A prominent disciple of the late Nigerian televangelist Prophet TB Joshua has stirred significant concern and discussion across Africa with a new set of prophetic declarations for the coming years.
The Prophetic Forecast for 2026 and 2027
On Monday, December 15, 2025, Zimbabwean prophet Obey Tichafa Mukanhairi took to his verified X (formerly Twitter) page to unveil what he termed a "prophecy forecast" for 2026 and 2027. The cleric, based in Mpumalanga, South Africa, listed twelve specific predictions that have since captured the attention of Christian faithful and the wider public.
Among the most striking forecasts is the projected collapse of digital money and the downfall of what he describes as "very venomous politicians." Mukanhairi also warned of individuals demonstrating an inappropriate hunger for power through public rants. The prophecies extend across several African nations, predicting political and economic events.
Key Predictions from the Prophecy List
The detailed list shared by Prophet Obey Mukanhairi includes several region-specific forecasts:
- The collapse of digital currency systems.
- A shocking election outcome in Uganda, contrary to social media trends.
- A funeral for a president in East Africa.
- Stability for the Zimbabwean economy and improved fortunes for its ordinary citizens by 2027.
- The crumbling of two highly toxic politicians.
- Public displays of extreme power hunger by certain individuals.
- The passing of a Zimbabwean music legend.
- Waning influence for the ANC in South Africa's council and parliament elections.
- A succession dispute leading to a brawl in South Africa.
- A significant development involving a Zimbabwean cabinet minister.
- Legal troubles for the South African music duo, Tira and Maphorisa.
Connection to the Legacy of Prophet TB Joshua
The release of these prophecies brings renewed focus to the enduring legacy of Prophet Temitope Balogun (TB) Joshua, who died on June 5, 2021, at age 57. The founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) in Ikotun, Lagos State, was one of Africa's most influential yet controversial Christian figures.
TB Joshua's reach extended far beyond Nigeria, with a massive following across Southern Africa. His ministry attracted presidents, celebrities, and sports stars seeking spiritual intervention. Notably, the late Ghanaian President, John Atta Mills, visited SCOAN for a thanksgiving service in 2009 after Joshua accurately predicted his electoral victory.
However, his legacy is also marked by controversy, including the tragic collapse of a guesthouse within his church premises on September 12, 2014, which killed 116 people, including 84 South Africans. He also faced allegations of sexual abuse from some former female members, claims he denied.
Reactions and Wider Prophetic Landscape
The prophecies from TB Joshua's disciple emerge amidst a consistent stream of predictions from African clerics as the new year approaches. This phenomenon often sparks debates about faith, future-telling, and social commentary within a religious framework.
Mukanhairi's direct link to the late TB Joshua lends his pronouncements significant weight among the vast network of SCOAN followers and those who respected Joshua's ministry. The prophecies, touching on politics, economy, and celebrity, follow a pattern familiar to Joshua's own style of public forecasting.
As with all such prophecies, they are met with a mixture of belief, skepticism, and alarm, particularly when they foretell instability and loss. The coming years will reveal the accuracy of these specific predictions from one of the late prophet's top disciples.
