PROPHETIC Healing and Deliverance Church leader Prophet Walter Magaya yesterday
filed a US$20 million lawsuit against Alpha Media Holdings over an article published
in the NewsDay insinuating that he faced murder charges following the death of a baby
boy at his church. The summons was filed yesterday at the High Court by Prophet
Magaya’s lawyer, Mr Everson Chatambudza of Rubaya and Chatambudza Legal
Practitioners, under case number HC6184-2014.

Prophet Magaya’s claim emanated from an article in NewsDay’s July 17 2014 edition
headlined “Magaya faces murder charges”. Popular Posts

In the plaintiff’s declaration, the lawyers argued that the article seriously damaged the
character of Prophet Magaya considering that he leads a church with a large following.

The prophet contends that the article was false and highly defamatory.
