He said:<\/p>\n<p>How do I respond to people when someone asks, what do you think of a prophet who buys an expensive car?<\/p>\n<p>If I had to tell you what to say, you are not the right person to defend me. I would rather have that person ask me because I have never in my life bought an expensive car. If it was expensive, I would not have even bought it.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know what is wrong with people, I have only bought cheap cars, and I have only built cheap houses.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is it is expensive for you. It\u2019s your money that you want to use to buy what I have bought.<\/p>\n<p>So, the term expensive, whose term is that? I am smart enough to know when the product is expensive and I will not buy it because I can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Have I stopped sending my children to school because of a house that I have built? So vara rekuti expensive ririkubva kupi?<\/p>\n<p>Makandiwa urged people to mind their own business and not poke their noses into other people\u2019s business. He said:<\/p>\n<p>Why do you think about people\u2019s money? Some people think that all we do is preach; we are good at preaching.<\/p>\n<p>Mwachewe tikapinda mumabhindauko tinobata basa sebasa.
