Tamuka Charakupa, ZBC Main News reported that The Council for Churches in Africa (CCA) is actively engaging with indigenous church leaders across the country, urging them to embrace development opportunities provided by the government. This initiative aims to modernize church practices and align them with progressive, human rights-based approaches.
Government and Church Collaboration
The Minister of State for Manicaland Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Advocate Misheck Mugadza, along with ZANU PF Provincial Chairman Cde Tawanda Mukodza, commended the strong relationship between the church, the government, and the ruling party. Advocate Mugadza emphasized the government’s commitment to ensuring no one is left behind.
“We are here at the Jekenishen Church to discuss how best we can work together to equip our people with skills for self-sustainability. The Church has a massive following, and if they support government programs, Vision 2030 is within reach,” said Advocate Mugadza.
Cde Tawanda Mukodza added, “As ZANU PF, we will continue to work with the church to support government efforts towards achieving Vision 2030. The Church’s role is crucial in complementing these efforts.”
The government has also reminded religious groups to adhere to the laws of the land, amidst reports of some denominations abusing the right to freedom of worship.
