It is believed that in
Zimbabwe Christianity is one of the religion which attract more than half of
the population as compared to other religions like Bhudaism, Hinduism and
Muslims among others.
There are some studies
which were made and it was revealed that even though Christianity enjoys a wide
followship, many of them were not voting. As a result, some politicians have
seen Christian community as a green pastures for political campaigns.
Even the President of
the Republic of Zimbabwe, His Excellency Robert Gabriel Mugabe and the First
Lady Dr Grace Mugabe have realised this pasture. Soon the commencement of the
opposition political party in Zimbabwe, the president and his wife has been
seen clobbered in the Johane Marange or Masowe white regalia in solicit for
votes.
This has created an
undue influence and many ‘men and women of the clothes’ since their leaders
campaigned for him in their churches because he disguised himself as their
brethren.
This strategy has seen
even the former Vice President Joyce Teurairopa Mujuru following the suit. She has
been covered by many newspapers and these stories made the first pages both in
the private and Zimpapers newspapers.
