Opposition scoff at Zanu-PF-organised rain-making prayer sessions

Opposition parties yesterday scoffed at Zanu-PF-organised rain-making prayer sessions saying the ruling party's top brass should repent from its "evil deeds" before seeking divine intervention on rains.

This came after Acting President Phelekezela Mphoko last week called on Zimbabweans to organise specific prayer meetings for the rains between Saturday and next Sunday as part of efforts to avert massive food shortages caused by erratic rains this year.

But, MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu said the same government should also pray for abducted activist Itai Dzamara's safe return if they were sincere.
