Mnangagwa Captures AFMShareBy A Correspondent | President Emmerson Mnangagwa has deepened his administration’s engagement with the Apostolic Faith Mission (AFM) in Zimbabwe, a move critics say reflects the ruling Zanu PF’s long-standing strategy of cultivating close relationships with influential church institutions to bolster its political legitimacy. Communities across the country continue to benefit from development initiatives that uplift livelihoods, strengthen institutions and promote national unity,” she said. “The AFM in Zimbabwe stands with the leadership of this nation in pursuing development that uplifts every citizen. Presidents Robert Mugabe and Emmerson Mnangagwa have frequently attended church gatherings, funded church infrastructure projects and publicly embraced influential bishops and prophets. More recently, President Mnangagwa has intensified his engagement with apostolic and Pentecostal churches, which command some of the country’s largest congregations.
