In a bold and inclusive stride towards national transformation, His Excellency Dr. E.D. Mnangagwa is championing the National Multi-Faith Economic Dialogue, an initiative poised to become a powerful catalyst for unity and purpose among believers across Zimbabwe. Guided by the mantra “leave no one and no place behind,” this dialogue invites every believer, regardless of denomination, to actively participate in the country’s economic revival.At the heart of this initiative is a profound belief: that faith-based communities are not just spiritual sanctuaries, but also vital engines of socio-economic progress.
For too long, Zimbabwe has witnessed the rise of faith organisations that have delivered little tangible benefit to their congregants, often serving the interests of leaders rather than the aspirations of ordinary believers. This dialogue seeks to rewrite that narrative.
Madzibaba Obey Mapuranga, the chief convener and facilitator of the National Multi-Faith Economic Dialogue, who envisions a collective awakening, a return to the core values of love, unity, and purpose that transcend religious divides. This vision has given birth to a National Multi-Faith Economic Dialogue platform, designed to bridge differences and foster meaningful collaboration among diverse religious groups.
It provides an open space where believers can contribute their ideas, voice their hopes, and align their efforts with the national economic agenda.More than just talk, this religious economic empowerment drive lays a foundational platform for inclusive national dialogue, one where every participant feels honoured, empowered, and deeply involved in shaping Zimbabwe’s economic destiny.
This is not a call to follow; it’s a call to rise and co-create.As the nation marches forward, this faith-based economic dialogue reminds us that a few do not achieve true development, but many, together, Nyika inovakwa nevene vayo/Ilizwe lakhiwa ngabanikazi balo
