MIAA cautions Malawi prophets over Covid-19: Hara fumes ‘we are not fake, Vilekeke’
The Malawi Interfaith Aids Association (MIAA) has expressed disappointment with opposing and misleading messages coming from prophets who are propagating that coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic is nonexistent.
MIAA board chairperson Bishop Gilford Matonga feared such messages have the potential to confuse Christians and cause them to stop observing Covid-19 prevention measures.
Matonga made the remarks in Lilongwe on Thursday during a meeting MIAA organized in conjunction with the Malawi Network of People Living with HIV and Aids (MANET+) for faith leaders on Covid-19. The meeting drew participants from various faith groups, including the Prophetic Ministries Association of Malawi (PROMAM).
He said as faith leaders, they must realize that their calling is too high for them to present misinformation to the masses on issues that are affecting them.
“We have been called upon to preserve the dignity of God’s principles first and only. We, as religious leaders, must avoid to be driven by personal praise and hand-clapping. This pandemic must present us with the opportunity to teach our masses messages of hope through promoting behaviours that should ensure their safety and protection,” he said.
Matonga stressed that preaching to people that there is no Covid-19 and that being diagnosed with the disease is a manifestation of lack of faith is not only being untruthful, but also dangerous.
“Men and women of God, we must desist from influencing people to be comfortable without prevention during this pandemic and be thinking that preventive measures are not God inspired. Scientific knowledge is, in fact, inspired by God and therefore adherence to the Covid-19 preventive measures is an obligation of a true believer,” he said.
On the other hand, Matonga stated that 53.8 percent of religious institutions in Malawi are experiencing significant financial difficulties and this has relatively affected the church’s ability to support her operations, including paying staff members.
But the meeting did not go without drama as PROMAM president, Senior Prophet Justice Hara, lashed out at the government for sidelining the association in its activities and programmes.
Hara cited the recent gazetted guidelines for fighting Covid-19, which he said, were made without their input.
He warned that as an association, it has a large following, which it can influence either to support or thwart interventions that the government develops in the fight against the pandemic.
“Do not despise the wisdom of the fools in their majority. We are in majority and we have thousands and thousands of people who are following us. Even in those in the State, we control. We refuse to be taken for granted. We are a mother body. We are all concerned. But we are saying: we need to be consulted. Why did you leave out PROMAM?” he asked.
“Mkufuna kutipeperesa. Ndiye sitikufuna tipepere nawo. AYI! We are a separate and independent mother body. We have got prophets from across the country. We have the power within our capacity to disseminate information very well.
“We have heard that some mother bodies have received money from the government. ECM [Episcopal Conference of Malawi] has received K46 million while the Synod [Nkhoma Synod of the CCAP] has got K40 million for implementation of Covid-19 interventions. Where is the money for PROMAM? We are not fake leaders. Vilekeke vilekekerekethu! Takwiya pano!” fumed Hara.
In his response, Presidential Advisor on Religious Affairs, Reverend Brian Kamwendo, while acknowledging the concerns raised by the association, dismissed as “untrue” that the government had given out money to main religious mother bodies.
Kamwendo said there was no way the government could support a few churches to respond to the pandemic.
“Be assured that no church has received money from the government. However, I should emphasize here that I have taken note of your concerns and I will forward them to the Presidential Taskforce on Covid-19,” he assured.
Kamwendo also took advantage of the plenary session to advise PROMAM to address leadership issues in their body, stressing that the government has been recognizing Prophet David Mbewe as the sitting chairperson of the association.

The evil ppo do not understand the justice but those who trust Jesus Christ understand all, guys do not judge the them, thus say The Lord do not touch the anointed one hara is a prophet of God
Some prophets of doom! Comments in part in Tumbuka to ensure only their folks get the message loud and clear.
Ask yourself are there prophets in Israel today. Fake ones like you are stoned to death. Loafers do not just wake up and claim to be prophets like it’s common here.
