Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>President Emmerson Mnangagwa has reiterated the importance of peace in national development adding that violence is retrogressive.<\/p>\n

He was speaking at the ordination of Great Zimbabwe University Vice Chancellor, Professor Rungano Zvobgo, as Bishop of the African Reformed Church at Shonganiso Mission in Masvingo province.<\/p>\n

The ceremony was attended by church leaders of other indigenous churches and President Mnangagwa was the Guest of Honour. The president said:<\/p>\n

In the state, hakuna nyika inobudirira ine mhirizhonga. We can\u2019t build the country in violence, but in peace, and harmony. As leaders, whenever we find an opportunity, we preach peace, we also know that the church teaches good behaviour, there is no church which teaches wayward behaviour. If what the church does and the positive things the state does put together, we will realise development.<\/p>\n

President Mnangagwa has previously spoken about the importance of peace in Zimbabwe but cases of interparty and intraparty violence continue to be recorded.<\/p>\n

Government critics claim that ZANU PF leaders do castigate violence publicly but \u201csecretly\u201d send their supporters to attack members of the opposition to avoid responsibility.<\/p>\n

The opposition has on several occasions claimed that ZANU PF activists were attacking them, especially during election time.<\/p>\n
