Ocean Perfumes owner Blessing Mashangwa, who once accused Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa of stealing over US$1 million from her, has d_ed.
Her family has yet to reveal the cause of her d3ath. Blessing passed away at a hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa, earlier today.
Blessing Mashangwa stormed into the limelight in 2017 after she and her husband Upenyu Mashangwa sued United Family International Church (UFIC) founder and leader Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa.
The Mashangwa family were devout members of UFIC from 2014 to 2016. However, in 2017, they decided to walk out of the popular charismatic church. Upenyu and Blessing Mashangwa were very generous during their time at the church. Their faith made them bold and kind enough to seed and pay handsome amounts of money as seeds, tithes and offerings.
When they left the church, the couple pondered and realised they had forked out money for UFIC. The two had spent a staggering US$1.1 million on tithes and offerings. The Mashangwas felt bitter and decided to recoup their money. They filed a lawsuit against Emmanuel Makandiwa after he refused to pay them back the money.
However, the couple lost the suit, and High Court Judge Owen Tagu said tithes and offerings are ‘free will offerings’ which can only be recovered from God.
Blessing Mashangwa, who owns Ocean Perfumes, once dated Prophet Jay Israel.
