“The grace period for your days in the office as President of the Republic of South
Africa has come to an end. Today, the 18th August 2022, marks the last 10 working days
in the office Mr President. I release this message, with respect, conviction and as compelled
by the Spirit of God. You are being released from the office because time has come.”
Those are the opening words of a declaration which prophetess Vuyokazi Matu spoke out at the visitors’ entrance of Parliament in Cape Town a week ago — on Thursday August 18 in obedience to instructions she says she received from the Lord.
“I don’t know what will happen. I don’t know the sequence of events from here. I only know that I have declared what He told me to declare. If I look like a fool, it’s okay,” said Matu, who feels like she has completed a divine assignment which began in March last year when she sent an email to President Ramaphosa stating that God was calling on the ANC leadership to hand over the reigns of power within 10 days to the government of God led by Chief Justice Mogoeng.
Matu, who leads a an intercessory prayer group called “The Governmental Prayer Altar”, has ministered prophetically, face-to-face, with several prominent political leaders since sending her word to the president last year, an action that was met with a mixed response in Christian circles.

“I would love to live my normal life. I would love to not be controversial. I would love to just be at peace with my children who need me,” she said, describing how she wrestled with the Lord over her latest assignment, which she said began about three weeks ago when God instructed her to apply for a permit to hold a gathering at Parliament on August 18. But the Lord was adamant she should see it through, and assured her he would give her the strength she needed.
She said that when she obeyed God’s instruction to apply for a parliamentary permit — just before she left for Ghana to attend a Kingdom leadership course — she had no idea what the Lord had planned for August 18.
In fact, by August 17 — the day before she was supposed to go to Parliament — she was still uncertain about her mission. That day she sensed that the Lord was saying He wanted to finish what He had started. So, she and a ministry partner, Clementia Pae, who she had asked to stand with her in prayer, went to bed early so they could wake up at midnight to pray.

She said when she woke up at midnight she felt a peaceful assurance that God was going to speak to her and she sat at her computer and began to type the message which she later declared at Parliament and also sent to Ramaphosa via email addresses she had for the Office of the President.
She said it was cold and rainy at the time she stood in front of Parliament and read out her message to the president as Pae recorded and streamed the declaration on Facebook Live. A police officer asked them what they were doing and she showed him their permit. She said there were some technical glitches with recording the message but it did get out, and two days later, when she went to Kayelitsha to speak at a women’s conference some women recognised her as the “woman who spoke in front of Parliament”.
The message to Ramaphosa says that an intense spiritual attack is being waged against the destiny of SA and that “what the country is up against cannot only be resolved by intellect but by spiritual skilfulness under the leadership of the Holy Spirit”. It also states that God has raised righteous rulers to deliver SA at this time.

You are making Christianity a laughing stock by publishing articles of this nature. Our mandate is to pray for our leaders, not to prophesy over them that their days are numbered. This is unbiblical and to do this in the name of Jesus is heresy.
Nothing sounds false to me at all. Discernment is seriously lacking amongst Christians and a lack of understanding about what prophecy is all about. Everything spoken by Vuyokazi Matu is scriptural and not false. Very positive declarations over our country!
The prophets of old were rejected and treated with violence by their own people! Isaiah was sawn in half, Jeremiah was thrown into a pit and the less well known prophets was were probably stoned. The peoples of the day didn’t recognise the voice of God and most of their prophecies have come to pass and other are busy being fulfilled as we speak!
Two readers agree, two disagree. 10 working days from 18.8.2022, on 1 September, we will know whether she is a true prophet or a false prophet. Deuteronomy 18:20-22. I hope that Gateway News will publish the verdict on Friday 2nd September.
I commend her for her boldness, I was stirred by her declarations over I country, who knows if perhaps her dates are a bit wrong but God is working?
I don’t think God works on dates that “are a bit wrong”!!
