Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>UM News<\/b><\/p>\n

COVID-19 has taken a huge toll in countries worldwide, and Zimbabwe is no exception.<\/p>\n

United Methodist families, health care workers and congregations are feeling the strains of the pandemic. John Hopkins University reports 127 938 confirmed cases and 4 567 deaths in the southern Africa country.<\/p>\n

School lockdowns have left children vulnerable.<\/p>\n

The pandemic has wreaked havoc on schools, said the Rev. Munyaradzi Timire, Zimbabwe East Conference education secretary. Learning gaps and failing grades often lead to children dropping out of school and family conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cClosure of schools during lockdown took away the protective sanctuary for children offered by schools, leaving them exposed to sexual exploitation, drug abuse and early marriages,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In a country with many children already orphaned by AIDS, the pandemic poses new threats to vulnerable families.<\/p>\n

Dr. Emmanuel Ufonna Mefor, district medical superintendent for United Methodist Mutambara Mission Hospital, said, \u201cCovid-19 is indiscriminately cutting across everyone \u2014 the poor, the rich, the highly decorated, the ordinary, the clergy and the expecting mothers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHealth workers are stressed and suffering from fatigue,\u201d Mefor said.<\/p>\n

With churches forced to close doors temporarily, finances suffer, especially affecting clergy support and church activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince time immemorial,\u201d said the Rev. Oscar Nyasha Mukahanana, Harare East District superintendent, \u201cthe church has rooted its worship services to physical gatherings in an environment that provides close intimacy with God. Choirs and praise and worship teams, which draw people\u2019s emotions close to the Creator, are no more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe closure of church doors caused churches to suffer financially,\u201d he added. \u201cThis negatively affected the welfare of most pastors and church activities. Most of our members give when they are present in worship services, revivals and conventions. Their absence also means an absence of offerings and tithes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beginning Oct. 15, only fully vaccinated congregants can attend in-person worship. About 13% of the population is fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n

Virtual worship has proven particularly difficult for some churches.<\/p>\n

\u201cFailure to move with technology, lack of resources, poor network connectivity and lack of compatible gadgets or phones for WhatsApp and Zoom are some of the challenges, especially in most remote, rural areas,\u201d Mukahanana said.<\/p>\n

In an already tenuous economy, the pandemic also has been tough for the self-employed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile lockdowns are extremely necessary to curb the spread of the virus,\u201d said Simon Mafunda, Zimbabwe East Conference lay leader, \u201cthey have a negative side on the general performance of the economy, which has a direct bearing on the livelihood of the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of our lay members are self-employed and depend on daily small incomes from common sectors like retail and agriculture that are not performing well,\u201d said Mafunda. \u201cThe drying up of income streams is also reflected in the offering basket, as fewer and fewer people are able to make cash offerings and other forms of giving at their churches.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a result, many churches cannot pay their pastors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came up with a program, where we encourage all members to donate a dollar per month toward rural pastors\u2019 Covid-19 allowances,\u201d Mafunda said.<\/p>\n

Mutsa Mujaji chairs the Zimbabwe East Conference Council on Finance and Administration. \u201cOur cash inflows are linked to Covid-19-induced lockdowns,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen physical or in-person church worship services are suspended, income falls by up to 50%.\u201d<\/p>\n

With businesses operating at reduced capacity and for shorter hours, disposable income is curtailed.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately,\u201d Mujaji said, \u201cmost people are bringing local currency because that is what they earn, but it is susceptible to inflation. Most products, goods and services are priced in United States dollars. When we liquidate the little USD we receive, we use the official conversion rate, which is far less than the black-market rate that traders use when pricing goods and services. It is difficult to carry out reliable cash-flow projections.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to survive and ensure ministry moves forward, it is imperative to cut expenditures to the bone and pre-authorise all expenses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Expressing appreciation for the pay-a-dollar initiative, he said each rural pastor received $100 in December 2020 and $50 in April 2021, with another disbursement expected in September.<\/p>\n

Covid-19 deaths also are tearing apart families who are often unable to find closure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe closure is not dignified and very painful,\u201d said the Rev. Lancelot Victor Mukundu, Zimbabwe West Conference Board of Ordained Ministries chair. \u201cFunerals used to bring families together.\u201d Now, there are limits on attendance and time at funerals.<\/p>\n

Patricia Chizengeya, a member of Waterfalls United Methodist Church in Harare, lost both parents in two weeks due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suppression or abbreviation of funeral rituals is a traumatic experience,\u201d she said, \u201cbecause family members are prevented from paying proper homage to their loved ones, causing feelings of disbelief and indignation in many.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am still grieving,\u201d she added. \u201cAll I need is closure, which is difficult with regard to Covid-19 deaths.\u201d Families cannot visit Covid-19 patients in the hospital or view bodies before burial.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s sad,\u201d Chizengeya said. \u201cThe only consolation is that I believe it\u2019s meant to protect us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Batsi Simango oversees strategy and corporate affairs for the Nyaradzo Life Assurance Company. \u201cThe end-of-life solutions industry, in general, is currently facing various capacity constraints due to increased mortality rates as a result of the pandemic,\u201d he said. The number of funerals the agency handles has more than doubled.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Covid-19 pandemic,\u201d Simango said, \u201cmoved us to adopt quick-win interventions. We increased all resources \u2014 human, personal protection equipment and vehicles and led from the front on vaccination.\u201d<\/p>\n

CEO Phillip Mataranyika, a United Methodist, was the first to be vaccinated.<\/p>\n

Larry Tanyanyiwa, district medical superintendent for United Methodist Nyadire Mission Hospital, said vaccinations are in progress in all six clinics. By July, the clinics had vaccinated nearly 4,000 people, he said.<\/p>\n

Pharaoh Mukototsi from Jaji Village was vaccinated at the church\u2019s Dindi Clinic.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have come to be vaccinated to prevent myself against Covid-19,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Simango said his company is encouraging all citizens to minimize unnecessary movements and gatherings, wear masks, sanitize and get vaccinated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strongly believe that, together, we will improve on interventions that will ensure that we overcome this pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
