Charismatic preacher Uebert Mudzanire, popularly known as Prophet Uebert Angel, recently visited Chiredzi where he promised locals that he will bring investors to the Lowveld.
Angel, a British-Zimbabwean preacher and the founder of Good News Church, formerly Spirit Embassy, was last week appointed Presidential Envoy and Ambassador at Large to Europe and the Americas by President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa.
He travelled to Chiredzi District in Masvingo Province a day after his appointment where he met a group of businesspeople.
Angel was accompanied by the Minister of Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Masvingo, Ezra Chadzamira.
Techmag TV reported a source saying Angel met several business people in the district where he pledged to lure 20 investors. The source said:
Yes, it’s true the ambassador was here and met business people in this community. He promised to revive this area by luring investors to come to Chiredzi. He said he will lure 20 investors.
The lanky preacher’s visit to Chiredzi may raise a few eyebrows after the district recently made headlines over the government’s mooted effort to displace more than 12 500 families in Chilonga.
The government allocated thousands of hectares of land that belongs to the local Shangaan community to Dendairy, a Midlands-based dairy company to grow grass for its cows.
