Musindo blasts churches, People First…

…likens Mujuru to Lucifer

 MUTARE– Destiny of Africa Network founder and president Obadiah Musindo has waded headlong into the raging fire of social movement, #ThisFlag led by another clergyman.

Musindo said #thisflag leader Evan Mawarire was calling misfortune upon himself by leading a movement based on personal motives using the sacred nation emblem, the flag.

He said the flag was symbolic of the struggle for independence against white colonial misrule fought by gallant sons and daughters of Zimbabwe.

“He is inviting misfortune on himself he will get the retribution of the sons and daughters of Zimbabwe whose life was shed in the liberation struggle.

“Mawarire says he has failed to pay school fees he takes the national flag, that’s where he actually lost it.

“If you scrutinize the Zimbabwean flag there is a red which represents the blood of our gallant sons and daughters whose lives were lost during the liberation against British colonialism.

“That blood will rise against Mawarire and all cohorts who want to effect regime change and hand over the country to the whites,” he said.

Musindo dismissed Mawarire, who has been thrown into international limelight, for seeking personal glory and attention.

“Mawarire is not sincere to start a national program because he has fallen on hard times, because he has failed to pay school fees for his children, even ministers fall on hard times but its no license to harp on about,” he said.

Musindo challenged church leaders not to be hypocritical by seeking to appease foreign interests at the detriment of domestic stability.

He said the same churches were silent when Morgan Tsvangirai infamously called for sanctions, which he said affected ordinary Zimbabweans and stagnated economic development.

“Tsvangirai called for sanctions to bring regime change, he wanted you to get hungry so that you could turn against President Mugabe so that he could rule but then God gave him no chance,” he said.

Musindo, an open supporter of the ruling party, blasted churches for failing to support President Mugabe for standing up against homosexuality.

“Where were these churches when Tsvangirai was calling for sanctions, they knew very well but they kept quite yet these sanctions affected ordinary people and caused economic stagnation.

“For clergyman like Mawarire to now assume national responsibility is highly hypocritical when they have kept quite on other pertinent matters.

“They were silent when the President was demonized for standing up against homosexuality, why speak now,” he said.

Musindo said progressive minds engaged with the government rather than fomenting strife and rebellion against leadership.

“The government has an open door policy, it better to engage with them, I engage the President on pertinent issues. I engage government officials on policy matters and giver them advice accordingly.

“This is the same route that should be taken by any progressive force,” he said.

Musindo said the presence of whites draped in the Zimbabwean flag in solidarity with Mawarire betrayed his paymasters, as he questioned the sincerity of the movement.

“The present of whites draped in our national flag is highly insulting especially considering the same don’t attend national events like the independence day, why feign patriotism now,” he said.

Musindo also turned his guns on Joice Mujuru whom he lashed out for being a power hungry politician with sour grapes having been fired from ZANU PF in 2014 before forming a political party.

He equated Mujuru’s ouster from the revolutionary party with a biblical allusion of the dismissal of Lucifer from heaven by God.

“Do not just follow people, Mujuru was chucked from ZANU PF having served as vice president for ten years from 2004, what can she tell us, its like Satan who cast out from heaven.

“She must just keep quite what more can she tell us now that she is out of government,” he said.
