The recent abduction and torture of women, including political leaders in Zimbabwe, has caught the attention of leaders of the various Christian denominations in the Southern African nation who have, in a collective statement, denounced the gender-based “inhumane treatment” and called for urgent and independent investigations into the matter.
At a time when Zimbabwe is grappling with a myriad of challenges among them “the worst economic crisis since the 2017 coup which unseated (former) President Robert Mugabe,” leaders from various Christian denominations in the landlocked Southern Africa nation are calling for a seven-year suspension of politicking in what they have termed “a Sabbath on all political contestation” aimed at rebuilding trust and confidence among Zimbabweans.
