Zanu PF Youth League Boss Attacks Church Leaders Over Mnangagwa Third Term Agenda
By A Correspondent
A stern warning has been issued by Taurai Kandishaya, a Zanu PF youth league official, to church leaders who spoke out against President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s bid for a third term in office. This comes after a group of church leaders released a joint statement urging President Mnangagwa to respect the country’s constitution and refrain from extending his rule beyond 2028.
Kandishaya’s response, posted on Facebook, cautioned church leaders not to interfere, stating that they must understand their boundaries. His message was widely interpreted as a direct threat to those opposing the President’s third-term bid.
This warning has sparked significant controversy, with critics arguing that it reflects the increasing political pressure on religious organizations in Zimbabwe. The church’s involvement in politics has long been a sensitive issue, with many fearing government intimidation to silence opposition.
As the debate surrounding Mnangagwa’s future grows, Kandishaya’s statement signals escalating tensions between the ruling party and those holding it accountable to the constitution.
