HARARE, March 7 (Xinhua) — Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa on
Monday urged churches to spread the word of peace, unity, love and
forgiveness ahead of elections scheduled for mid-2018.
“There is no need for violence. This is a new era,” Mnangagwa told church
leaders from various denominations attending the National Elders Forum. “I
will soon be meeting with my fellow leaders of political parties in
Zimbabwe to drum up the message that all of us, as leaders, must actively
shun violence, but rather exercise tolerance,” he said. Disagreements are
common in politics, but dialogue, rather than violence, is the solution to
addressing any situation, state news agency New Ziana quoted Mnangagwa as
saying. In the upcoming elections, Mnangagwa will run against a host of
other candidates, chief among them Nelson Chamisa, of the country’s largest
opposition party, MDC-T. “As voters, we must reward those who seek
dialogue and treat opponents with respect. “Let us bear in mind that we
are a family, and that what unites us as Zimbabweans is greater than
anything that can divide us,” Mnangagwa said. The Zimbabwe Council of
Churches has also been running campaigns urging Zimbabweans to vote
peacefully in the elections.
