Education Minister Lazarus Dokora says that Zimbabwe is first and foremost a muslim country and at independence in 1980 the education system ranked Islam as number one. The latest development has seen Minister Dokora win against police commissioner Augustine Chihuri and the rest of the Christian community’s concerns over his controversial new curriculum.
Dokora two weeks ago said that Islam was Zimbabwe’s first religion in 1980. He 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.
A week later while in Norton, Dokora used the word, “peace” a direct antonym of “war” to state 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:
whats wrong with zimbabweans nhai vanhu
I agree with a 1000% he must be stopped
This man is dangerous, why bring idol worshipping to Zimbabwe. Why is the nation quiet. We don’t children to school for religion. This man should be stopped.
He knows exactly what he is doing. Primary and secondary kids are the “tomorrow Zimbabwe”. That means he has a long term plan to transition the nation “SOLIDLY” into Islam. He is dangerous.
GETTING RID OF THIS MAN IS MORE URGENT THAN ANYTHING ELSE AT THE MOMENT!!!
The scary thing is we are busy trying to make ends meet at the moment, only to wake up tomorrow in an islamic state.
Akadya mari uyu batai munhu
He must shut his mouth and create that curriculum for his own kids. Instead of trying to musliralise the whole nation
He want our nation to have Dokoharam, couse he realized that we are currently neither cool nor hot
This Dokora is up to no good for the country. He doesn’t know what he is inviting to Zim.