Was it a Tumbuka gathering? Why vilekeke, why speaking Tumbuka when you know some would not understand? Selfishness. Fake “profits.” Don’t you know God is speaking to his people directly through this COVID-19 that all those who have been deceiving them over the years as “prophets” have been speaking their own minds not God’s. You are all exposed. Rev Kamwendo was just diplomatic but your arguments are lousy, meaningless and stupid.. Fool.
Apa mwaonekera ngamba basi mapolofiti akuba inu. Bambo wanu Bushiri anathawa ku sasafirika. Kuba basi. Ngakale boma LA a chakwera silinga apereke ndalama ku ECG anthu akukuziwani bwino bwino inu. Chilichonse kwa inu nchogulisa. Munakakhala mapulofeti owona mulungu akanakuonesani za Covid19. Lero mulibe chonena. Offering kulibe chaka Chino. Pangani miracle money ija apa
Chimene munthu wakuda anakwanitsa chobwera ndi mzungu ndi kupemphera basi. Kukonza galimoto ayi. Kuyendetsa dziko ayi (dpp and udf). Kukonza misewo yabwino ayi. Commercial farming ayi. Kukonza mankhwala ayi. Kukonza ma computer ayi. Kudzipatsa dzina la u prophet. Mumanenera za ku tsogolo inu? Bwanji simunanene kuti kubwera kolona akutipha inu ndi anthu ena tonse. Bwanji wina uja sanalote kuti apolisi amumanga ku South Africa? Lero muli busy enanu kutengera za Magufuli yet anthu akutha uku.
Kkkkk! Mwatchera ku mwezi nkhanga zaona. Pano mwaonekera ng’amba kuti ndinu mafeki profeti kumangoba ndalama za anthu muli phee. Koma mudwaleko corona yi ndi pamene mutsimikize kuti kulidi matenda. Ndinu aThomas Didimu. Kalimeni usamangokolora popanda kulima aHara.
What if those prophets are right about what they are saying. Sometimes you may think you know better than these prophets yet you’re spiritually ignorant.
Let people believe in what they want to believe in surely i know they nolonger believe in POLITICIANS.
If and only if you’re sure that they are fake then there is a problem.
If what I have read is true, then this MIAA thing and the Bishop have an agenda to destroy the prophetic ministry and confuse the prophets. He wants to make Prophets fight each other I. E. Prophet Mbewe and Prophet Hara but he wants Prophet Bushiri to be precise. I speak Isiah 7v7 over this. It shall not happen. You want to fight prophetic ministry and confuse the prophets O nooo. God have mercy, whoever has paid you to do this, I speak the spirit of the Lord to intervene, in Jesus name.
Koma ndaseka senior prophet junior prophet? How does one qualify for senioroty? Number of prophecies? Komanso senior prophet I think some churches like catholic ccap Adventist and Anglican have health outreach programs including hospitals and education services. Senior prophet inu zanu zili kuti. SAD mulungu tu amaona dzanja lake limagwira ntchito akafuna. Tiyeni tisamuipitsire dzina lake. Akutsitsani mumtengo mwakwera wo
so there is leadership wrangles at PROMAM, tell us who is the president of PROMAM, Hara or Mbewe? thereafter let the president of the group come back with your concerns. kkkkkk viva Malawi
The love of money is the root of all evil.The majority of people who attend churches if not all follow JESUS not these so called prophets.Therfore it is blasphemy to say that they have large followers.We follow JESUS not money lovers.
Don’t ever hate prophets, they also preach Jesus. gold and silver belong to Jesus and those who believe in Him. If you don’t love money, then remain poor as you, moreover its your choice
So prophets are claiming they have huge followers? I thought these pipo come following the word of God? So prophets have more followers than God?
The same prophet who was bonking his friends wife? Fake Prophet uyu angofuna money.
Iwe idiot Hara! Heal those sick from the disease and your will more money than you ever dreamed of in your fake life!
