THE congregants of the Johane Masowe yeChishanu of St Daniels in New Lobengula suburb in Bulawayo have expressed their excitement over a “white cloth” which they refer to as a television which allegedly shows them a clear picture of people involved in their downfall.
The “white cloth” is believed to have some powers which allow members of the church to identify the witches and wizards who are allegedly destroying their lives.

The founder of the apostolic sect, Dr Abel indicated, that the white cloth which is popularly referred to by the members of the congregation as a “television” has changed the lives of a number of people.
“The room has a white cloth, and when one gets inside the room they sit down and face this white cloth which shows them their life story and the people who are making some evil plots against them.
“This is a cloth that was prayed for and is used to authenticate prophecies. In this room, if there are four different people, the “television” is able to show their different life stories according to their lineage,” he said.

Dr Abel stated that the “television” is able to help people dealing with murder cases which happen in foreign lands.
“This ‘television’ not only helps people who are facing challenges like witchcraft but it helps in dealing with cases of people who were killed in foreign lands by showing you a clear picture of what happened in the particular case. It shows the culprits, their accomplices and the concoctions that were used to disrupt the lives of the people,” he said.
The congregants of the church expressed their amusement over the solutions that they got after seeing the ‘television’.
Lovemore Ndlovu from Lupane, Matabeleland North province shared his testimony and indicated that the “television” showed him the source of his problems.
“I first received a prophecy about the challenges that l was facing in my life and I proceeded to the room with the white cloth. I saw a clear picture of my life and it showed me everything that my enemies had done to cause the challenges that l was facing. I was able to identify some of my relatives and friends who had visited a number of wizards to destroy my life.
“The television showed me the concoctions, the witches and wizards that these people went to and I am glad that after the encounter all my problems have been solved and my health has been restored,” he said.
Another congregant, Nicodemus Sigauke from Gokwe indicated that when he heard about the “television” he had his doubts.
“The first time when l heard about the ‘television’, I was bewildered and l could not believe that because it seemed to be a mystery. The day came for me to enter the place with the ‘television’ and to my surprise, I saw everything about my life. It even showed me some people who went as far as Chipinge to destroy my life. It also showed me some of my relatives who used my money to bewitch me, I saw things that l had never seen in my entire life,” he said.
Sigauke indicated that he had been sick for over three years and after the encounter, he is recovering.
“I was sick for about three years, l was not able to do anything but I am glad that after the encounter I got prayed for and I am recovering,” he said.
Another congregant, Felistus indicated that she was having some sharp pains on her body and after the encounter she was healed.
“The day I entered the place with the ‘television’, I saw everything about my life including my childhood memories. I saw the people who were responsible for the sicknesses that l had been having and I am glad that after that day, l have never been sick,” she said.
