President blasts fake prophets
PRESIDENT Mugabe has lashed out at politicians who waste money consulting prophets to advance their political ambitions.
He said given the high level of literacy in Zimbabwe, it was mind-boggling how educated people fell prey to the tricks of the so-called prophets.

“Vamwe vari kuenda zvino vachida kunzwa kuti vanongoramba vakadaro here kana vachapfuurira kuenda kumusoro,” he said. “Maelections ari kuuya aya, ah, mapastor anogarawo akagadzirirazve.
