Prophetic Healing Deliverance Ministries (PHD) leader, Walter Magaya on Thursday tore into Zifa, accusing the national football association of abusing the money he donates to the Warriors.
Magaya humiliated Zifa chief executive officer (CEO) Jonathan Mashingaidze at Rufaro in front of the players by openly claiming that Zifa had diverted the money to settle other debts at the expense of paying the players.

Magaya came to the Warriors rescue last week when he paid for their trip to an Afcon qualifier in Malawi, which they won 2-1. He also paid the players’ match appearance fees.
Before that, he gave the team R560 000 for preparations and allowances for the Cosafa Cup last month.
“I wasn’t very happy on the issue of the rands I gave to the players,” he said. “Some of them did not get it including the coach. “My support is going towards these boys. “Mr Mashingaidze my support is not for you or the Zifa side. “I am not a political person. “My support is for these guys, I am not supporting your side to clear your debts with this money. “You understand? Whatever I support is coming straight to these boys.”
Mashingaidze nodded endlessly as the preacher berated him and Zifa.
“I want to concentrate on these players and change their lives,” he continued.

“Whatever is happening at Zifa is not my concern.” Magaya then took the players for a private discussion, barring Mashingaidze from attending the address.
After the address, the prophet then took with him a few players, led by Cuthbert Malajila to give them allowances to be shared by the Warriors.
