YOUTHFUL preacher Prophet Emmanuel Mwale of the Unity Apostolic Church International (UACI) says he is on a mission to end drug abuse and deliver people from different ailments associated with excessive taking of drugs through Chamba Chemweya (anointed coarse salt).
In street lingo Chamba refers to marijuana, also known as mbanje.
However, Prophet Mwale said he was not using mbanje, but coarse salt, which he he prefers to call Chamba Chemweya.
In an interview with Standard Style, Prophet Mwale said through Chamba Chemweya, he seeks to cleanse demon-afflicted drug takers, but even those affected by drugs in some way.
“If someone is addicted to smoking marijuana, for instance, they should write down on the rolling paper this addiction,” Prophet Mwale said.
“They then roll up the coarse salt which we give them such that whenever they feel like taking the bad substance, they instead just roll up the ‘joint’ of Chamba Chemweya and take one or a few grains.
“This will help them to suppress their deep urge and craving for the drug or whatever substance that they would be taking.”

Prophet Mwale said several testimonies on deliverance, healing, breaking chains of darkness and opening of financial doors have been narrated at their church services held in Hatfield, Harare.
“We have many people who have testified the wonders of Chamba Chemweya. Many have already witnessed some transformations in their lives after using the anointed coarse salt,” he said.
Prophet Mwale once caused a stir when hundreds of gamblers, among them pool players, flocked to his church for anointed salt for gambling luck after a darts player reportedly struck gold after he was given the “mysterious salt”.
The preacher is not new to controversy as he once claimed that he anoints cars so that whoever drives in them would not be involved in road accidents.
He also grabbed headlines for claiming that he sells anointed stands which he said scare away spirits that cause disturbances in the home.
Son of an archbishop, Prophet Mwale says he is not bothered by those who criticise the works of God, especially miracles.
“I know that many people label the current generation of prophets as bogus and mere spiritualists trying to con innocent people looking for deliverance and so on, but that is totally imaginary,” he said.
“Honestly speaking, people should understand that being a prophet is not by choice, but God’s calling and when one gets that inspiration to be God’s servant from the Holy Spirit, they automatically transforms them from being an ordinary believer to become a deliverer.”
Prophet Mwale is a well-known keyboardist, specialising in jazz. He has done music projects with the likes of Lady Thanda and played alongside reggae icon Trevor Hall.
Away from the keyboard, he was a fashion designer and car dealer, but he has since abandoned all other trades to concentrate on ministering.
