Harare:The man who predicted the rise of Robert Mugabe many years before independents, Madzibaba Wimbo, has reportedly identified the next leader.
Sources close to the ailing prophet say he recently prophesied that Zimbabwe’s next leader has a ‘foreign name”.
While many are speculating that he meant Sydney Sekeramai, nothing much has been said about the defense minister.
Wimbo also said none of the current front-runners eyeing who include First Lady Grace, Saviour Kasukuwere and vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa have a chance, a local paper said.
“He said that a new leader will emerge next year, but did not give names. However, he said the new leader is not among the current favourites who are engaged in Zanu PF’s succession battles, but is an outsider,” a church member said.
“The prophet said the person who will next lead Zimbabwe will have a ‘foreign name’ and that there will be great suffering in the country for some months. He also predicted that the army will intervene in politics,” added the source.
Mugabe’s deputy, Emmerson Mnangagwa, is tipped to take over from the nonagenarian, but Mugabe made it clear during a televised interview that none of his deputies have presidential credentials
