*Government "Pampers" Mapostori* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?rj President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration has been accused of favouritism after spearheading the tarring of at least 10km of the road in Mafararikwa leading to the main shrine of the Johanne Marange apostolic sect in Manicaland. The developments followed the uproar that greeted an alleged Passover meeting by the sect that was allowed to go on despite it being in violation of measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- *Police Dismiss Reports Of Marange Sect Gathering* Speaking to The Standard, Mutare West MP Teedzayi Muchimwe, a ZANU PF and senior member of the Johane Marange sect, said he was the one who lobbied for the tarring of the road. Said Muchimwe: > We applied for the rehabilitation of the road with the ministry of Transport and Infrastructure Development targeting the Marange-Odzi road, and so far, we have rehabilitated the road from Marange Clinic to St Noah College. > We are targeting to rehabilitate the road to the Odzi area. > Yes, there are concerns about roads in diamond areas, we are looking into it and very soon we are going to see some changes. Muchimwe dismissed allegations that the sect held its annual Passover meeting in violation of COVID-19 regulations. He said police stopped some of the members, who had attempted to attend the gathering by mounting roadblocks on streets that lead to the shrine. *Johane Marange Sect Gathers Thousands In Lockdown Defiance* Meanwhile, Bocha Diamond Community Trust chairman, Moses Mukwada, said the government had shown favouritism by embarking on the road project. He said: > Roads leading to the Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Company are yet to be tarred despite several companies mining in the area, but the government chose the church for votes. > I am surprised that the government rushed to tar the road to St Noah College or to the shrine after that they just abandoned the project, this is clear favouritism. > We have many areas where diamonds are coming from and the roads are in a bad shape and we are worried very much about that and they just chose to rehabilitate the roads leading to the shrine. ZANU PF always courts the apostolic sects during elections because of their huge following in the country. *Former Health Minister Lambasts Govt Inaction On Marange Mapositori Mass Gathering* Leading ZANU PF officials, including Mnangagwa and his deputy, Constantino Chiwenga, have been spotted at mapositori gatherings clad in apostolic garb even though they are not members of the churches. *More: The Standard* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
