Watch As Gambakwe unpacks Makansiwa’s appearance at the Benny Hinn Show.
Gambakwe’s observations stem from a historical connection with Makandiwa. He revealed that he knows Makandiwa personally, having spent a year with him when Makandiwa was a student pastor at AFM city center, under the guidance of President Madzivire. This personal history adds a unique layer to Gambakwe’s commentary, suggesting an understanding that goes beyond public perception. He further highlighted Makandiwa’s journey, emphasizing that he “built his church from scratch” and noting the early involvement of figures like Apostle Vutabwashe, whose friendship with Makandiwa dates back to 2001.
A particular point of interest for Gambakwe was Makandiwa’s recent appearance with Grace Mugabe. He expressed surprise and appreciation for Makandiwa’s humility during this event. Despite being widely regarded as “the boss of religion in Zimbabwe,” Gambakwe observed Makandiwa sitting and listening for an extended period without interjecting. This visual, he remarked, was “very interesting,” showcasing a side of Makandiwa that perhaps isn’t always in the public eye. Gambakwe encouraged his viewers to seek out the full footage of this interaction, suggesting there’s more to glean from it.
But perhaps the most striking moment came when Gambakwe drew a parallel, however brief, to Benny Hinn. In a direct statement of personal preference, Gambakwe acknowledged Benny Hinn’s capacity to attract massive crowds, stating, “Go check out Benny Hinn bringing out most people over…” However, he quickly followed this with a decisive personal declaration: “but I would at any day go to Makandiwa’s church than to Benny church but that is just me on any day.”
