Staff Reporter| Primary and Secondary Education Minister Lazarus Dokora was booed and labelled a Jihadist and a Fundamentalist when he ranked Islam as the number 1 religion for Zimbabwe. Minister Dokora claimed to parents and teachers yesterday that at independence in 1980, Islam was Zimbabwe’s first religion also calling it the nation’s “re-designated indigenous religion.”
The minister last year banned the Bible and voluntary club Scripture Union before reinstating the organisation following protests after falsely claiming that it is part of the education curriculum.
Speaking yesterday, Dokora listed the Islamic religion as number one for Zimbabwe while pushing Christianity down to number 4.
While addressing panelists at a function covered by ZimEye.com, Dokora responded saying (VIDEO LOADING):
“And then of course there were the questions raised that: ‘is my my child going to be taught Islam?, is my my child going to be taught indigenous religion?’ said Dokora.
He continued saying, “in 1980 the curriculum that we fashioned for the republic, includes Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Christianity, Bhudiism. I was a teacher, I was just a teacher in the classroom, and those were introduced at Grade 2.”
He reiterated his comment that the curriculum has always had the religions in the order laid out according to his list.
“Do you think we should take these themes and teach them to ECB? Can I follow your thread, because you think its a new thing, and I am trying to get you to appreciate that it has always been there in the formula (order) that I have described to you..” WATCH THE FULL VIDEO BELOW:

THIS MAN SHOULD BE STOPPED BEFORE HE CHANGES THE WHOLE SOCIETY!!! Primary and Secondary schools!!! That sound like he has a mission to recruit Jihadists in the next 10 to 15 years!!!
Suicide bombers on the way…. nhaka!
Saka since he is Muslim, does that mean anoita zvaanoda nesu ma Christians just because he is a cabinet minister
Bingo! that was the gut feeling when he first opened his mouth on certain issues the man should not be taking sides with any religion
What are the human rights and members civil society thinking of this ?
Well If President RG does not fire Minister Lazarus Dokora for his Islamic stance… he is then repaying evil to the very missionaries who gave him a smart education and trained him to be President when conditions were not permitting..
We used to wonder why ZANU PF is violent party . Kandi hayi they are worshipping this ?
If President RG does not fire Dokora for his Islamic rhetoric, then Zanu PF is shifting and can no longer be considered a Christian Party
