Makandiwa admits wrongdoing

Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa’s United Family International Church (UFIC) has admitted to irregularly acquiring huge tracts of land from Chitungwiza Town Council and has asked the local authority “to regularise the state of affairs”.

This followed the adoption of a probe report by the joint meeting of the public works, town lands and environment management; education, housing and community service; and general purpose committees on how UFIC acquired the land.

The committees on Tuesday recommended the arrest of housing and community services director Jemina Gumbo for allegedly facilitating the illegal transactions.
