Controversial man of cloth Prophet Passion Java’s mother and MDC senator, Christine Rambanepasi has jumped to her son’s defence and said she is proud she gave birth to him.
This comes after Passion Java set tongues wagging recently following the circulation of several videos in which he will be speaking in tongues.
In another clip he will be showing off his guns.
Internet users have slammed him for being ‘fake’ pastor while others simply dismissed it as a joke.
Despite the critics, Rambanepasi said she was glad she had sons who believed in God.
“I can proudly say that God blessed my womb because I gave birth to servants of God. My two sons prophet Passion and Apostle Java always pray for me and their prayers have made me who I am today.
It wasn’t easy raising my children as a widow but God has made all of my children successful and I am happy that this achievement I got has also made them proud,” she said.
Born Pangayi Java on October 29, 1987, Passion is the youngest child in a family of six, with three brothers and two sisters.
His elder brother Batsirai was married to the late MDC leader, Morgan Tsvangirai’s daughter, Vimbai.
According to his mother Passion started ministering while in primary school
Passion’s mother also revealed that his son dreamt about his fathers death at a young age.
” Pangayi stunned us one Tuesday morning back then, he woke us up one morning saying he had a dream to share with his father Charles Java and warned him not to travel to Buhera for a memorial. Defying his son he traveled to Chigavakava area and a day later he came back vomiting heavily. His father died Sunday that week in a suspected food poisoning case.”
She added that Passion had also warned his sister in law, Vimbai not to travel before she died after sustaining injuries in an accident.
“Prophet Passion sent a text message to his brother Apostle Java at 2 am. He told his brother to inform his wife to spend two-three weeks at home and not to drive any vehicle”.
Rambanepasi also joked about the guns he recently paraded on social media saying there are toys.
“Passion doesn’t need guns, he is a true man of God. Mwana akarongeka”, she said.
Prophet Passion recently acquired a US$94 000 property for his mother in Waterfalls as well as another in Dubai.
