Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Prophet Austin Liabunya has made outrageous claims that his miracle oil has healed a person of HIV \u2013 a claim that is likely to land him in trouble with the law.<\/p>\n

Liabunya, a Malawian prophet who leads \u2018Believers Gospel Embassy Int\u2019l\u2019 based in South Africa, released the \u2018Money Magnet Oil\u2019 last week and urged people to buy.<\/p>\n

In a Facebook post on February 23, he claimed that people were buying the oils as they are \u201ctired of being poor and broke!\u201d. He also claimed that the oils are imported from Israel and are then Anointed by God through him at a Prayer Mountain.<\/p>\n

Two days later, he posted testimonies from people whom he said had used the oils and one of the posts was about a person claiming they had been cured of HIV.<\/p>\n

\u201cHIV Negative after using \u2018Money Magnet Oil\u2019 testimonies from people who are using the Oil keep coming from around the world,\u201d Liabunya wrote on his page.<\/p>\n

He also shared pictures of a rapid test indicating a negative result. Commenters were quick to point out that a rapid test is not very reliable for a person who is already positive.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo ways\u2026rapid test for a viral suppressed client result imaoneka (comes out) negative\u2026should go for DNA-PCR,\u201d one commenter said. Many condemned Liabunya for the claims and warned him against discouraging his church members from taking antiretroviral drugs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is how people come to the hospital in late stages of HIV\/AIDS. We have seen people going down this road. Aphunzitseni anthu (teach people about) about God. Even if they die or not, they should remain in Him,\u201d said a commenter.<\/p>\n

Another added: \u201cStop taking advantage of desperate people who comes to your church. You won\u2019t be cheap if you encourage members of your church who are HIV positive to take their medicine correctly.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Malawi, it is a crime to proclaim, utter, publish misleading, false or inaccurate information concerning HIV and AIDS to any other person or the public.<\/p>\n

According to the HIV and AIDS (Prevention and Management) Act enacted in 2018, a person who commits such an offence shall be liable, upon conviction, to a fine of K5,000,000 and imprisonment for five years. UNAIDS statistics for 2020 indicate that Malawi has about 990 000 people living with HIV.<\/p>\n
