Archbishop Emmanuel Mutumwa, who is the leader of Johanne Masowe eChishanu Apostolic Sect has been banned from betting in local casinos because of excess wins. His current win was about US$30,000 and these casino operators fear that they might go bankrupt if he continues gambling with them.
But the acclaimed prophet claim that he receives winning games from God through vision. He further stated that with his numerous wins, he has been able to pay school fees and start businesses for members of his religious organization. While other religious leaders perceive his actions as sinful, he thinks his wins are an avenue to be a blessing to the needy.
Do you think a religious leader should be involved in gambling? Do also accept his reason for engaging in gambling? Are these casinos right to ban him from gambling?

Bulawayo prophet gambles, wins US$30,000 banned from casinoGod’s Chosen Gambler?: Bulawayo Prophet Banned From Casinos for Winning Too MuchIn my opinion, the casinos are wrong in banning the religious leader from gambling, because he is a person who has the same rights and duties in society as other people. The casinos know very well that this story that the religious leader wins because God helps him, is a big lie, if the religious leader really had special powers that allow him to be successful in gambling, then the religious leader would be playing the lottery because it pays more money, imagine if the religious leader had the power to see the future, then he could see which numbers would win the lottery and he would buy the ticket containing the winning number of the lottery and with that he would win many millions, because in the lottery he won a lot money. and since this religious leader says he plays to help his believers, then he would have a lot of money to help his believers. By this I mean that it is obvious that the religious leader is skilled at gambling, he does not have any superpowers and it is not God who is helping him. That's why I think casinos shouldn't ban him from playing
