Patson Dzamara comments on Makandiwa's request for people to 'sacrifice' money in order to have a prosperous 2017

Activist and author, Patson Dzamara has commented on Emmanuel Makandiwa‘s church United Family International Church‘s request that people should sacrifice various amounts of money in order to secure a good year.

In a lengthy Facebook post Dzamara said that it’s not necessary for people to trade insults over the issue or to force those who do not believe to ‘seed’ their money. Wrote Dzamara:

It’s very simple. As far as I understand, unless if I missed something, no-one was cajoled to participate. No-one pointed a gun on anyone to partake in that. Neither have I come across a place whereby any of those people complaining were asked by anyone who believes in that to help them pay or ‘sacrifice’ the money. It’s their money, their choice and that has to be respected. I find it ridiculous and unpalatable that there are some people who seem to think they are ordained and entitled to tell how people should use their money. They worked for it or they got it whichever way but the bottom line is that it’s theirs. They reserve the right to choose what to do with their money. If that works for them, fair and fine. If it doesn’t work for you, fair and fine too but there is no need to fight over that. On the other hand, those who believe in the sowing or whatever business they participate in at their churches must be tolerant too. If need be and time permitting they must engage others who may register diverging views in a progressive manner. One’s good is not everyone’s good.
