Police spokesman, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said more details will be revealed after the investigations. He said “Yes, we have received reports of the fire incident at a hotel in Waterfalls. Investigations are still underway,”.
However , some of the people on social media who are followers of Prophet Magaya are saying that there is a foul play on the issue and they suspect that the recent rape victim’s parents are involved in the matter.
PHD Ministries also said that they suspect that the fire could have been started by Prophet Magaya’s enemy .
Some however accused Magaya of setting his hotel on fire so that he can claim insurance as he has got several debt burdens on his back.
PHD spokesman Overseer Admire Simango said, “Around 5:30 PM I received a call that there was a raging fire at the hotel. I contacted security people on the ground about what had happened, but they seemed not to be aware of everything that was happening,” he said.
“What is very strange under these circumstances is that there was no electricity as usual. I am told the generator was off, but there was a fire from nowhere. While I am not pointing to anything, we are smelling a rat. It is very clear the circumstances are not normal given the fact that there was no electricity or gas nearby.
“We do not rule out foul play. Police are investigating and we do not want to jump to conclusions. The police will give us full information, but the preliminary findings point to the fact that there could be foul play and we are very suspicious of whatever is happening, given the events of the last few days. We can tell that there is an underhand in all that is happening,” he said.
Prophet Magaya, however according to Simango is calm about the issue and he said he is not disturbed by the tragedy.
“The man of God is in a jovial mood, nothing is going to disturb the ministry and the upcoming event in Botswana. The man of God has taught us that when the enemy comes in, like a flood, the Lord raises his bar,” said Overseer Simango.
He also said the hotel will continue to operate normally although the affected section will be closed for renovations.
