A DISHEARTENED ordinary member of the Methodist Church has called upon the church\u2019s leadership to revoke President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s membership from the religious grouping.<\/p>\n
The church member, Cleopas Sanangura said Mnangagwa\u2019s membership was not in good standing and if it is not withdrawn, he (Sanangura) will himself pull out of the church.<\/p>\n
Sanangura also accuses the church of failing to protect weak and ordinary members of the fellowship adding that he no longer felt safe to be associated with Mnangagwa in the same church.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am writing this open email to you as a member of the Methodist Church. The reason for this letter is the situation in our country where the church has failed to protect the weak and the vulnerable,\u201d reads part of Sanangura\u2019s letter addressed to the Methodist Church leadership.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see the brutality happening in the country and the leader of this brutality is a member of the Methodist church in ED Mnangagwa.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have found it very difficult since he went into office why I should be associated with him in our church. I have family members that have since been killed by him but the church has remained silent about this.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see him and his wife wearing church uniform and I take it by association we are murderers as well. The President took oath to defend, protect the people and the Constitution of Zimbabwe yet he has become the enemy of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sanangura continued; \u201cCorruption is at its highest and people can\u2019t afford a meal. I, therefore, would like to request that the church revoke his membership because he is not a member in good standing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe suffering of our people cannot be associated with the Methodist Church. If the church cannot do this, I, therefore, will withdraw my membership as I cannot be part of making the suffering of Zimbabweans.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have prayed about this and the only thing the church can do is to withdraw his membership to the church.\u201d<\/p>\n
It could not be established if the Methodist Church had responded to Sanangura\u2019s request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