Mxiiiii
Olo muwanyoze, they are still our prophets and there is nothing you can do about it. Just let go your ego and arroganc
you and those false prophets ; you are on your way to HELL if you do not repent, hellian, heathen followers;(Jeremiah 23:21,25,30-32). FALSE PROPHETS
So the bullshit crooks belong to PROMAM. Noted
Yes, you must take note
Dzimbava zachabe chabe izi. China ndichimene chathawa ku South Africa after kubela anthu kumeneko.
Difficult times like these is when people show their true colours. It is a shame that a lot of the followers of these prophets are myopic. How low are these so called prophets gonna go? Good people are dying and all you think of is money. Now we know it’s all business.
My understanding is that prophets are able to ‘see’ ahead! If these are genuine prophets then they should have foreseen the covid 19 and planned ahead to keep money reserves! The most fake one is ‘prophet’ Hara and he is bitter that his coffers are now empty! God is not happy with angry people, let alone with fake ‘prophets’. Their only worry is money, money and money and not the lives of Malawians. Now they want a subsidy from government (from our taxes) as if they offer essential services! And they do not even pay taxes themselves, Shame on them! Government should not succumb to their demands for any subsidies and should also maintain the 50 people only per meeting. Any violator, like Hara should be arrested and put behind bars. There are more important issues to worry about (schools, hospitals, etc) than these FAKE ‘prophets’ who have nothing to offer in the fight against the pandemic.
Ndarama za odwala ndi owasamalira mu zipatara mwayambapo kukanganirana in the name of chikristu. Ambuye Mulungu akukantheni Ezekiel 21 verse 31. Mulibiretu ndi manyazi antaaa!
How many prophets do we need? How useful are they?
They are not useful at alllll. There relevance is not relevant.
Obviously it’s about money when it comes to prophet. You are fake prophets looking for profits from the poor masses
Kodi MIAA ndi chiani kodi? Chimathandawuza chiani ie
Stupid ProFAKES progessing to a religion that disregards your ancenstry. You are all gold diggers.
ProFAKES my foot
This misinformation was started by Tonse Alliance.
This is the only comment so far I have seen that it makes sense. You are 101% right “Mayo Mayo Ine,” the origin of this misinformation emanated from the Tonse Alliance when you were busy telling peope that there is no covid 19 in Malawi, this has now turned against you.
Who is this so called Senior Prophet… Za ziiiiiii
Episcopal conference and The synod can show us their contributions. Inu kaya mukuti PRO chani please show us exactly what you have done in this country
Hahaha Prophets with an association. All they think is about is money money money! The kingdom of God is not about lucre… You will perish together with your lucre. The world will never be the same again where you so called ‘prophets’ were busy brainwashing the lambs in the Lord’s flock. Ma profit inu mulape otherwise Ambuye akukanthani! If you don’t repent you will perish in this life and in the life to come. Ali ndi makutu wamva.
Money money money koma ndalama. Nkhani ndi cash. Maluzi abvuta
This Hara sounds like a complete idiot. Not fit for the priesthood.
Apa nkhani yavuta ndi Ndalama.
The kovid19 is not anchoring our fake prophets they are either drowning or sinking. What inputs can come from the pastors that dupe the innocent followers? Minting wealth from the innocent followers is a treacherous business. Moreover it’s the government that has a pool of medical expertise not the indolent prophets who now haven’t even claimed to have healed one covid patient. Charlatans with frivolous claims on followership take your followers onto the streets the government hold on covid handling won’t be capsized the canoe has a scientific radar not fuming at nothing. The Bible has basic science interpretation of illnesses now the modern day religious morons use threats to gain religious space.
Our current situation cannot allow our government to busying itself consulting people who are money predators
PROMAM woye!!! Maprophet woye!!! Mukufuna ndalama zandani when your churches dont pay tax? Anthu awa obadwa dzulo ndimawutumiki onyenga azativuta bwanji. Anthu akufa kunja uko koma iwo akuganiza zandalama basi. Malawi sadzatheka ndithu.
