Applications For 2025 Joshua Nkomo Scholarship Open Until 31 March

Higher Life Foundation, in conjunction with Global intercessors, has started a 90-day prayer session for Africa with a focus on Zimbabwe’s general elections scheduled for later this year.
Dubbed “Lift Up Africa”, the initiative began in 2021 mainly focusing on Zimbabwe but has now been rolled out to all African countries aimed at bringing about divine intervention on problems facing the continent.
Higher Life Foundation co-founder Tsitsi Masiyiwa said the scripture for the prayer session is Jeremiah 29 vs. 10-14. She said:
<blockquote>
Africa is on the brink of greatness with economic growth, a booming population, increased peace, and cutting-edge technology on the rise, but to truly reach our potential, we need to come together in prayer and lift up the continent to the heavens.
James 5 vs. 16 tells us that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
Now imagine the impact of thousands of people United in purpose and faith, lifting up Africa during these 90 days of prayer.
We will be praying for every region of Africa, North, East, West, Central, and Southern. We will be lifting up our aspirations for economic development, the youth, and the upcoming elections in Zimbabwe and across the continent.
Our theme scripture for this campaign is taken from Jeremiah 29 vs. 10-14, which reminds us that God has a plan for us, a hope, and a future that we should pray for peace and prosperity.
As Jesus says in Matthew 18 vs 20, For where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am with them.
So, let us come together in his name, in faith and with the guidance of our theme scripture, and watch as our prayers bring about powerful change in Africa.

Zimbabwe is expected to hold its general elections later this year, with most of the previous elections characterised by cases of politically-motivated violence. | <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/local-ngo-summons-divine-intervention-on-zimbabwe-as-elections-loom/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>

Masiyiwa's Higher Life Foundation Praying For Zimbabwe's Upcoming  Elections

High Life Foundation has donated 362 food hampers to people living with disabilities after the latter complained about being left out in COVID-19 interventions, Newdsay reports.
The donations were confirmed by Zimbabwe National League of the Blind executive director and National Association of Societies for the Care of the Handicapped chairperson, Ishumael Zhou who said:
<blockquote>We received generous donations comprising packets of 10kg Pearlenta mealie-meal, 10kg chunks, 2kg beans, 2 litres cooking oil and 500 grammes salt. This will go a long way in alleviating the hunger affecting people with disabilities at a time when the country is on lockdown. Most PWDs depend on begging, especially those that are blind, and some depend on street vending, channels which have been closed.</blockquote>
Higher Life Foundation in yet another charitable deed pledged to donate 45 ventilators to the government.

Higher Life Foundation Donates 362 Food Hampers To People Living With Disabilities

Questions have been raised over Telecoms tycoon <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Strive_Masiyiwa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Strive Masiyiwa’s</a> proposal to pay junior doctors $5 000 monthly, for the next six months so that they can return to work.
Prominent journalist, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mduduzi_Mathuthu" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mduduzi Mathuthu</a> opined that Masiyiwa is trying to buy time for ZANU PF since he is on record saying that President Emmerson Mnangagwa is “sincere”. Mathuthu wrote on Twitter:
<blockquote>It’s his money of course, but you can’t escape the feeling that a man who thinks <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Emmerson_Mnangagwa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Emmerson Mnangagwa</a> is “sincere” is trying to buy time for Zanu PF. Happy to be wrong because ultimately, our doctors need the money and patients their doctors.</blockquote>
Also commenting on Twitter, a human rights activist, who is also a medical practitioner, Dr Norman Matara says the plan is not a sustainable solution. He wrote:
<blockquote>It is not a sustainable solution. Not long term. Doesn’t address other challenges in the health sector like chronic lack of medicines and sundries.
It targets junior doctors only and not middle-level and senior doctors District and provincial doctors not included. Good intent, but it will not work.</blockquote>
Masiyiwa and his wife Tsitsi announced that their charity organisation, Higher Life Foundation, had come up with a “unilateral initiative” to set aside ZWL$100 million “medical training completion fellowship” fund that will cover up to 2 000 doctors – provided that they return to work.
The Foundation also promised to provide the doctors with a smartphone, a taxi ride from home, uniforms and diagnostic aids.
