MYSTERIOUS gold will fall from the heavens this year, setting off a rush that will see many poor Zimbabweans getting rich, at least if you believe in Emmanuel Makandiwa’s prophecies. The United Family International Church leader, who was recently branded a “cheat” by Pastor Godwin Chitside, says massive deposits of the prized mineral will appear on the bare surface all over the country. Makandiwa told more than 30,000 people who graced his sermon on New Year’s Eve that God had shown him a gust of “wind blowing and I saw gold coming to the surface. People are going to be picking up gold without any drilling.” “The Lord told me, ‘Tell Zimbabweans to change their focus.’ Everyone is saying diamonds, diamonds but I see another precious mineral for Zimbabwe,” he said. Gold will be picked up from the ground. Mysteriously gold will be appearing everywhere.” “Those people who have been looked down upon will be picking up gold like they are picking up stones. The Lord told me ‘This is for my people’,” Makandiwa said. The charismatic preacher prophesied that due to the prosperity ahead, car imports will increase leading to traffic congestion especially in the capital, Harare. “You think you have seen congestion. No you have not! Keep your eyes open and see what will be happening. Because of the grace coming upon the people, driving shall be difficult in Harare,” he added. Makandiwa told the congregants that he also saw the rise of a new capital city that will relegate Harare to ordinary city status. This, of course is not news. Local Government Minister Ignatias Chombo confirmed in November that a new Zimbabwean capital will be built in Mt Hampden, Zvimba, 40 kilometers west of Harare. Chombo said a site had already been identified for construction of parliament and other key government departments. A leaked plan of the new capital was even published on social media. Apparently referencing the already known maneuvers, Makandiwa said: “Harare will expire, with another new and beautiful capital city coming up. It’s like a garden. As I was praying I even saw the papers and the plan.” But if you believe him, Makandiwa is not only a bearer of good news. Like the biblical prophets of doom Amos and Hosea, he delivered bleak predictions characterised by disease and death. Makandiwa said a leading Zimbabwean business will be hospitalized for a serious ailment that might claim his life. “Is he able to come out of hospital this year? That is if we pray. If we don’t pray it’s not just the death of a person but this is hope going. So we need to pray.” He also prophesied the passing of a prominent African soccer coach who he said will be shot dead by one of his players after an international tournament. On Sunday Makandiwa found himself in the crosshairs of Spoken World Ministries leader Pastor Chitside who accused him and Nigerian guru Temitope Balogun (TB) Joshua, as well as Uebert Angel Mudzanire of cheating their docile followers.
