United Family International Church’s Emmanuel Makandiwa and his wife Ruth brought smiles to Hatcliffe residents on Thursday after handing over three boreholes, barely two weeks after doing the same to Mabvuku and Tafara high-density communities.

The gifts, which fall under Agape Family Care — a UFIC’s charity arm — were presented at an occasion witnessed by senior officials, among them property developer in the area and Mutare South MP, Nyasha Chikwinya.
Hatcliffe extension, which has 20 000 residential stands and a community of over 50 000 residents, has experienced water woes since the settlement was established in 2010.
“A church is given to people and families, but a prophet is given to a nation and that is why Prophetess Makandiwa gives to all regardless of people’s religious backgrounds,” Prime Kufa, who officiated at the handover ceremony, said.
“We faced resistance from other local authorities and I would like to thank you people of Hatcliffe for your warm welcome. This programme is going to be implemented in many areas that currently face water problems.”
Kufa said the plight of the community touched the heart of Makandiwa’s wife, giving birth to the idea of constructing boreholes in the area.
He recalled how on a certain Saturday, when they were driving from Glen Forest with the Makandiwas they saw a woman who was fetching water and washing her plates from a pothole on the roadside and realised how desperate the situation was.

With the facilitation of Chikwinya, who is also a former MP for Hatcliffe, they helped identify proper sites before the three boreholes were eventually sunk.
