In a bold and provocative statement, Apostle Talent Chiwenga has openly criticized prominent Prophet Ian Ndlovu, alleging that the latter’s acceptance of gifts from the controversial businessman and tenderpreneur Wicknel Chivhayo has severely undermined his spiritual integrity.

Chiwenga’s allegations come against a backdrop of increasing scrutiny over the influence of money in religious circles and the ethical dilemmas faced by religious leader.

During a recent sermon, Chiwenga referred to Ndlovu as “Wicknel Chivayo’s sidechick,” implying a troubling dependency that he believes diminishes Ndlovu’s credibility as a spiritual leader.
