Said Chiza:<\/p>\n<p>Mahachi is one of my sons and I will never abandon him. He has been in touch and I told him that this is a spiritual attack.<\/p>\n<p>The church is praying for him, the mother (Maritha Ndlovu) and the child.<\/p>\n<p>The elders have taken it upon themselves to pray for Mahachi. The whole family is in our prayers.<\/p>\n<p>Chiza revealed that Mahachi pleaded innocence, saying he was being framed for deliberately scalding his son with boiling water. He said:<\/p>\n<p>As I said, I am in touch with Mahachi and he told me that he is not at fault. He says he is innocent and did not do what he is accused of.<\/p>\n<p>I cannot tell you everything we discussed, but what I can say is that this is a spiritual attack and only prayer can give us answers.<\/p>\n<p>Mahachi has been a member of Eagle Life Ministries for nearly 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors winger has previously testified that his success as a footballer is a result of Chiza\u2019s blessings and prayers.<\/p>\n<p>Mahachi has played for Chicken Inn, Highlanders, Sundowns, Golden Arrows, Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United. Added Chiza:<\/p>\n<p>I intend to visit the son and mother in the hospital when time permits, but at the moment the church elders will do so.<\/p>\n<p>What happened to the child is unfortunate and at this period what is important is the child\u2019s health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
