Prophetess Makandiwa, best known for her philanthropic work, is wife to UFIC founder and leader Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa. She has made her mark in society by engaging heavily in philanthropic work across the country as she is involved with many charitable events and organisations.
In an interview with journalists, UFIC spokesperson Pastor Prime Kufa said the invited orphans and widows had come to join Prophetess Makandiwa to celebrate her birthday.
“Today was Prophet Ruth Makandiwa’s birthday and traditionally she has always celebrated her birthday with the underprivileged,” said Pastor Kufa.
“She has invited 900 orphans and close to 100 widows today so that she can fulfil her vision and her passion for charity work, so it is our duty as UFIC to gather the under-privileged and celebrate with her.”
Apart from the children and widows, students from various colleges expressed their gratitude to Prophetess Makandiwa for her good heart as she pays for their tuition and their upkeep.
