As part of a controversial grand plan to make Islam dominant in Zimbabwe’s education system, described as an ‘Islamic Jihad’, Education Minister, Dr Lazarus Dokora, has announced that government has secured a loan of $20 million from the Organisation Of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to facilitate this move.
A development which experts say could place Zimbabwe already a pariah state in an uneasy situation with the rest of the world in the fight against radical Islam and the continued threat to global peace and stability by groups that include the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria – ISIS. Nigeria and Kenya are some of the African countries that have suffered the most incredible and devastating terrorist attacks in recent history.
The most popular Islamic international organisations funded by OPEC include Muslim Brotherhood, Muslim Students Association, Taliban and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
The controversial minister of Primary and Secondary Education, announced over the weekend, that government has since identified sites for the first 17 of the thousands of schools to be funded under the Islamic states arrangement with government.
Dokora has angered Christians in Zimbabwe by seeking to minimise and downplay traditional Christian activities and fellowship within the country’s education system, that has seen the banning of scripture unions in the schools.
Dokora made the announcement while addressing delegates at the official hand over of a Primary school built by China under the China – Africa Friendship programme in Lupane.
“We have managed to get a loan of $20 million from OPEC to build the first seventeen of those schools while the rest is being finalised with other similar international private partners,” he added.
The Minister said government will built 83 schools throughout the country through joint ventures with unnamed international private players while the first 17 of these will be funded by a $20 million loan facility from OPEC.
“The Ministry had identified sites for the roll out of 83 schools to be built in the country and in the next few weeks we should begin to do the financial closures for the projects,” he said.
OPEC is a permanent intergovernmental organization of 13 oil-exporting developing nations that coordinates and unifies the petroleum policies of its Member Countries
Led by Saudi Arabia in its international funding activities, OPEC has been very consistent in emphasising the promotion of Islamic fundamentalism as a prerequisite for the release of its funds.
In a recent revelation by media, Minister Dokora was quoted as having agreed to have Islamic states build up to 2000 schools in the country with the states demanding for the removal of Christianity as the dominant religion in schools and promotion of Muslim.
Addressing the delegates, Dokora assured that government has found partners who will be able to build the 2056 schools needed in the country within the shortest possible period.
Dokora called on Zimbabweans not to resist the opportunity provided by the OPEC countries to build schools in the country.
“This is a key area where everybody has to participate. It would be sad if we miss this opportunity to develop the infrastructure for the schools we need. We need to make rapid progress,” said Dokora amidst confusion in his audience.
In recent debates on the new Finance Bill regulating borrowings by government, Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa made an assurance that government will not go into any major borrowing without making public consultations on the proposed borrowings.
In view of the criticism that followed the revelation of the intended relations between Government and the Muslim states it is doubtful if Zimbabweans would have approved of the borrowing from OPEC had government made the public hearings.
Several Western countries have over the years threatened removing aid and financial relations from any countries that directly benefit from Islamic Fundamentalists funding due to terrorist activities funded by the Islamic States throughout the world.

Most Zimbabweans are unaware of the operations carried out by radicals like ISIS and Boko Haram. There is need to educate the people first about terrorism effected by these organizations. This is terrible –

I am not sure if this is true, and if this indeed is true, then Dokora is the worst of all the Ministers I have heard of,. In any case, has the Cabinet approved this and are Zimbabweans aware of this dangerous idea. I am not against an religion at all, but I am against the idea that we are better off importing a religion through education, that is very dangerous. We are africans and for how long will we continue to qualify ourselves via religions of none africans. Let me warn the Honorable Minister, these so called schools by him will be boycotted, no single zimbabweans should enroll in those schools. Its time Zimbabweans be zimbabweans without affiliating to other nationals. Comrade Dokora did you do your home work well, or you are so desperate. We need quality education and not quantity education.
