Harare, Zimbabwe – In a development unlikely to appease his landlady, self-proclaimed Prophet Talent Madungwe has partially settled his outstanding rent, leaving questions about his financial situation and the responsibility of religious leaders.
Prophet Madungwe has been embroiled in a public dispute with his landlady, Gogo Mangena, over unpaid rent. Accumulating to a total of US$800, the arrears represent four months of missed payments for the two rooms he occupies in Hatfield.
A Glimmer of Hope, or a Calculated Move?
Prophet Madungwe recently announced a US$100 payment towards his outstanding balance. This partial settlement, however, falls far short of the total owed. While he expresses gratitude to a benefactor named Jan Jam for the donation that facilitated this payment, his landlady paints a different picture.Gogo Mangena confirms receiving only US$100, casting doubt on the actual amount donated or raising questions about the allocation of those funds.
Community Divided on Response:
The Prophet's attempt to address his financial obligations has elicited mixed reactions from his neighbors. While some express appreciation for those who offered assistance, others voice concerns about the underlying issues. One neighbor suggests that Prophet Madungwe "should seek employment instead of relying on prayers that give him a false sense of security."![]() |
