HARARE – The leader of the Prophetic Healing and Deliverance (PHD) Ministries, Prophet Walter Magaya has pledged $20 000 towards the cost of treatment for former Studio 263 actress, Pretty Xaba.
Time was running out for Xaba who was scheduled to undergo emergency surgery in India this month. Xaba was diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus last month and a total of $10 000 is needed for her to undergo the surgery. A total of $2 400 had already been raised including an air ticket to and from India.
Talent Mango, a PHD official, is quoted saying “She visited the prophet on Wednesday and she was given a choice either to take $20 000 for medication in India or receive spiritual help and settle for local doctors. Now she is still in a dilemma,” he said.
Xaba has been wasting away due to her deteriorating condition, which has been worsened by delays in accessing surgery owing to financial problems. Two weeks ago, musicians and other artistes held a benefit concert at the Book Café in a bid to raise funds for Xaba’s surgery.
Xaba’s sister-in-law confirmed meeting Prophet Magaya to seek spiritual help in a bid to save the former Studio 263 actress. Taonga Mafundikwa, co-ordinator of the “Lets Help Pretty Xaba campaign”, said they were still looking for funds and hoped by Monday Xaba would be able to fly to India.
Mafundikwa said the actress was in critical condition and the surgery was long over due.
“Pretty is in a critical condition and needs to go for the surgery as soon as yesterday. We just have the ticket but the money is not yet enough for her to leave the country. She is now on a strong drug called morphine and she spends the better part of her day sleeping,” he said.
