The petition read: ” Panganai Passion Java, a self proclaimed prophet, enjoys permanent resident status in the USA while he goes back to Zimbabwe to actively support a regime that is killing citizens, violating fundamental rights and stealing national resources. He uses State resources to move around the country buying votes for Mr. Emmerson Mnangagwa.
“The State Department of the United States has through it’s Secretary of State has the power to begin the process of revoking Mr. Passion Java’s permanent resident status. The USA policy is to support freedom, democracy and prosperity for the people of Zimbabwe and to this end has imposed restrictive measures on individuals who aide human rights violations and undermine democracy in Zimbabwe. Mr. Java is one such culprit and should be sanctioned and barred from coming to the USA and his accounts frozen,” read the petition.
Passion Java is a staunch supporter of ZANU-PF and of President Emmerson Mnangagwa. He has been spotted at the party’s events on a number of times.
The controversial cleric, who also sponsors musicians in Zimbabwe, also makes sure that some of the artists he sponsors give shout out to the President. In the song Patati Patata, by Roki, Congolese Kofi Olomide and Tanzanian Rayvanny, Kofi is also heard praising President Mnangagwa.-iharare
