Gabriel is supreme, he carries the blood of Jesus. Happiness to you! Amen!
So we can’t throw him away.
In this party we always say ‘Forward with Robert Mugabe’, and you also agree, isn’t it?
Congregation: It is.
Who is Mugabe, isn’t he the president?
For him to be named Gabriel, were there no other names to give him?
He is the chosen one. Happiness to you, Amen.
He was even ordained by Mbuya Nehanda [spirit medium] as somebody suitable to lead Zimbabwe. We shouldn’t just pick anything and vote for it to be the President of our country. You shouldn’t agree to such things.
Happiness to you, Amen.

We are sorry for some of our fellow black colleagues who meet and work with white people. It’s time now when the choice is either we loose the country or we hold onto it. Happiness Africa! Amen!
