Prophet Chiza's Bosso prophecy come to pass

Bulawayo Prophet Chiza's Highlanders prophecy come to pass.

Prophet Chiza had prophesied that the Bosso will win the Mbada Diamonds Cup final at Barbourfields Stadium. Highlanders won 3-0 to How Mine and pocketed $130,000.

Prophet Chiza, the leader of the Eagle Life Assemblies in Bulawayo, last week said Bosso would not end the season without silverware during a sermon at his church before Sunday's match.

The prophet, who was clad in a black and white designer suit, told congregants that Highlanders would cruise to victory and become a successful team in the country and in Africa.

"Two days ago I saw a vision of a trophy with two handles, with black and gold emeralds at the bottom and Zimbabwean colours. I checked on the Internet and saw that the trophy that I had seen in the vision looked exactly like the Mbada Diamonds Cup. God said it is definite that they will get it. I saw them lifting the trophy and God said he wants to give them money.

"This is a sign of what God is going to do. I have spoken to their assistant coach Bekithemba Ndlovu and told him that his people must not use juju. That is the condition. The team that will play with Highlanders can climb up the mountain, walk down the valley and visit any traditional healer to win the Cup but God has said the Cup is for Highlanders," said the prophet confidently.

He also spoke of how God showed him the scoreline, how the players will score, saying one of the goals would be disputed but God will make Highlanders win in the name of Jesus. Not sure if he got this one correct though.

The prophet, however, said there was a need for the Highlanders players and the entire team to have a strong relationship with God and have faith in order for them to win their matches.

"I want to make it clear that I do not support any soccer team. I am not even a soccer fan and I do not know any player at Highlanders except one that I prayed for when he came to church.  Demons are everywhere, even at our stadia. It is a religion, which is why thousands of people are seen at stadia every Sunday to watch soccer matches.

"God says we cannot conquer Bulawayo until we have conquered Barbourfields Stadium. We must pray for our teams and we will start with Bosso. God said we cannot continue preaching without touching that realm. Football is spiritual, that is why we see people fighting, stoning each other and some spending days without eating when their favourite team does not win," said the prophet.

Highlanders qualified for the Mbada Diamonds Cup final following their 5-3 win after penalty shootouts against Harare City at Mandava Stadium.

Prophet Chiza's prophecy that Bosso will conquer How Mine might came at the right time for Highlanders' followers who might have been wary that  their Mbada Diamonds Cup opponents will use unnatural powers to beat them.

How Mine overcame an off-the-field incident at the National Sports Stadium in their semi-final against Caps United after a break-in into their dressing room 15 minutes into the game with their hosts searching for juju.

The Caps United marshals who broke in with a camera crew in tow, found burning candles which were surrounding bottles with liquid in them. The set up of the candles and the bottles was in typical football formation all numbering 11.

There have been persistent reports that How Mine's coach Philani "Beefy" Ncube uses juju, an allegation that he has strongly denied.

There have also been allegations that before his team's competitive matches, Ncube goes to the match venues to conduct some rituals which affect his opponents' performances, an accusation he refutes.

Even after the break-in into their dressing room at the National Sports Stadium, Ncube denied that the candles were for juju but said they were for his team's prayers.
