WARRIORS sponsor Prophet Walter Magaya’s relationship with ZIFA has apparently hit an iceberg after the Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries leader on Monday threatened to pull out of the deal.

Magaya, who provided the Warriors with exquisite camping facilities ahead of their 3-0 win in the 2019 AFCON qualifier against Liberia said he was reviewing the marriage following a fallout with coach Norman Mapeza.

Apparently, the Warriors had one of their best preparations for an international match at Magaya’s Yadah Complex. But as the nation should be coming together to celebrate the big win, ZIFA and their benefactor find themselves at odds. 

Magaya was reportedly not happy by words attributed to Mapeza on Sunday evening when he excused himself from joining the rest of the team at the PHD church service.

The development should come as a huge setback for ZIFA as the prophet had pledged to support the Warriors in all their endevours into the future. 

“If hosting a national team cause a problem, whereby even the head coach is not happy, I then may not be able to continue. Not because I cannot afford it but I don’t want to cause any commotion or any problem. 

“It must be a choice for someone to be part of us and my aim is never to cause havoc but to cause peace and love. I respect the head coach of the national team and I salute him for the win. I give it all to him and he has done very well. 

“But just for a record I am a family, we are a family and we think that the team did good by coming to the church. Failing to come to the church of the head of the team and what I heard that he said at the gate shows that maybe I have done a mistake. I wouldn’t want to continue to do a mistake. 

“So from next time, maybe until I speak to the president of ZIFA and team manager Wellington Mpandare, but for now my decision is I don’t want to disturb them again, their peace,” said Magaya.

The prophet however said he will fulfill his promise to give each player $1 000 for the win.

“I’m still standing with the surprise gesture to the Warriors of the $1 000. I said it live on TV so I will give them the $1 000. But what I’m saying is until I speak to the president and Mpandare for now as I stand I don’t want to disturb their peace because my aim was peace,” said Magaya.
