Farai Dziva|Respected Political analyst, Dr Stephen Chan has warned Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa to stop denigrating Roman Catholic Bishops as he will not win the battle against the clerics.

Mr Mnangagwa attacked Catholic Bishops for “abusing the pulpit”.

Mr Mnangagwa further accused the Catholic Bishops of advancing “a nefarious agenda meant to destabilize the peace in the country.”

However, Dr Chan has warned Mnangagwa to “stop digging while he is a hole.”

” There is a well-known adage: when you realise you’re in a hole, stop digging. To take on the might of the Catholic church is very daring but it runs in the face of another adage: choose the fights you can win.

The Catholic solidarity is widening. There was a time once when President Mugabe worked with Catholic Bishops to end the war in Mozambique.

His 1992 speech in Rome was about dialogue and reconciliation,” Dr Chan wrote on Twitter.
