Across the capital, Harare, tactically located billboards scream his Twabam tag phrase that has slowly cascaded into ghetto lingo, though the meaning is diverse, but often overused by the youths. But remember the word says, ‘touch not’ because you might be playing with fire.

Prophet Passion Java grew up surrounded by poverty in Chitungwiza. His childhood location of Unit D, a section known for abject poverty, prostitution, and criminal activities. Among the poverty, his talents were discovered early in life, with an ability to “see and interact with Angels.”

At school, he became a voice amongst his peers, prophesying and preaching the gospel. His prominence came around 2010, when he was only 22 years, drawing bumper crowds due to his accurate prophesies. “I was born with a special gift. When I was very young, I used to have strange dreams depicting me in heaven and surrounded by angels,” prophet Java reportedly said.
