Harare Prophet, Tinashe Michael Sello, has been slapped with a US$350 000 defamation claim by South Africa-based businessman, Moreboys Munetsi.

Munetsi claimed his business had suffered losses since Prophet Sello’s prophecy alleging he used juju to enrich himself.

Munetsi filed a letter of demand to the under-fire prophet through his legal team Tarugarira Sande Attorneys on Tuesday.

The damages arise from the statements allegedly made by the prophet on his social media platforms on November 6 insinuating that Munetsi “akanoromba”.
