Primary and Secondary Education Minister Lazarus Dokora has reiterated his comments that Islam was Zimbabwe’s first religion in 1980.
Two weeks ago Dokora ranked Islam as the nation’s first religion in 1980 while placing Christianity at number 4. He even claimed Islam is the nation’s designated religious faith.
Speaking last week in Norton, Dokora used the word, “peace” a direct antonym of “war” to reflect what people would face if they reject his new controversial curriculum in which Islam is listed as the first national religion at independence.
Dokora claimed to parents and teachers last week Monday that at independence in 1980, Islam was Zimbabwe’s first religion also calling it the nation’s “re-designated indigenous religion.”
The minister last year banned the Bible and voluntary club Scripture Union before reinstating the organisation following protests after falsely claiming that it is part of the education curriculum.
Speaking on the day, Dokora listed the Islamic religion as number one for Zimbabwe while pushing Christianity down to number 4.
While addressing panelists Dokora responded saying:
“And then of course there were the questions raised that: ‘is my my child going to be taught Islam?, is my my child going to be taught indigenous religion?’ said Dokora.
He continued saying, “in 1980 the curriculum that we fashioned for the republic, includes Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Christianity, Bhudiism,” he voiced while using his fingers to elaborate the importance by order.
He emphasised saying, “I was a teacher, I was just a teacher in the classroom, and those were introduced at Grade 2.”
He reiterated his comment saying that the curriculum has always had the religions in the order laid out according to his list.
“Do you think we should take these themes and teach them to ECB? Can I follow your thread, because you think its a new thing, and I am trying to get you to appreciate that it has always been there in the formula (order) that I have described to you..” WATCH THE FULL VIDEO BELOW:
true that, i watched one of Dokora’s interviews and he explained everything in a clear perspective. This article well its biased to generate more traffic for these people and of course make money for these guys.
Schools are a learning place not a church, mosque or whatever you might want to call it. Let every religion receive its fair amount of coverage. Kana vakuda hako to understand more about a particular religion go kwazvinoitwa ikoko. School is a learning place and not church or mosque or anything.
Amen an Amen

Wena Shona boy, how do you read and did you go to school? Can you speak English?
Bullshit! He is destroying Zimbabwe’s education system!! How can Zim be a Muslim Nation??? This is enough…we are being led by blind, illiterate people.
Zimbabwe has always been a Christian country we will never become a muslim nation why is Dokora trying to force islam to our children an banning the bible etc islam doesn’t have a big place in Zimbabwe and never will !!!
The author of this article is a very dangerous entity. He is deliberately brewing tension among peace loving Zimbabweans. There is no place in his article where Dokora said Zimbabwe is a muslim country. His interpretation is extremely dangerous
Thank Our Lord and Saviour for giving people the courage
to stand up against this evil man. We see what Muslims do to their own people. We can not imagine what they will do to the Christians of Zimbabwe if they get a foothold here. Let us as Christians stand together and defeat this evil.
In the Name of Jesus
WAŤCH OUT FOR THIS ISLAMIC TERRORIST! WE DON’T WANT ANY FUNDAMENTALIST RELIGION HERE!
Dokora if you are one never count us all.sevenzesa religion yako mumba mako not kwatiri these tinokonana.
Who is this dipstick? Zimbabwe has always been a Christian country and it’s leader a Roman Catholic – albeit excommunicated I believe.
this little piece of shit come minister at it again. jus wondering what he smokes coz it seems its something much contagious than marijuana. where exactly does he want to take the education ministry. to hell with you dokora, wanna create confusion after confusion
Father God in the Name of Jesus, I pray that your WILL be done and not the will of this person. Father God let not the enemy take away the faith we have in You and our Lord Jesus whom you sent in this world to show us the way.
Let this Nation not get confused because of one Individual – He is like the son of Satan doing Satan’s work. Send your Angels to do your Work and let not this mere man take away the belief we have in you.
Don’t allow this person to replace OUR LORD JESUS by whomever the muslims worship.
In the MIGHTY NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS.
AMEN
