The Constitution Is To The State What The Bible Is To The Church - Jonathan Moyo Weighs In On Elections Suspension Call
Exiled former education Minister has weighed in on the election suspension call made by Rev Mtata from ZHOCD. Using his official Twitter handle, the fundi said;
The call is absurd & unconstitutional. Elections cannot be suspended without amending the Bill of Rights, thus necessitating a referendum. The Constitution is to the State what the Bible is to the Church. Feedom of religion is fundamental, as is the separation of Church & State!
The call has been met with some hostility in some circles. Deputy Minister Mutodi even took it a bit further by insulting the Reverend that made the call by saying he is a fool, a false prophet and demon-possessed.
