Even by his own ostentatious standards, breaking social media AND meeting the President of South Africa constitutes a madcap few days for the businessman-come-preacher. Passion Java is a self-styled prophet, hailing from Zimbabwe – and he’s now hoping to use his vast fortune in a more productive manner.
According to Passion Java’s latest Facebook post, he is currently en route to discuss ‘youth entrepreneurship’ opportunities with President Ramaphosa. He wants to use his wealth to help empower young Tanzanians and Zimbabweans too, and his main goal is to encourage Africans to develop their own businesses.
“On my way to meet His Excellency President Cyril Ramaphosa in South Africa to discuss possible opportunities for me to engage South African youths for entrepreneurship support. Also in 2022 I will empower and bless Tanzanians and Zimbabweans with money and advice to start a business. Africa, are you ready?”
“Did a lot of travelling last year and I was so inspired by the entrepreneurship spirit all over Africa. I just bought a new jet so that I can be in different places much quicker.”

Around 170 bottles of champagne made up the now-infamous R1.3 million bar bill charged to Passion Java on Saturday. The waiters at 012 Lifestyle in Pretoria were given a whopping tip of R124 000, too.
The multi-millionaire has had his fun, however, and is now intent on trading fizziness for business. The presidency is yet to comment on the alleged meeting – which is certain to set tongues wagging across South Africa.
