Salvation Press News (SPN), HARARE. – A gangly man clad in a floral Angelo Galasso shirt and a toning faded jean, casually walks out of a Harare hotel after enjoying his lunch. Those who don’t know him dismiss him as another regular customer.
The unidentified man calmly shifts himself into a parked Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG. Then, people start to take notice. Witnessed are tempted to take images of the monster which according to motoring enthusiasts might be the first of its kind in Africa and unveiled recently in Germany.
And wait. It costs around $300 000. The man under focus drives at an elevated speed with motorists in trail. After the dust had settled, people began talking.
“This is the manifestation of blessings from God. I go to the Family of God Church, but I admire this man a lot. I just wanted to get close to him,” mentioned one onlooker.
Tarry a little. Those who missed the event, the man under review was none other than Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa, the founder of United Family International Church. And for those keen on intricate driving details. The Mercedes Benz 6.0 litre V12 Biturbo can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 250km/h.
Before buying this latest vehicle, Prophet Makandiwa, who clearly has an exclusive taste, was gliding in a S600 V12. It is reported he purchased a fleet of 500 cars for pastors from several ministries.
Across town, flamboyant businessman Phillip Chiyangwa took delivery of a 2014 GL63 AMG, the first of its kind in Zimbabwe pegged at a mammoth $400 000. While he boasted of his latest procurement, his employees were languishing in dire straits without wages for several months. Many people were quick to quiz how Prophet Makandiwa, a servant of God can drive an expensive cars relegating the fact that being rich is not sin, it is how one gathers and spends his wealth that matters.
Contrary, Chiyangwa a certified ‘womeniser’ who sired several children and has dabbled in politics gaining business clout. Meanwhile, the Prophet is a celebrated businessperson person who has interest on the London Stock Exchange.
Prophet Makandiwa is not the only isolated man of cloth who has a penchant for classy wheels. Java Ministries founder Prophet Passion Java recently is reportedly to have splashed a staggering $500 000 on three cars which are believed to be gifts for his senior pastors. He bought two brand new Range Rover Vogues and a Jaguar XJ.
The ministry’s spokesperson refused to dwell on the automobile transaction revealed by a salesperson from a local car dealership saying, “Well, I am sorry I cannot go into detail about this transaction for I believe it’s a private transaction that is not meant for public consumption. I guess you agree me with me that people buy cars every day, but no one stalks them and I beg that you respect that space.”
Prophet Passion’s new buy adds to his fleet of luxurious vehicles which includes a new model of Chrysler. Prophet Eubert Angel, the creator of Spirit Embassy, is also known for his taste of flashy cars and he once attended church aboard a Harley Davidson motorbike, and his fleet of cars is also showy. – Salvation Press News (SPN).
