Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>UFIC leader Emmanuel Makandiwa has torched a storm after he seemed to be overlooking corruption in the country because looters were leaving some resources for development.<\/p>\n

In a video clip circulating on social media, the United Family International Church (UFIC) leader said:<\/p>\n

Some of you don\u2019t understand. Some of you hear what has not been said. It\u2019s like you have me saying there is no corruption happening. That\u2019s what you would have heard. Why do you misinterpret? Corruption has different levels.<\/p>\n

There is a certain level where there will be US$10 billion for road construction, of which US$5 billion is swindled and US$5 billion is used for the construction. That corruption is different from other corruption because all of the US$10 billion could be squandered.<\/p>\n

Responding to Makandiwa\u2019s remarks, self-exiled former Cabinet minister Jonathan Moyo said in a Twitter post:<\/p>\n

Apa kwete (not in this case). Papa don\u2019t be a rolling stone. The 50\/50 quota is for gender equality, not for corruption parity!<\/p>\n

Some said corruption should never be justified no matter how small it looks because that money is being paid by taxpayers and must fully benefit the taxpayers.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe Coalition on Debt and Development (ZIMCODD) programmes manager John Maketo said:<\/p>\n

We stand against all forms of corruption.<\/p>\n

Centre for Natural Resource Governance director Farai Maguwu said:<\/p>\n

Corruption is corruption, it must not be classified. We can\u2019t sanitise the looting of US$5 billion because the other US$5 billion was reportedly used for the intended purpose.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in his sermon, Makandiwa also said:<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe is rising bit by bit, whether Satan likes it or not. We are walking in prophetic steps. From morning until midnight, we are seeing those in power doing what was revealed to us, but God will support until you get embarrassed. If you were a prophet like me, you would do the same.<\/p>\n

This part prompted Maguwu to say it was now very difficult to distinguish between Makandiwa the preacher and Makandiwa the politician.<\/p>\n
