PROPHETIC Healing and Deliverance Ministries leader, Prophet Walter Magaya held a church service on Sunday and discouraged congregants from greeting each other.
During the shortened service, Prophet Magaya reminded congregants to take precautions in the wake of the cholera outbreak which had claimed 31 lives as of yesterday afternoon.
Speaking to H-Metro after service, Prophet Magaya said he has always been championing cleanliness in Harare as seen by the numerous cleaning campaigns in recent years.
"As a church we have always been worried by the dirtiness in many parts of Harare and the reason we embarked on those several cleaning campaigns was because we feared for an outbreak like this.
"The lesson learnt is that the cleaning campaigns should be sustained by all stakeholders with the local authority playing its part and not be once offs or periodicals. We tend to take issues seriously only when there is a disaster and then relax afterwards.
"It is our hope that this time around the need for a clean environment becomes a priority for every Zimbabwean because when an epidemic like cholera hits, everyone is vulnerable."
He added that he will play his part by helping congregants in the fight against cholera.
"We have been fundraising and hopefully we will be able to put together something that our church members will be able to use in the fight against cholera."
