Ministry and Influence
Prophet Chari is the founder of Grace Family International Church. In addition to this, he is the CEO of Throne of Grace Ministries, based in Johannesburg, South Africa. His ministry has also previously been active in Botswana, though reports suggest these activities have been reduced.
Chari is known for his close association with Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa, the founder of the United Family International Church (UFIC). Many observers have noted that Prophet Chari has often mirrored his mentor's ministerial style in his own teachings and public presentation.
Legal Troubles & Public Disputes
Prophet Chari has faced significant legal challenges. He has been accused of assaulting and issuing threats against another religious figure, Prophetess Haddasah Caroline. This culminated in a warrant for his arrest after he failed to appear in court to face these charges.
During a church service, a public confrontation with Prophetess Hadassah escalated the dispute, where she publicly alleged that Prophet Chari was a "wife beater," bringing serious domestic allegations into the public domain.
In a notable incident showcasing his loyalty, Prophet Chari defended his mentor, Prophet Makandiwa, by releasing a secret recording. The audio allegedly featured figures Jay Israel and Blessing Muzvongi Mushangwa rehearsing false accusations against Makandiwa. Chari's intervention was seen as a strategic move to protect his spiritual father.
Personal Life and Divorce
Prophet Chari was married to Anesu Mwarianesu, with whom he has three children. In November 2025, Anesu publicly announced that they had been separated for over a year and were finalizing their divorce. In her statement, she cited "issues threatening my safety" as the reason for the split.
Prior to the divorce announcement, the couple faced public allegations that Anesu was having an affair with businessman Wicknell Chivhayo. Prophet Chari publicly defended his wife on Instagram, posting a message of support that read in part, "Stand strong Queen, I LOVE YOU... Heaven will reward you and Jesus will be praised !!"
Lifestyle and Wealth
A well-known aspect of Prophet Chari's public persona is his love for high-end, luxury vehicles. This preference for an affluent lifestyle is often showcased and suggests a significant net worth, though no official figures are publicly available.
Mhepo Commentary: The Modern Prophet's Paradox
Prophet Evidence Chari embodies the paradox of the modern-day charismatic prophet. His story is one of building a powerful ministry while simultaneously navigating a minefield of public challenges, legal battles, and intense personal scrutiny. Unlike spiritual leaders of a bygone era, Chari actively uses the tools of modern fame—social media, high-end assets, and public statements—to manage his narrative. His defense of Prophet Makandiwa and his public declaration of love for his wife amidst affair rumors were not just personal acts; they were strategic public relations moves designed to rally his followers and project strength. However, this high-profile approach also invites a greater level of inspection, as seen in his legal battles and now his public divorce. His career highlights a fundamental tension: balancing the demands of spiritual leadership with the very worldly challenges of wealth, personal disputes, and the constant gaze of the public eye.
