Religious Network Yadah TV Announces Closure.
Yadah TV, a religious broadcasting station led by Walter Magaya, ended operations on January 31, 2025. The network has operated on channel 281 for six years.
This closure follows recent claims about Magaya's education. The University of South Africa stated they have no record of his graduation. Critics have called him a "fake prophet" and accused him of using his position for money.
The station thanked viewers in its final message. It plans to air its last show at the end of January.
The shutdown marks a major shift in Zimbabwe's religious media landscape. Magaya's channel reached many homes through its broadcasts of religious content and services.
This news adds to discussions about faith leaders and their impact on Zimbabwe's media sector.
