Prophet sues broadcaster over Liverpool title prediction
A Zimbabwean prophet has launched a $1.5m legal claim against a South African sports broadcaster over its claim he predicted Liverpool would win this season's English Premier League. Spirit Embassy Church leader Uebert Angel ([pictured) denies making the prediction, which was reported on SuperSport's website in December. Liverpool are currently second in the league with 10 games to play. But Angel feels his reputation will be damaged if they do not win the title. A summons in Harare High Court read: "The plaintiff claims the sum of $1,500,000 considering his character and stature as a prophet with great following... who is respected the world over by religious, social and political leaders." Angel says he is entitled to compensation as it would be "difficult to rehabilitate completely a reputation even if it is proved in court that the statement was misguided...". SuperSport Communications Manager Clinton Van Der Burg told BBC Sport: "SuperSport is aware of the matter. SuperSport denies liability and will contest the charges vigorously." Angel said that Johannesburg-based SuperSport published the story under the headline: "Zimbabwean prophet predicts Liverpool to win title." The Herald newspaper, quoted the Angel as saying: "Liverpool, I am with you this year and God has shown me he is returning you to your glory days." SuperSport broadcasts live English Premier League matches in several African countries.

I resurrected 29 people, says Uebert Angel
In June 2 years ago, Prophet Angel spent time with former president Nelson Mandela at his home in Qunu. Sources say the prophet’s wife Beverly is a close friend of the Mandela family. Prophet Angel also claims to have a soup kitchen in the poor neighbourhood of Highfield in Harare where thousands of widows and orphans are fed every day.
He also says he pays the school fees for those who can’t afford to do so and builds houses for the homeless. Asked how he managed to meet Nelson Mandela during one of his visits to Mzansi when so many world leaders and Hollywood A-listers wait for years for a brief moment with the apartheid struggle icon, Prophet Angel says, “To God, everyone is a soul, and by the grace of God, 1 have met many, including leaders of nations, billionaires and the poorest of the poor. “To say what I meet them for or why they meet me would mean I should tell you why everyone meets me and I just don’t have the time to do that and I never will. “Besides, Mandela is an international icon and in the words of Barack Obama ‘an inspiration to the world’, of which I am a citizen.” Drum attended one of his Sunday services the day after the interview and a South African woman gave testimony that she had been healed of HIV.
When we talk to him about this after the service he says he has cured cancer sufferers and even resurrected 29 people from the dead. There seems to be no end to Prophet Angel’s powers, and to put him to the test we watch closely his prophesy of the World Cup qualifier match to be played between Sweden and Ireland in a few days’ time. — Drum

