By Own Correspondent| The Christian community has expressed concern over utterances by a prominent clergyman calling on citizens to honour President Emmerson Mnangagwa as he is ordained by God.

Zion Christian Church (ZCC) leader Nehemiah Mutendi stunned all and sundry when he urged congregants to honour Mnangagwa as he was chosen by God to lead the nation.

Mutendi also implored the people of Zimbabwe to honour Mnangagwa and all the other people in position of authority.

He made the remarks at the ZCC Easter Conference in Bikita yesterday.

Said Mutendi:

“We expect you to honour our President as the leader of the country. The Bible says, ‘we should honour our parents so that we can live longer on earth.”
