A man named Talent Madungwe got in trouble for driving without a license and causing an accident. The court gave him a suspended prison sentence and community service as punishment. The accident happened in August 2024 when Madungwe's car hit another car. Madungwe was driving a donated car without a license at the time. He is now going to do community service to make up for his mistake. This shows that even if you do something wrong, you can make up for it by helping others.

Madungwe To Perform Community Service For Negligent Driving

Talent Madungwe, a controversial preacher based in Harare, is scheduled to be sentenced on October 9 by the Magistrates Court for violating the Road Traffic Act.
Madungwe, a self-proclaimed prophet, appeared before Epworth magistrate Tafadzwa Miti last week, where he pleaded guilty to charges of negligent driving and driving without a valid driver’s licence.
The court heard that on August 6, 2024, around 10 AM, Madungwe left his home on Airport Road in Hatfield, Harare and turned right onto the main road. 
He allegedly sideswiped Rutendo Kwinjo’s vehicle, a Nissan NP300 single cab with registration number ACG 8313, as both were travelling towards Harare CBD. Kwinjo’s vehicle sustained minor damage.
He initially appeared in Epworth Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday and was remanded out of custody to Thursday after Nyamutswa indicated that the State intended to amend the papers before he could be properly placed before the court.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) on Monday confirmed that Madungwe will be back in Court on Wednesday for sentencing.
Madungwe was among those who benefited from Wicknell Chivayo’s donations of Toyota Aquas.

"Prophet" Madungwe To Learn His Fate For Driving Without A Licence

Controversial Harare-based preacher, Talent Madungwe, can now sleep soundly at night after he settled his rental arrears with his landlord.
The self-styled prophet paid US$100 of the US$800 he owes his landlady in rental arrears early this month but his landlord, Gogo Mangena of Hatfield Harare, was not amused.
Madungwe had fallen foul of his landlord after he failed to pay his rentals for four months.
<a href="https://nehandaradio.com/2024/06/19/prophet-talent-madungwe-finally-settles-rental-arrears-after-blaming-the-devil/">Nehanda Radio</a> reported Gogo Mangena as saying the Exiles Desire of Nations founder had now made full payment and was thus in the clear. She said:
<blockquote>
Yes, he has paid the balance following the US$100 he first paid. All is well now.
</blockquote>
Madungwe blamed his financial challenges on evil forces, whom he claimed did not want him preaching the word of God.
However, his critics consider his claim of seeing God face to face and dining with the Almighty as blasphemous, and they believe he is now facing divine wrath.
Madungwe gave credit to United Kingdom-based entrepreneur and Pastor Chenai Marerwa, for giving him the money to clear his rental arrears. He said:
<blockquote>
I want to thank Pastor Chenai of El Bethel Global Ministries for helping me to settle my rental arrears.
The help came at a time when I am to celebrate my birthday tomorrow (Tuesday). I will be turning 38. Ndakura.

Madungwe Finally Settles 4 Months Rental Arrears

Self-proclaimed prophet, Talent Madungwe, who rose to fame a few years ago after claiming he met God in heaven and had a “braai” with the Almighty, is said to be in financial distress and can now barely afford to pay his rent.
According to <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/prophet-madungwe-falls-on-hard-times-fails-to-pay-rent-he-hasnt-paid-rent-for-four-months-he-claims-the-devil-is-now-fighting-him/">H-Metro</a>, the Exile Desire of All Nations founder may be evicted after he failed to pay rentals for almost four months at the house he is renting in Hatfield, Harare.
Madungwe’s 70-year-old landlady, Gogo Mangena, told H-Metro that he was even opting to leave without paying his rental arrears. She said:
<blockquote>
I was being silenced from demanding my rentals for some time.
Prophet Madungwe kwakutondidheerera vachingoti ndichabhadhara, ndichabhadhara.
I gave him a notice and he wants to leave without paying my money.
This is unfair considering that I respect him as a celebrity.
He wakes up daily and conducts three prayers without going to work.
Handidye minamato yake ini, ndinoda mari yangu. (I don’t eat his prayers, I want my money).
</blockquote>
Madungwe confirmed to H-Metro that he had fallen on hard times and was passing through trials. He said:
<blockquote>
Things have not been well for me since September last year.
Ukaona wakushaya mari yekubhadhara rent ziva kuti nevana varikutofa nenzara.
I am being attacked by the Devil because of preaching the word and many enemies are after my downfall, but I will not give up.
I have not been meeting God for talks for some time, besides that, God does not give us money but power to heal and raise the dead.
</blockquote>
The self-styled prophet has a minor child and his wife is expecting another child.
Madungwe’s critics consider his claim of seeing God face to face as blasphemous, and they believe he is now facing divine wrath.
