DEPUTY Prime Minister Thokozani Khupe has urged churches in Zimbabwe to call on politicians and get them to understand the importance of being God-fearing leaders for the good of the nation.
Speaking at a regional workshop hosted by the Catholic Professionals Network of Zimbabwe (CPNZ) in collaboration with the African Forum for Catholic Social Teaching (AFCAST) in Harare recently, Khupe said peace could only be realised with God-fearing leadership.
"If this constitution is adhered to, mark my words, the people of Zimbabwe will live in peace and harmony. They will have a better life. We are fortunate in that we have voted for a new constitution resoundingly and this constitution contains very important things; rights of children, women, of the elderly, of the workers, and of the disabled," she said.
The DPM implored the church to impress it upon politicians that the positions they held were not theirs, but God-given for the betterment and good of the country and the people they represent.
