Walter Magaya, known for his remarkable 'ability' to perform miracles, has proven that his divine interventions are insufficient for earthly processes after he suffered a significant setback in his bid to become a part of the Zimbabwe Football Association leadership.

High Court judge Justice Tawanda Chitapi has dismissed Magaya's challenge to his disqualification as a candidate for the upcoming ZIFA elections, slated for Saturday in Harare with a pun on the religious leader's miracle claims by saying that it would take evidence of qualifications and not prayer for Magaya to win his suit.

Magaya's disqualification stemmed from his failure to meet the minimum educational requirement of five O' Levels. Despite his claims of holding higher qualifications, the court upheld the requirement, stating that even a PhD holder would need to produce an O' Level certificate to meet the eligibility criteria.

In a dramatic turn of events, Justice Chitapi emphasized that Magaya had been evasive in disclosing further information about his qualifications, which could have potentially corrected the committee's decision. As a result, Magaya's application was dismissed, but each party was instructed to bear their own costs.

This setback marks a rare instance where Magaya's influence and reputation as a miracle-worker could not sway the outcome.

His PHD Ministries have garnered a massive following, and his claims of performing miracles have been widely reported.

However, it seems that even Magaya's own recently launched miracle card being sold to followers to make their dreams come true failed to deliver for the miracle worker.
