The prophet's remarks came in response to the unveiling of the 2024 national budget by Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube, a move that has sparked widespread criticism for its perceived impact on the lives of ordinary citizens.

Speaking directly to his followers, Makandiwa encouraged them to explore business opportunities as a means of securing their livelihoods. He urged them to confront and oppose any governmental measures that impede their ability to engage in meaningful economic activities.

Additionally, the influential religious figure revealed his intention to engage President Mnangagwa, warning of potential dire consequences should the government persist in implementing policies that compound the challenges faced by Zimbabwean citizens. Makandiwa emphasized the need for citizens to have the freedom to provide for their families and express their concerns without fear of reprisal.

Prophet Makandiwa's Stirring Message to President Mnangagwa: A Voice for Zimbabweans!

In a candid and passionate declaration that drew resounding support from his audience, Makandiwa proclaimed, "Vanopopota vachipopota. Vanotaura vachitaura. Endai munoita mari. Itai mari." (Loosely translated: "Those who are clever, be clever. Those who speak, speak. Go and make money. Make money.") He continued, "Pamunenge maita matambudziko muchiomeserwa nehurumende musavhare muromo, taurai" (Loosely translated: "If you face challenges imposed by the government, do not fear to raise your voice.").

The prophet's words underline an urgent call for resilience, determination, and a clear message to the nation’s leadership. He urged his congregants to persevere in their pursuit of financial well-being, asserting that the hand of God is at work in Zimbabwe. "Handei tinonamata tichishanda. Vamwe venyu munyama wamunawo ndewekuti magarisa munyika imwe chete" (Loosely translated: "Let us continue to work whilst praying. Some of you have a myopic mindset, thinking that the growth is restricted to one region only.").

The prophet's address captured the sentiment of many Zimbabweans grappling with economic hardships and seeking avenues for hope and progress. Makandiwa's message resonates as a clarion call for economic freedom, self-determination, and a plea for governance that supports the aspirations of the people.

As the nation contemplates its future, the words of Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa have ignited discussions and reflections on the role of leadership in fostering an environment conducive to economic empowerment and individual well-being.
