'I gave my congregation cucumbers for free, they were not anointed' - Prophet Magaya

Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries founder Walter Magaya yesterday dismissed reports circulating on social media that he sold cucumbers to his followers. Prophet Magaya, who is a farmer, told H-Metro yesterday that he gave the cucumbers to followers for free. 

Social media was awash with claims that Prophet Magaya sold the ‘anointed cucumbers’ for $5 each to church members.

Some even claimed Prophet Magaya had gotten the cucumbers from Mbare Musika at a bargain and then made a killing at his church service. 

However, all this is not true. In an exclusive interview with H-Metro, prophet Magaya said he saw it fit to give his ministry some of his farm produce, including the cucumbers that have since grabbed attention of social media.

“When I look at my ministry workers, I see them as fertile soil where I can reap best yields if and when I plant them. This is exactly what happened,” said the prophet.

He added: “I gave them cucumbers and cabbages for free. I want to be a successful farmer so giving is what I learnt from Holy Scriptures and feel more blessed when I give my ministry. The cucumbers are sold at the farm for less than a dollar if you visit there, and they were just cucumbers not anointed as alleged. 

I am a farmer and during this rain season I feel more blessed in working the land since God said it in his Holy Scriptures. I am sure those who are spreading such falsehoods do not know that I am a serious farmer and looking forward to be the best farmer in Zimbabwe”.

Apart from farming Prophet Magaya is expecting to complete a house under construction in Bulawayo for his prayer partners.
