A video of a prophet allegedly predicting the death of Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo has gone viral, sparking debate across social media. The clip, reshared on Wednesday, September 30, features a man identified as Prophet Emmanuel Adjei speaking into a microphone against a purple-lit studio backdrop. The footage was later paired in a reaction-style split-screen video, complete with English captions transcribing the prophecy word for word.
In the broadcast, Adjei claimed to have heard the name "Sir Wicknell" in the spirit and insisted the businessman's life was under threat. He described Chivayo as a man with a good heart for humanity and suggested that an orphan he had once helped had been praying and fasting for him, which is why his name had allegedly been revealed. Adjei warned that if prayers were not lifted, Chivayo would die by December.
The prophet envisioned a plane crash in a mountainous area, attributing the alleged danger to a jealous individual who had spiritually "crossed the hand" against Chivayo because of his success. Adjei urged viewers to pray for the businessman, saying the outcome was not sealed and could be averted through intercession. The video drew sharp and sometimes sceptical reactions from viewers, with many questioning why prayers were not offered immediately after the prophecy was made.
