Zim needs hope: Tsvangirai

POLITICAL leaders and the church should preach a message of hope for the millions of suffering Zimbabweans ahead of the watershed 2018 general elections, MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai has said.

Addressing thousands of Methodist Church in Zimbabwe congregants gathered at the National Sports Stadium to celebrate 40 years of the autonomy of the church yesterday, Tsvangirai said hope and faith should not be lost.

“As leaders, from politicians and our bishops here and other churches, we must inspire hope to the people and not despair because our people have been visited upon with a lot of despair and we need to inspire our people that there is hope,” he said.
