Munyeza Accused Of Abusing The Pulpit To Push "A Nefarious Political Agenda"
Pastor Shingi Munyeza who of late has been a critic of the President Emmerson Mnangagwa led government has been accused of abusing the pulpit to champion some political agendas.
Munyeza a member of the Presidential Advisory Committee (PAC) advising president Mnangagwa has been calling for an end of the ZANU PF’s rule saying the party has failed to govern thereby causing untold suffering to the citizenry.
His remarks come when the country is submerged under acute economic and humanitarian as well as political crises manifest in the soaring inflation, shortages of fuel, food, medicines and a deteriorating democratic space.
Responding to Munyeza’s utterances, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Nick Managwana said:
(Mr) Munyeza should not hide behind the Bible when giving political rants. We want to respect men of God, but we are not going to treat religious charlatans, who are not courageous enough to come into the political arena like the rest but hide behind the Holy Book and start issuing political edicts disguised as sermons, with kid gloves.
Other clergymen to have publicly criticised the government include the outspoken Apostle Talent Chiwenga who has openly demanded that Mnangagwa relinquishes power.
