Tsvangirai Pledges to Press Ahead with Protests, Rejects Prophet Makandiwa’s Bloodshed Warning
MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai has vowed to go ahead with planned street protests, saying he would not make political decisions based on prophecy. This comes after United Family International Church founder Emmanuel Makandiwa predicted bloodshed in the country, leading to widespread speculation.
A Prophecy of Bloodshed
On Tuesday, Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa predicted bloodshed in the country. This led most people on social media to speculate that the prophecy referred to a harsh police response to the MDC-T's planned protests, which are intended to pressure the government to address the country’s economic crisis.
Responses from the Political Arena
Tsvangirai’s spokesperson, Luke Tamborinyoka, stated that while the former Premier is a Christian who respects men of God, his political decisions would not be bound by the prophetic word. "President Tsvangirai... does not make political judgments or decisions based on prophecy," he said. Tsvangirai himself has previously visited Nigerian prophet T.B. Joshua on a number of occasions.
Tamborinyoka suggested the prophecy might not concern the MDC-T at all, but could instead be referring to "bloody clashes across the political river"—the internal succession wars within President Robert Mugabe’s ZANU-PF. ZANU-PF spokesperson Rugare Gumbo offered another view, stating that people were quoting Makandiwa out of context and that the prophecy of bloodshed referred to other countries, not Zimbabwe.
The Broader Context
The situation is unfolding in a tense climate. ZANU-PF is locked in serious internal fights as factions jostle for position ahead of the party's elective congress. At the same time, Tsvangirai's call for street protests had already been met with mixed feelings, and President Mugabe and Zimbabwe Defence Forces Commander General Constantine Chiwenga had warned they would deal ruthlessly with any perceived "lawlessness" or "insurgency."
