By Paul Nyathi| ZimEye will be making LIVE UPDATES as President Emmerson Mnangagwa makes a “surprise” visit to Bulawayo church groups today.
Sources close to the President revealed to ZimEye.com that the President who arrives in the city this morning will be gracing the church while in the company of First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa.
While ZimEye.com efforts to get a comment from the Methodist church authorities in the city were futile, a congregant at the church said that church members were on Saturday involved in extra cleaning activities on suspicion that the President is visiting the church after people “suspected to be state security agents paid a courtesy call at the church.”
Of specific mention is a ceremony to be held at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) organised by the Faith for the Nation Campaign, a grouping of different church denominations that was founded in 2000. Flyers distributed by the faith-based organisation scream out that the main purpose of the gathering was to thank God for Mugabe’s “peaceful ouster”.
“Join the nation’s political and spiritual leaders from various denominations in giving thanks to God for a peaceful transition into a new era.
“God has given our nation the answer to peace. Zimbabwe is God’s own country,” the flyer reads in part.
Faith for the Nation Campaign national coordinator, Shuvai Wutaunashe confirmed to a weekly paper that they had invited Mnangagwa to be the guest of honour for today’s thanksgiving ceremony following the military take-over.
Wutaunashe said the church had been praying for years for a “new era.”
“The theme for the special service is, God has given Zimbabwe the answer of peace,” she said.
Meanwhile, the city of Bulawayo woke up to an unusual hype as news spread that Mnangagwa will be visiting the city. By early hours of the morning hundreds of ZANU PF supporters were reported to be already gathering at the Davis Hall ZANU PF offices in downtown Bulawayo preparing to go and welcome the President at the airport.
ZimEye.com sources in Gwanda also reported that several mini buses left the mining town for Bulawayo with senior provincial and district officials to attend a last minute arranged rally with Mnangagwa set for the Trade Fair Grounds in the city later in the afternoon.

So are you saying ZANU PF members won’t make it to heaven only the MDC, “judge not, for you will be judged harsher…”. Israelites looted for 40 years in there great trek to the promised land. My point still stands, do not mix discipleship and political activism. It’s all about control and conformity.
If you read the Bible correctly all those people you have quoted , were used by God to achieve Holy objective not brutality. The intention was to bring the people to know God.
In both cases you must read the bible in context. You do not just plug this and that. For you to understand the Bible you have to read the whole Bible that is the old and new testament. The reason why the bible was written was to bring salvation. Every word, every phrase, every sentence, every paragraph, every chapter and every book in the Bible was written for a purpose. For u to understand the bible you have to read it in its totality and being lead by the Holy Spirit. Every event and happening in the Bible was meant to bring people closer to the Lord. Are u telling me the Gukurahundi, the grabbing of farms, looting of diamonds, staging coups will bring us closer to God? True Christianity is not about going to church, its your personnel relationship with the Lord. Your talk, your walk and everything that you do should reflect the Love of God.
Please do lie, read the bible sir. Joseph was politician, Daniel was, David was,Gedion was , Moses was, Abraham had an army of 300 men, just to name few. Do not mistake discipleship and political movements.
You are facing the 7th hell then, in fact you’re just a shameful bunch of 300 hell bound fellows being misled by DD. hard luck!!!!
Christians do not involve themselves in politics however their role is to follow the laws of the country, pray for whichever leadership God has chosen, preach the gospel and refuse to be used by any other system that has nothing to do with the things of the Lord, for instance systems that loot natural resources, stage coups, rape, deny people’s rights, systems that grab farms, institutions for their beneficial gain, systems that lie, systems that manipulate people.
Its not about political parties it is about the system whether it is party A, b, C, D or Z. A demonic system cannot be supported. Light and darkness cannot mix so is water and oil.
UMthwakazi knows the Shona Butcher of Matebeleland dating back to the 1980s before you were born. He is seeking forgiveness through the back door without actually saying so in many words. That simply wont happen. He should look forward for more poisoning in the years ahead. Even the Mugabes will never forgive him despite the hefty packages he awarded them. You know Satan Mugabe; he never forgives once wronged. Mthwakazi doesnt, either!
These are the so-called Shona Churches, Pastors and Congregates who talk their nonsensical unity, but refuse the preaching in Ndebele right in Bulawayo itself. What a shameless bunch of hypocrites. When in Rome, you do as the Romans do; so goes the saying.
Why should I refuse to be preached to in Shona in Harare, when Shona is the language of the area; and above all, one of the official languages of the country? Shame!
Children of God only associate with the MDC?
It is not all people who go to church who are saved. Remember the parable of the wheat and tares. True believers do their worship quietly without publishing and praising worldly leaders.Claiming a smooth transition when another leader excised coup on another? True Christians do not associate themselves with darkness. God have mercy, it has started, pastors seeking to seek relevance in the eyes of man. Children of God associating themselves with the ZANU PF system ummmmm. I smell a rat.
The butcher back in the abatour kwaaaaa Church church what , The devil does not go to church
The so called mthwakazi can take this opportunity to see ED.
