Johane Masowe Bishop Urges Followers To Join ZANU

Bishop, Emmanuel Mutumwa of Johane Masowe weChishanu has urged his followers to join Zanu Pf structures insisting that Zanu Pf is doing developmental projects which is alleviating Zimbabwean economy.

He said this in Bulawayo yesterday at an event, which took place at the church shrine in Selbourne Park where President Mnangagwa donated a consignment of 50 000 face masks to members of the Johane Masowe weChishanu Apostolic sect as part of the fight against Covid-19.

The donation was handed over by Industry and Commerce Deputy Minister Raj Modi.

Speaking during the event after the donation, the leader of Johane Masowe weChishanu, Bishop Emmanuel Mutumwa urged his followers to join the ruling party Zanu PF describing President Emmerson Mnangagwa as a good leader whilst reiterating that they were prepared to work with the government to foster developmental projects.

“As a church, we have seen it wise to join Zanu PF because of the effective leadership of our President Cde ED Mnangagwa, there are a lot of developmental projects across the country that the Second Republic is doing in all sectors of the economy.

“As the leader of the church, I am convinced that as a church we should work with the Government, which is Zanu PF to push the development. I therefore urge our congregants to get involved so that Zimbabwe prospers.” he said.

Furthermore, Bishop Mutumwa also appealed to the government to avail land for mining and farming to empower the elderly, women and orphans.

“As a church, we have a large following and we are therefore appealing to the government to assists us by providing a farm and a mine to help economically empower our unemployed youths and boosting food security in the country.

“I believe a mine for the church will help empower the women and youths economically in line with Vision 2030. The farm will enable them to venture into various income generating projects.” he added.

The church, whose history dates back to 1931, is head-quartered in Bulawayo with branches spread across the country.

Meanwhile Johanne Masowe weChishanu is struggling to raise funds for the construction of a multi-purpose centre, which they expect will house an orphanage, old people’s home, a community centre and a nursery at their designated site in Selbourne Park.
