Prophet Sues Broadcaster Over Liverpool Title Prediction

A Zimbabwean prophet
has launched a $1.5m legal claim against a South African sports broadcaster over its claim he predicted Liverpool would win this season’s English Premier League.
Spirit Embassy Church leader, Uebert Angel denies making the prediction, which was reported on Supersport’s website  in December.
Liverpool is currently second in the league with nine  games to play.
But Angel feels his reputation will be damaged if they do not win the title.
A summons in Harare High Court read: “The plaintiff claims the sum of $1,500,000 considering his character and status as a prophet with great following… who is respected the world over by religious, social and political leaders.”
Angel says he is entitled to compensation as it would be “difficult to rehabilitate completely his reputation even if it is proved in court that the statement was misguided…”.
Supersport Communications Manager Clinton Van Der Burg told Tidesports source; “Supersport is aware of the matter. Supersport denies liability and will contest the charges vigorously.”
Angel was quoted as saying: “Liverpool, I am with you this year and God has shown me he is returning you to your glory days.”
SuperSport broadcasts live English Premier League matches in several African countries.
