Speaking at a meeting which was convened by Churches in Manicaland, a religious coalition, on Friday last week, Lloyd Nyarota, a reverend who is a steering committee member said corruption and greed had reached unacceptable levels in the country and whoever is elected on July 31 will have responsibility to improve the well being of the country whose people are struggling to make ends meet.
CiM is a grouping of various church representative bodies such as Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe, Catholic Commission on Justice, Zimbabwe Council of Churches and UDACIZA.
“Whoever we elect into leadership at all levels in 2013 must take responsibility for the nation as people are struggling to stay on their feet.
“The signs of suffering prevailing throughout the country are evident in our own province of Manicaland, even though we are one of the most naturally blessed regions in the country,” said Nyarota.
Manicaland is endowed with vast fields of diamonds and other minerals and was famed in the past for farming.
He added that, as the church, they were disturbed by growing number of school dropouts and sick people failing to access medical care.
“We are also deeply concerned about school dropouts and the sick people who cannot access medical care. We worried about the elderly, both in urban and rural areas who find themselves with no means of survival,” he said, adding that forced marriages and migration of youths in search of better living conditions had worsened.
He attacked politicians for creating a culture of fear among the people, adding that the rich-poor divide was widening.
Speaking on the same occasion, another reverend, Erasmus Magiya, expressed concern over the short period of voter registration saying a number of their members were defranchised because of that.
Magiya said the exercise was painfully slow and a large number of their members could not register.
“The registration exercise was chaotic and short and we feel our members were defranchised. There is need for the extension of the time,” said Magiya, saying some of the mobile registration centres were located far away from areas where people leave.
He said they took up the matter with Zimbabwe Electoral Commission. Nyarota weighed in saying the exercise was frustrating, adding they sent one of their pastors to investigate at a local centre where he discovered that only three people were served in two hours.
Abel Wazivei of the Anglican Church said turning the fortunes of the country will need greater effort than what has been shown.
He said the character of the nation will depend on the quality of elected leadership and its citizens. Wazivei said the church was committed to assist in reconciliation.
“If someone has wronged you, seek to genuinely forgive. If you need assistance in your journey towards reconciliation, as churches were are committed to help,” said Wazivei.
CiM said all the political parties in the country should commit themselves towards peace ahead of the general elections, adding that politicians should walk the talk and desist from inciting all forms of politically motivated violence.

Most techies prefer Mozilla Firefox. As a programmer and web designer, I primarily use Mozilla Firefox when I surf the internet. Then I design and build websites, I test them in both browsers. I have come across some websites that work only in Internet Explorer. That basically means you will only sell to people who browse to your site using Internet Explorer. So maybe you do not want the business of those who surf in Mozilla Firefox. I doubt it. If you are in business, you want to make sales, period. Not just to one crowd of browser users. I’ve come across websites that could be viewed in Mozilla Firefox, but you could not place an item in the shopping cart and purchase it.
Most Flash games are web-based and run on your browser with the appropriate developer’s plug-in however what you do need is the Adobe Flash plug-in which is downloadable for free from the Adobe website.
