anointing through acts of sacrifice, such as traveling long distances to obtain the card or offering financial contributions.

"Respect is found in sacrifice," he explained. "If one comes all the way from Bulawayo to attend a service to get a card, that sacrifice, I tell you, will get the anointing to work. If one takes out money and says this is my seed towards this anointing, that anointing will work because you will honor it."

The cards are reportedly being distributed internationally, with shipments already sent to South Africa, Botswana, Australia, and other countries. Magaya announced that a mass prayer session for cardholders would take place soon.

"As we speak right now, some of the cards are in an aeroplane to Australia, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, Botswana. On Sunday, when I make a massive prayer, you shall hold your card and pray with me," he said.

Magaya has a history of controversial claims and products. In 2019, he faced public backlash and a US$700 fine after claiming to have discovered a cure for HIV and AIDS, a plant-based drug called AGUMA. The claim was dismissed by the government, leading to his arrest and an eventual public apology.

Previously, he also introduced a lipstick product, claiming it could address specific bodily issues, including low blood sugar levels.

Despite criticism, Magaya's church remains one of Zimbabwe's largest charismatic movements, with a following that extends across Africa and beyond. His latest offering has sparked debate, with critics questioning its legitimacy and supporters eagerly awaiting its promised benefits.
