The military junta and Zanu Pf mafia conspired to ruthlessly suppress
the national prayer meeting at Mandava Stadium in Zvishavane on 22 August 2015. Hundreds
of armed police and armoured cars were roving around the mining town of
Zvishavane since Friday evening with sirens threatening prayerful men
and women of Zimbabwe and announcing that their prayer meeting has been
banned and anyone who attempted to get to Mandava Stadium to pray will
be ruthlessly delt with by the police.
Despite the threats, thousands of men
and women in various church uniforms from different denominations
started to trickle towards Mandava Stadium around 9 am for a prayer.
They had one agenda, simply to ask the Almighty God to protect Dzamara
wherever he is and prevent the lions in whose den he might have been
thrown into from harming him. The prayer was also meant to have
Dzamara's wife and family get sufficient grace from God to survive in
such a trying and painful time of their lives. The prayer was also meant
to ask God the Almighty to soften the heart of the wicked men who
kidnapped Dzamara to repent and bring back Dzamara Itai. We thank God
for all the people who came in their thousands to pray and we say to them
your tears, sorrows and mourning as well as pains will not be in vein.
The evil ones shall be judged accordingly by the Just God in whom we believe.
Thank you Senator Lilian Timveous for giving shelter and venue in
your place for the prayer despite the hovering threat of violence from
the mafia. Thank you President Tsvangirai for coming for the prayer. You
are the President that we all deserve, a prayerful and God fearing
President is all we want in this country. Thank you all civic and
political leaders for coming for the prayer. To the mafia we say repent
and fear God and have mercy on the people of Zimbabwe and the Dzamara
family and bring back our beloved Itai Dzamara.We will continue to pray
and by faith we will conquer and be liberated from the mafia.
Vigilance
ndizvo! Oneness ndizvo! Alertness ndizvo! Confidence ndizvo! Together we will bring back Dzamara and together we will complete the
change and build a nation on good foundation of the fear of God,
justice, freedom, solidarity and equal opportunities for all.
