UFIC Leader Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa Caught In Satanism Controversy
United Family International Church (UFIC) leader Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa has found himself at the centre of a heated controversy after allegations of satanic practices surfaced. The claims, which have sparked widespread debate, accuse the popular preacher of engaging in rituals linked to Satanism, shaking the faith of many of his followers.
The allegations emerged from a former church member who claimed to have witnessed unusual practices during private church meetings. According to the whistleblower, Makandiwa performed rituals involving strange symbols, animal sacrifices, and incantations that allegedly align with satanic worship. These claims have since gone viral on social media, dividing public opinion.
Makandiwa, known for his charismatic preaching and large following, has denied the allegations, calling them baseless and malicious. In a statement, UFIC described the accusations as an attack on the church’s reputation and a ploy to tarnish Makandiwa’s image. The church has urged its members to remain steadfast in their faith and ignore the rumours.
Despite the denial, the controversy has sparked intense discussions among Zimbabweans. Some supporters have rallied behind Makandiwa, dismissing the claims as fabricated by jealous rivals or disgruntled former members. Others, however, have expressed concern, calling for an independent investigation to uncover the truth.
Religious leaders from other denominations have also weighed in, with some condemning the allegations as harmful to the Christian community, while others have called for accountability and transparency. The controversy has highlighted the growing scrutiny of charismatic churches and their leaders, who often wield significant influence over their congregations.
This is not the first time Makandiwa has faced criticism. In the past, he has been accused of exploiting followers through expensive prayer sessions and miracle promises. However, the satanism allegations mark a new level of scrutiny for the preacher.
As the storm continues, many are watching to see how Makandiwa and UFIC will address the growing scepticism. For now, the controversy serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by religious leaders in maintaining trust and credibility in an increasingly sceptical world.
