Thousands of followers of Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries, including a Government minister, thronged the church’s Waterfalls base yesterday a day after their leader Prophet Walter Magaya was arrested and arraigned before the court on rape charges.

Women Affairs, Gender and Community Development Minister Nyasha Chikwinya was part of the congregation that cheered Prophet Magaya as he walked into the auditorium.

Prophet Magaya arrived at around 3pm.

He received a standing ovation from his followers who appeared unmoved by the allegations being levelled against their leader.

Prophet Magaya took time to go to the over-floor to greet his followers who jostled to have him lay his hand on their heads.

In his address, Prophet Magaya avoided making reference to allegations he is facing before the court.

He concentrated on sermons and prayers.

Prophet Magaya and his followers took time to congratulate his wife, Tendai, who was celebrating her birthday yesterday.

The PHD leader was wearing a black suit and a matching waistcoat.

He was driving a black Mercedes-Benz.

On Saturday, Prophet Magaya appeared before provincial magistrate Mr Vakai Chikwekwe facing a rape charge that the State alleged occurred in June 2015.

He was remanded to September 6 this year on $2 000 bail coupled with stringent conditions.
