Churches have for some time been a major source of votes for politicians. The late former president of Zimbabwe, Robert Gabriel Mugabe and his wife Grace used to visit apostolic shrines or invite churches to events where they would take to the podium to campaign for their party, ZANU PF.
The trend was also adopted by president Emmerson Mnangagwa who has so far visited a number of churches. These churches have a huge number of followers whose voting decisions can be influenced by their leaders.
In the video below, a young boy, young enough to be in primary school, leads a church service, make ZANU PF slogans and congregants followed suit. Watch the video for more.