The following is the full unedited Forbes Magazine story:
The BBC calls him young and charismatic. Uebert Angel is an enigma who has private audiences with heads of state, parliamentarians, philanthropists, billionaires and once the late world icon, Nelson Mandela.
Business analysts have argued that his unlimited access to world leaders and leading businessmen has given Angel an advantage over his peers in the real estate business.
Regardless of this, Angel, after close investigation, is one of the thousands of successful entrepreneurs across Africa who are creating million-dollar fortunes. These entrepreneurs do not inherit wealth; they earn it.
The prophet, a former finance lecturer and financier by profession, has two degrees from the Salford University in Britain. He has business experience and qualifications.
He also obtained a postgraduate degree at Bolton in Manchester and has a pending Masters’ degree in applied philosophy from the University of Wales in Cardiff.
His eye for the finer things in life facilitated his business acumen. In 2005, Angel established Club Millionaire, a concierge establishment providing services to the cash-rich but time-poor individuals around the globe.
Angel timed the launch of his business well. He set up his company long before the concierge boom flooded the industry in 2102 to secure his fortune. He then ventured into real estate, starting with residential and then moving into developing commercial properties.
His real estate construction companies traded under various holdings and trusts in Europe, Africa and Asia.
He then forayed into building a noteworthy media empire, with secular and lifestyle television channels and a Christian charitable record label that owns the rights to the music of multi-award winning artists like Sonnie Badu.
Aside from Africa, some of Angel’s companies are registered in Europe and Hong Kong. Hong Kong is favourable due to investments not being taxed in the region.
The corporate profits rate is 16,5 percent, there is no capital gains tax and no accumulated earnings taxes on companies that retain earnings rather than distribute them.
Angel is reputed to have such a keen business sense and entrepreneurial skill that he is able to start small companies and grow them. He then sells them and invests the money in real estate and other projects.
In February, he bought Great Hampton Limited in Britain, a company with 30 000 square feet of choice real estate as its chief asset.
The structure, which is close to the Birmingham University School of Law, is said to be valued at around $2 million and will be worth more after the renovations and improvements he is putting in place.
The Zimbabwe-born British national, who is also the bestselling author of Healing is Easy and a sought-after conference speaker, was voted the most influential Zimbabwean last year and won the Newsmaker Award in the same year.
He is also a Peace Ambassadorial Award recipient.
His fame is huge and his contacts impressive. He has presidents and the rich in his speed dial.
There is a lot more to Angel than just business. He is a strong believer in the Giving Pledge initiative, founded by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, which encourages wealthy people to donate at least half of their money to charity.
The Giving Pledge has so far persuaded more than a hundred billionaires to give the majority of their wealth to charities. South African billionaire Patrice Motsepe is on that list.
While Angel is not in their league, he has engaged in philanthropic endeavours which have not gone unnoticed.
Last year, after a donation of $1,4 million was given to him by friends and well-wishers for his birthday, he donated all of it to charity.
Using his own resources, Angel is also building houses for the poor and helping parents pay school fees in what he and his wife, Beverly, the patron of Hand of Mercy (Home) have called Adopt a School-Adopt A Child programme. Hand of Mercy intends to help at least 100 000 people by 2017, a feat he says is possible if they concentrate on community development rather than individuals.
While Angel has a lot of business interests, there is another side to him that has attracted the world’s attention.
He is a staunch believer in Christ and claims to have the gift of prophecy. Some argue that his businesses and his contacts have grown primarily because of this.
Others stress that he is the darling of the masses because he helps the less-fortunate. Angel returned to Africa from Britain while his business empire was at its peak, to help develop the continent.
Such is his influence in Africa that when he moved back to Zimbabwe, the Christian organisation he started, Spirit Embassy grew from 12 to 5 000 people in four weeks and is now approaching the 10 000 mark.
His business adventures have slowed down since the media latched onto his uncanny ability to predict events.
He has given accurate prophecies about the deaths of Michael Jackson and former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, the Kenya Mall massacre among many world events.
His predictions include the date and time, even a year before they occur, putting him on the forefront of the prophetic movement in southern Africa.
Last year, media reports claimed Angel was worth $60 million, a figure he denies. His wife backs him up on this subject.
Beverly, a former finance lecturer, exudes humility. She is intelligent, but an individual of few words. When asked about her husband, she will only talk about their charitable initiatives.
“Whatever you find or see is already committed to our very own giving pledge initiative, so, come to think of it, what do we really own if it is all for philanthropy. Zero is the answer!”
Angel’s success is clear but there is still a lot about him that is shrouded in mystery. — Forbes Africa

Pastor labels Makandiwa, Uebert Angel ‘cheats’
GODWIN Chitsinde, the leader of a Harare-based church, the Spoken Word Ministries, on Sunday launched a scathing attack on popular prophets – Temitope Balogun (TB) Joshua of Nigeria, United Families International Church (UFIC) founder Emmanuel Makandiwa and Spirit Embassy leader Uebert Angel Mudzanire – accusing them of cheating their followers. Sources who attended Chitsinde’s Sunday church service in Belvedere said the sermon was a no-holds-barred show as the man of the cloth dressed down his own.
Chitsinde told reporters he had no regrets over his message and threatened to expose what he termed a “new wave of prosperity gospel preachers” if they dared to sue him over his remarks.
“This rising-up of prophets shows a pattern of people who get into the ministry for money after observing how others have had a mixture of fame and fortune, having made lots of money.
“It is very unfortunate that when you look at people like Angel, they use trickery to detect people’s phone numbers. These are Nigerian games,” Chitsinde said.
He challenged the media to probe how people who attended church programmes led by the prophets ended up having money miraculously credited into their accounts.
This was in apparent reference to a recent programme held in Botswana where 34-year-old Angel astonished people when they received money in their pockets, hands and bank accounts.
“There is no God who operates like that because these are old Nigerian tactics to rob people of their cash. That was a stage-managed act just like TB Joshua’s. The only difference is that TB Joshua is more sophisticated and smarter: If God wants to bless you, He uses people. There needs to be an investigation to establish where the money that people received came from. From which accounts did the money come? This is nonsense, rubbish,” said the cleric.
He said it could not be ruled out that some prosperity preachers were using juju and misleading people in the process and implored the media to unearth the truth.
“All this is sinister. That is why you see money changing into leaves. This is a result of questionable prophecies. The media must be committed to expose these things. You need to interview these prophets and see if you can establish their credibility,” Chitsinde said.
Sometime last year, a woman, Tambudzai Precious Chinyaka, who identified herself as a member of Makandiwa’s UFIC, bought goods worth almost $500 with money that reportedly changed into avocado leaves once it got into the till operator’s hands in Mabvuku suburb in Harare.
“I am equally shocked. I don’t do juju. I go to the UFI Church and I was shocked to see that the money had turned into leaves. I do not know what happened,” Chinyaka was later quoted as saying.
