THE United Family International Church (UFIC) has caused a
stir after releasing a video of its leader Emmanuel Makandiwa purportedly
prophesying the military intervention that preceded the ouster of former
President Robert Mugabe last week.
The video in question — which was released at the weekend
and was reportedly recorded in early 2016 — claims that Makandiwa foretold the
military’s intervention in taking over State affairs before 2018 — although it
did not specifically name the Zimbabwe Defence Forces.
“I have more than 70 prophecies about this nation that you
haven’t seen,” the video says. “I saw, this is very important, they are people
that you have never expected to see sitting in front of a camera.
“People you do not expect to see sitting in front of a camera,
you will see them sitting there.
“In their uniforms, you should never expect them to sit
there, but you will see them sitting there.
“Is it not supposed to be time for news?
“I was praying and I said to the Lord ‘what is this?’, and
He said this to me, overtaking, overtaking.”
Makandiwa’s spokesperson, Prime Kufa, confirmed that the
preacher had made that “prophecy”, but could not be drawn into commenting
further.
Makandiwa, later in November 2016, according to the video,
repeated the same prophecy, reiterating that this would occur before 2018.
“People were praying for what is going to happen in 2018
and I said 2018 is too far,” the preacher says in the video.
“I said it is too far, looking at what I am seeing; I said
it is too far. Like I say, we need to keep on praying because 2018 is too far.”
Two weeks ago, the military moved in through an action
codenamed, Operation Restore Legacy, a sanitised coup, which saw them taking
over key government institutions, culminating in the removal of Mugabe as
President and his replacement with President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
However, the timing of the release of the video has raised
eyebrows, as this is not the first time that such information has been made
public after certain prominent incidents would have occurred.
Last month, a video was released soon after Mnangagwa, then
Vice-President, was airlifted during a rally addressed by Mugabe after he began
vomiting and suffering from diarrhoea.
