Police Commissioner-General Augustine Chihuri turned to the holy book while officiating at the handover and send-off ceremony for the contingent which is travelling to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for the seventh edition of the Southern African Regional Police Chiefs Cooperation Organisation (SARPCCO) games.
Prior to his speech Chiwuri said: "Isn't this a wonderful day that the Lord has made," and went on to sing a gospel song "You are wonderful Jehovah, Wonderful Jehovah . . ."
Chihuri went on to quote Acts 20:35: "There is greater blessing in giving than in receiving," and Luke 6:38: "Give and it shall be given unto you"
As he completed his speech, the Commissioner-General again went Biblical, quoting Genesis 27:3: "Go well, your journey has the Lord's approval. So take your arrows and your bow and go out to the field and get meat for me."
A total of 156 officers are set to compete for honours at the games to take place in the DRC, starting next week on Monday.
