He said:<\/p>\n<p>The Man of God implored us to consider the plight of the affected families notwithstanding the fact that they are illegal settlers.<\/p>\n<p>He instructed us to ask the Sheriff to give the settlers time to pull down their structures and rescue their belongings.<\/p>\n<p>He said he is touched by their situation and also felt the anxiety among our church members who are bonafide owners of the land, thus his bid to find a win-win solution.<\/p>\n<p>Look, it is the rainy season, it\u2019s really a difficult situation but the Prophet believes the temporary reprieve will give the settlers some time to find alternative accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>The settlers told NewsDay that they were grateful Makandiwa considered their plight and desperation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
