By Farai D Hove| The man who has killed more blacks than apartheid South Africa and continues to annihilate more, Emmerson Mnangagwa has taken a swipe at the man he usurped power from on 1 August 2018 by killing 6 people, Nelson Chamisa, saying he is going against God Almighty.

The ZANU PF leader also said Chamisa is not respecting the country’s institutions and laws.

He said: “When we have our elections, you don’t declare yourself the winner. No! It is the duty of other institutions.

“If you fail to listen to those institutions, you are going against God. The role of the church is to ensure that people humble themselves and respect the country’s laws and institutions. In our Constitution, we gave space to the Church; that is freedom of worship for all religions. We guarantee the freedom of worship.

“We expect (that) if our nation becomes a Christian nation, our people will live a Christian life. If our people live a Christian life, then our people will live in harmony because Christianity exudes peace, love, humility and harmony.”

Emmerson Mnangagwa said even though Zanu-PF got two thirds majority in Parliament, it initiated a political party dialogue process in the spirit of inclusivity.

He said several parties joined the dialogue and it was encouraging that out of the 23 political parties that participated in last year’s general elections, 20 were taking part in the dialogue.

Mnangagwa said the difference between the churches operating in Zimbabwe was that there were indigenous churches founded locally while others were head-quartered in other countries.

Mnangagwa said as an indigenous Government, it was important for his administration to dialogue with leaders of indigenous churches who also make decisions without consulting their external head offices. – Additional Reporting, Herald
