Apostle Edmore Makotore appealed to authorities such as the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe to train ambassadors within indigenous churches. “We need traffic safety officers to engage with our congregations during gatherings and help spread awareness,” he said.
Makotore also highlighted the dangers of hiring unregulated transporters, some of whom may drive under the influence of alcohol. “Churches must also take a stand against drug and substance abuse, which contributes to societal decay,” he added.
Archbishop Busani Sibanda, founding leader of TUAFC, called for psychological and spiritual assessments of transporters before engagement. “Accidents can stem from socio-economic stress or spiritual afflictions.
Churches must be equipped to discern and counsel accordingly,” Sibanda said.
He further emphasised the need to empower youth through training and incentives to combat drug abuse and uphold cultural values.
Meanwhile, six-year-old Ivainashe Makotore delivered a poetic tribute to Zimbabwe’s national heroes – both living and late – including President Emmerson Mnangagwa – for their role in securing freedom of worship for indigenous churches.
