The National Judicial Council of Vapostori has appealed to all religious stakeholders and church organisations to maintain peace in the country and act against all forms of treasonous uprisings.
In a statement, National Judicial Council of Vapostori’s national director Madzibaba Obey Mapuranga said Zimbabwe deserved long-lasting peace and stability.
In 2023 Zimbabweans voted overwhelmingly for President Mnangagwa and he still had the mandate to fulfil his Presidency without any illegal obstacles, he said.
Madzibaba Mapuranga said his appeal was aimed at ensuring peace is protected across the country.
He urged all organisations to cascade the call for peace to all their members so that there is no form of illegal demonstrations.
“We all agree that Zimbabwe is a democracy, so there is no vacancy for the Presidency at the moment because everyone spoke in the 2023 elections.
“Anything that is against democracy should be treated as rebellion or anarchy,” he said.
The religious appeal for the maintenance of peace and stability has been extended to a number of prominent religious organisations such as Vapostori for Economic Development, Zimbabwe Indigenous Interdenominational Council of Churches, Zimbabwe Preachers Union, and the Apostolic Christian Council of Zimbabwe, among others.
“These religious organisations have the same mutual understanding that peace should prevail in Zimbabwe and Zimbabwe is a democratic nation.
“This appeal will be cascaded down to membership of indigenous churches so that they will not be enticed to engage in nefarious and unsanctioned activities as purported by some unscrupulous elements who have a bad agenda against an elected Government of Zimbabwe
“The National Judicial Council of Vapostori urges religious leaders to pray for His Excellency President Dr ED Mnangagwa for wisdom, health, and many more years until his God-given Vision 2030 is fulfilled.”
The National Judicial Council of Vapostori is a registered religious organisation, whose chairman is Bishop Dr Leonard Mukumba, with Bishop Philani Moyo as the deputy.
Other influential religious figures in the grouping include Apostle Biggy Mutawu and Bishop Matanhike.
