Bishop Sithembele Sipuka states that the Catholic Bishops in Southern Africa stand “in unconditional solidarity” with the Bishops of Zimbabwe, as they face hostilities by the Zimbabwean Government.

After Archbishop of Harare, Robert Christopher Ndlovu detailed conditions and abuses the government ignores to the people’s detriment, the Archbishop became the subject of personal attacks. These attacks have been executed by Zimbabwe’s Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Senator Monica Mutsvangwa.

“Your Pastoral letter of Friday 14 August 2020 clearly describes the hardships and problems faced by Zimbabwe, and analyses the causes, which those in authority do not want to hear. Your voice of encouragement to the people of Zimbabwe is what they needed to hear in this time of their greatest need.”

Bishop Sithembele Sipuka, President of Southern African Catholic Bishops Conference

Please pray for justice and God’s will be done!

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
