Pentecostal preachers have been attacked by Cross Borders Association boss, Killer Zivhu.
Zivhu on Saturday accused pentecostal preachers of exploiting congregants financially.

He warned members of his association not to use loan funds to pay tithes in churches instead of growing their businesses.

The man was speaking on the occasion of the announcing of a $15million RBZ fund released to assist traders.

“They (pastors) are sweet-talkers; they group you and make some of you partners, then expect more (tithes) from you,” he was quoted in the local Newsday saying.

 

He continued, “the pastor rests his hand longer in prayer on the partner than ordinary members as if to bring them closer to God yet it’s all about the money you pay.

“He was addressing about 150 aspiring members of his association at Beitbridge where he was on a recruitment drive during which he explained the $15 million revolving fund facility availed by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ).”

 

The CBTA is currently targeting 10 000 traders in Matabeleland region to benefit under the $15 million loan facility unveiled by Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ), Zivhu revealed last week.

Zivhu told the state media the facility will provide a platform for traders to formalise their operations.

He said since the introduction of bond notes cross border traders have been struggling to access foreign currency, which is critical in their business.

Dr Zivhu said this resulted in some of the traders increasing the prices of their goods, which in turn affected their business.

He said upon engaging the RBZ over support the central bank availed the $15 million loan facility that will see thousands of CBTA members benefiting.

“In Bulawayo for the mean time we’re targeting our 5 000 members, but all in all we’re targeting 10 000 people in Matabeleland region. We have members in Beitbridge, Gwanda, Victoria Falls and other districts as well,” said Dr Zivhu.

He said the new set up will ensure the security of operators as they would not need to hoard cash any more. “Now everyone is going to take their money to the bank because most of the traders were at risk of losing large sums of money. This was putting them at risk of being robbed as they had to carry cash wherever they were. Now they can use Visa cards to order more stock with that the risk of being robbed is reduced,” said Dr Zivhu.

He called on CBTA members to visit their local offices so that they can learn about the new facilities.

Dr Zivhu said members will be asked to open bank accounts with Agribank. He said they are in the process of coming up with a set up which will ensure that no one abuses the loan facility by externalising cash.

  1. They say if you want to make easy money, eat the best food in other people’s homes, have sex with single and married women, become a pastor.

  2. but this guy said the truth we all know. The majority of pentacostal pastors/preachers/prophets are in it for money. That’s why most of them when they started their churches had nothing, but a few years down the line are richer than their followers.

  3. Kufunga kweVhu zveshuwa, however you will get some countless ululations, and a standing ovation, this kind of rubbish is what people like yo hear.
