Provincial Development Coordinator for Harare : Tafadzwa Muguti Overzealous and offline.

By Bishop Ancelimo Magaya

We observe with disgust Muguti’s venomous letter, threatening to interfer with Civic society work in Harare.

His designation is provincial develpment coordinator and there is nothing developmental about his circular. He stepped out of boundary.

In his letter, he notes that some organizations have strayed from their mandate. His description of the NGOs, Faith based organizations etc is ironically descriptive of himself in that he has strayed from his core responsibilities and therefore should be dismissed with the contempt it deserves. Muguti should revisit his terms of reference.

Consolidation of authoritarisation is at work here. There is a conflation of party and state. Muguti and his handlers are being imperialistic and that undermines democracy.

All this should be looked at in light of 2023 elections which are drawing nearer. This is also happening at a time that president Mnangagwa has just deployed war collaborators to compaign for Zanu PF.

In his address to the war collaborators, he labelled MDC-A a terrorist organization. Muguti’s letter is also insinuating the same for the civic society and church organizations .

This would be resisted. Unjust laws are not laws. This is an illegal legality. Be ready for a season of relentless resistance from a section of the church and the general citizens who are cognisance of the full worthy of human diginity and God given rights enshrined in the holy scriptures and the constitution of Zimbabwe.

To all Zimbabweans, let us all pray together the prayer that Jehoshaphat prayed many years ago ” O our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you.” (2 Chronicles 20 vs 12).

GOD SAVE ZIMBABWE

Emmerson Mnangagwa
