Prophet Passion Java and Lily have finally tied the knot! A big congratulations to the duo. The couple is blessed with three children and Passion has another child with his ex-wife Yasmin whom he divorced shortly after meeting Lily.
His real name is Panganai Java, born on 29 October 1987. He grew up in Chitungwiza, Harare Zimbabwe.
LIFESTYLE AND CONTROVERSIES.
Java is known for flaunting his wealth/riches on social media and engaging in verbal war with many people. His Instagram page is full of flashy goods, properties, and vehicles. His gun collection, went viral on social media and drew a huge wave of criticism. He’s also heavily inked-up, but his tattoos have turned some ultra-conservative Christians away from his teachings.
EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION.
He claimed that he was dull in school and could not attend a better school because he failed to get the required grades. He had his secondary education at Seke 2 High School. Passion said this after his brother went on social media and begged the public to assist him with transport fare from South Africa.
R1.3 MILLION BAR BILL.
Allegedly, Java settled a very high bar bill in Pretoria in 2022. He had no problems with paying the 1.3-million-rand bill even if he was not in attendance of the party. Dozens of champagne bottles, expensive platters, and few drops of whisky featured on the bar bill.
A MIRACLE.
He started Kingdom Embassy as a prophet in 2010 at the Chitungwiza Aquatic Complex and grew to prominence when he was predicting phone numbers and ID numbers of audience members in services.
He allegedly performed a ‘miracle abortion’ on a woman who was four months pregnant.
TELEVISION CHANNEL.
Passion Java launched Kingdom TV when he was 25, which was facilitated by a UK network. He became one of the youngest people in the world to own his own station, setting a domestic record in the process.
SIDE HUSTLE.
Panganai has his own music recording label, PJ Records. In 2014, he and his ex-wife Yasmin opened a state-of-the-art studio that was meant to cater for gospel artists experiencing difficulties recording their music. The gospel musicians would record their music for free.
POLITICS.
Passion Java has openly campaigned for Zimbabwe’s ruling party, ZANU-PF. He publicly endorsed Emmerson Mnangagwa’s bid for re-election in 2023, and the president has invited PJ to the state house on several occasions. This is no surprise that he is involved in politics because his mother was a politician.
