FOR someone who claims to be a seer and prophet who has been blessed enough to be allowed frequent visits to heaven, Prophet Madungwe — if at all we can call him that after his latest criminal rap — seems to have been abandoned by his supposed spiritual gift of prophesy at a time he needed it the most.
In his usual flair for the dramatic, Talent Madungwe decided to take his donated Toyota Aqua for a spin, but there was one problem — he didn’t have a driver’s licence.
And, as he would later find out, it was not a good idea.
As he tried to move onto the strip road near Airport Road, he performed a disastrous manoeuvre and side-swiped a Nissan NP300, damaging the vehicle’s load box.
The damage? Minor.
The foolishness? Major.
One would be forgiven for thinking that a man who claims to be on speed-dial with the Almighty would have seen this one coming.
He should have at least foreseen this little fender-bender.
Maybe his prophetic powers were stuck in traffic that day?
He should also have foreseen the consequences of such reckless behaviour.
But Madungwe has something to be thankful for.
He managed to avoid jail time by being handed a light sentence of 105 hours of community service.
How lucky!
His four months in the slammer were suspended, provided he refrains from being negligent behind the wheel for five years.
That might be a bit of a challenge for a man who seems to be permanently living on a different plane of existence.
So, while the truck’s load box gets fixed, Madungwe can enjoy his time sweeping the streets of Harare and wondering why the celestial courts didn’t intervene this time.
Maybe next time, the “prophet” should try performing his miracles on foot.
