Prophet Walter Magaya faces new criticism for blessing apples during a religious ceremony. The Zimbabwean preacher prepared crates of fruit for what he called Fruit Sunday. He told followers the apples would bring spiritual breakthroughs and material success. Magaya runs the Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries. He asked church members to attend the service and bring friends.
Social media users mocked the apple blessing ritual online. Many people compared the fruit ceremony to previous controversial practices. Critics said Magaya takes advantage of poor and desperate citizens. Zimbabwe struggles with economic problems that affect many families. Some observers believe religious leaders exploit people during hard times.
Magaya has caused debates before with unusual healing claims and miracle products. His ministry attracts many followers but also draws strong criticism. Legal experts want government officials to investigate his activities. They worry about vulnerable people being misled through religious practices. Human rights groups call for better rules to protect citizens.
Financial regulators and government institutions face pressure to take action. Critics argue that current laws do not properly control religious organizations. One legal expert said authorities must separate real faith from fraudulent behavior. Magaya continues his ministry despite the growing opposition. The controversy highlights ongoing concerns about religious accountability throughout Zimbabwe.
