A clergyman in the Methodist Church in Zimbabwe has hailed President Emmerson Mnangagwa for promoting a culture of peace and tolerance in the country.

Reverend Rodrick Shoko of the Methodist Church in Zimbabwe Mufakose Circuit hailed Mnangagwa’s government for effectively departing from hate speech- thereby promoting peace and tolerance.

“We were fed up with hate language on national television. The new leadership is preaching the gospel of peace,” said Shoko.

“During the past days we could only hear words like ‘Stop It’ or ‘Unopenga’ all the time.

We are glad that all that is now gone.

For the first time, as churches we have been consulted by the Presidium as important stakeholders in the running of the country,” he said.
