By Terrence Mawawa, Masvingo|Church leader Nehemiah Mutendi has said President Robert Mugabe is greater than Bible Pentateuch author, Moses (BC 2000).

Mutendi who is the bishop of the Zion Christian Church courted controversy by saying Mugabe is greater than Moses because the president has managed to deliver Zimbabwe from the colonial regime while the bible author did not manage to take the Israelites to Canaan.

Mutendi made the controversial remarks during President Robert Mugabe’s belated birthday bash at Great Zimbabwe last Saturday. The preacher stunned delegates when he said Moses was inferior to Mugabe because of what he described as the president ‘s heroics during and after liberation struggle. “You(president) have managed to do what Moses could not achieve because Moses did not go with the people of Israel to Canaan but you were with us at independence and you are still with us ,” he said.
History has it on record that Mugabe did nothing special to bring black rule to Zimbabwe and by 1979 ZANLA and Joshua Nkomo’s ZIPRA forces had been defeated and the much celebrated conquest against the Rhodesian government is solely to the thanks of the South African government who closed down their border to stop vital fuel supplies crumbling the country’s economy, a development that led to independence negotiations accelerating.
Mutendi also said Mugabe would rule the country even up to the age of 120 and beyond, drawing the ire of fellow Church leaders who felt Mutendi had gone into overdrive in a bid to please Mugabe.
“I pray that the president lives up to 120 years and beyond ,” said Mutendi.
Local Church leaders said Mutendi had become overzealous in a frantic attempt to please Mugabe and his wife Grace. Angry Church leaders told ZimEye.com it was unfortunate Mutendi came up with a spirited attempt to idolise and hero-worship Mugabe to the extent of equating him to the iconic biblical character.
“While we all know that Mugabe has played his role as the leader of Zimbabwe, it is totally unacceptable to equate him to biblical figures. In fact this is an attempt to coerce the nation into worshipping Mugabe. The bishop portrayed Mugabe as an invincible character which is sad and uncalled for. We all know what is happening in the country under Mugabe’s controversial reign so Mutendi went too far in a desperate attempt to please the president,” said a local member of the Christian Voice International. Mutendi has also in the past declared open allegiance to the 92 year old president who also enjoys a large following among members ZCC members.

  1. Not only Mugabe and those who were there, who watched on TV live and those who latter read but God also heard this idiot of a church leader. On his own this lunatic is nothing, the problem are the multitudes of deranged followers. What a crying shame.

  3. Mutendi, when you die and you face God, who will be greater, Moses or Mugabe? kkkkkkkk
    don’t answer me…… give your answer to God who will ask you the same question.
    getting to the war, ….For those who watched Zanla being unstoppable from 1971-1980, to say that Zanla and zipra were defeated is plainly wrong. It is simply historical revisionism where plain facts are changed to write a different history. Both Zanla and zipra were unstoppable. Although thousands of recruits were killed by better trained Rhodesian forces, the low tech community based strategy of the two liberation forces could not be even held up.
    The border blockade was effective in getting Smith to the negotiation table. Army commanders complained their soldiers were down to their last 20 rounds.
    However, to say that Mugabe is better than Moses is nothing short of idolatry. Moses was the prophet who explained that the way a civilization should succeed is to obey the laws of God. He explained that if a nation is to obey God, it will be blessed with peace and prosperity [Deut 28; Jeremiah 18] However, if the nation does not obey God, the nation will decay or even disappear from history.The present hi-tech civilization enjoyed by the world is the fruit of this, where the emphasis is on knowledge, wisdom and understanding, with monotheistic spirituality, high morality and high community…. with excellence of work.
    This can be seen in Zimbabwe where dishonesty, corruption, immorality, blessing through ancestors or blessing through anointed prophets have led the nation into decline [by the whole population, not just the leaders].It can also be seen in America where a lack of moral standards and growing anti-christian policy is seeing the nation rapidly decay.
