Zimbabwe: The men of god surrounding President Mnangagwa

Some of the most prominent clergymen in Zimbabwe continue to embrace President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his policies. Who are these men of god?

With economic depression and political repression in Zimbabwe, analysts say one would have expected all the clergymen in the country to emulate South Africa’s fearless cleric Archbishop Desmond Tutu – who used the pulpit to fight apartheid – to speak truth to power. Instead, some of the most prominent ones have embraced President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his policies since he came to power.

“Such a rare breed of ecclesiastics with enough moral stamina to warn President Mnangagwa against looting national coffers and brutalising citizens are still to emerge in Zimbabwe,” says a political analyst who prefers to stay anonymous.

Three weeks before the citizen-backed military coup that dethroned the late president Robert Mugabe in 2017, Mnangagwa had been fired for “traits of disloyalty”.

When Mnangagwa took over the presidency in November 2017, he told his supporters that “the voice of the people is the voice of God”.

Many church leaders quickly embraced him even though his ascension to power was through a coup. Four months later, a local newspaper, The Herald, published an article saying churches had endorsed the “new dispensation” led by Mnangagwa.

 In the run up to the 2023 elections, the churches rallied behind Mnangagwa under #pastors4ED campaign on social media.

Here are five clergymen who have built close ties with the president:

Angel (born Uebert Madzanire) is a Zimbabwean-British evangelical preacher and the founder of Pentecostal ministry Spirit Embassy, which has a following in dozens of countries across four continents. He presents himself as ‘man of God’ and his followers refer to him by this title.

Mnangagwa appointed him as Zimbabwe’s ambassador at large and presidential envoy, following two weeks of induction and a training programme for diplomats in Harare.

A March 2023 Al Jazeera investigation linked Angel to a global money laundering operation. It showed how funds were illegally channelled to Zimbabwe and traded for gold from local mines. The gold would then be sold again for ‘clean’ money.

The government froze his financial assets and bank accounts, as well as those of others implicated in the documentary, for investigation. But a month later, the authorities reversed the decision saying investigations had stopped as there was no wrongdoing.

Angel resumed his ambassadorial role, representing Zimbabwe in Europe and the Americas, while Parliament Speaker Jacob Mudenda blocked legislators from conducting their own independent investigations into money laundering allegations against him.

Angel’s international company, the Billion Group, has interests in several businesses, including a bank, Sam Barkeley Construction, Atom Mobile and Picasso Hotels. Angel is the author of several books on how to make money.

Mutendi, referred to as ‘His Grace’ by his followers, is the leader of the Zion Christian Church (ZCC), one of the largest churches in Zimbabwe. His support for Mnangagwa and the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) party is no secret.

At a public event in May 2018, Mnangagwa said Mutendi’s late father, Bishop Samuel Mutendi – who founded ZCC — foretold his “rise to power” as far back as 1964. The president and younger Mutendi enjoy cordial relationships.

In September 2020, Mnangagwa toured Mutendi’s wheat farm in Nyika, within Zimbabwe’s Masvingo Province, a manifestation of their deepening ties.

With a large following in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Mozambique, and other denominations of the church in Europe, Mutendi has used church gatherings as campaign grounds for ZANU-PF since 2017. The church headquarters in Masvingo can accommodate up to 40,000 people.

Mutendi has been making headlines for delaying payment for the company that designed the building. The firm, Empire Designs, is also yet to receive payment of around $800,000 for the design of Mutendi’s schools and wellness centres across Zimbabwe.

Mutendi is not new to controversy. In 2014, he displaced more than 1,000 farmers from their land to construct church properties. The farmers, who had settled there following Zimbabwe’s land redistribution programme, alleged that Mutendi was fraudulently given an offer letter yet the cabinet had been dissolved five days before the 2013 elections.

“His offer letter is dated 26 July 2013. Most of us here got [our] offer letters way back [in] 2009. Now Mutendi wants to take over 500 hectares of Central Estates Farm, particularly the headquarters area,” said a farmer, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Central Estates Farm used to belong to mining and properties magnate Nicholas van Hoogstraten before the government took over the land. At its peak, Van Hoogstraten’s farm used to keep over 60,000 cattle for beef.

Makandiwa (whose real name is Shingirai Chirume) is a controversial pastor in the capital Harare and one of the richest clergymen in the country. His establishment, the United Family International Church (UFIC), has a large footprint in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Botswana and Zambia, with an online presence through his DSTV channel Emmanuel TV.

In 2015, agents from the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority visited the UFIC offices in Harare, demanding books of accounts, following accusations that the church was accumulating millions of dollars but not paying tax. Makandiwa’s spokesperson Prime Kufa said his church had no issues with the taxman, claiming that he was a victim of conspiracy theories.

In the run up to the 2023 election, Makandiwa invited Mnangagwa to his church in Chitungwiza Dormitory town. With an audience of approximately 60,000 people, he gave the president and his deputy, Constantino Chiwenga, an opportunity to campaign during the services.

UFIC sits on a wetland, which according to the by-laws is a no-construction zone. But Makandiwa’s proximity with the first family has deterred the authorities from pursuing the matter.

Last year, Makandiwa’s flamboyant multi-million-dollar mansion sparked heated conversations on social media. The mansion revived the issues of lifestyle audits, which influential clergymen evade while the taxman focuses on smaller churches.

Passion Java (whose real name is Panganai Java) is a famous pastor and leader of Passion Ministries. He is a mentee of Uebert Angel – who he named his son after — and a friend of Mnangagwa, as well as a staunch supporter of the ZANU–PF.

The preacher never shies away from flaunting his wealthy lifestyle online. He does this on a daily basis, praising Mnangagwa while chiding opponents of the ruling party. His late mother was a senator in parliament under the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) Alliance.

Java and his church have a larger following in the United States, where spends most of his time overseeing properties that he owns.

Ahead of the 2023 elections, Java hosted Congolese musician Koffi Olomide in Zimbabwe where he produced a song under the pastor’s record label. The song, which praised Mnangagwa, drew criticism from Zimbabweans online as well as members of the opposition.

Java also made headlines in South Africa after he reportedly spent R1.3m ($68,506) at a club in Pretoria to celebrate the birthday of Boss Lashaan, the manager of Passion Java Label.

In March 2022, over 9,000 people signed an online petition calling on the American authorities to deport Java over his alleged role in violation of human rights in Zimbabwe. He is yet to be deported.

Wutawunashe, the founder of the Family of God Church (FOG), is popular for leading national prayer days. His church has a steady following in Zimbabwe and other Southern African countries.

Wutawunashe, who has been allied to the ruling party for decades, endorsed Mnangagwa soon after the disputed 2023 elections, telling the opposition’s Nelson Chamisa to “swallow his pride”.

“As you can see, President Mnangagwa is genuinely popular,” Wutawunashe told the press in an interview during the inauguration.

The West End Serial Killer: Prophet, Healer, Killer

To the community of Waterworks settlement, Westonaria, he was a devout prophet of the Zion Christian Church (ZCC) and a sangoma who could heal their pains and help with personal troubles. But to his victims, Jack Mogale was a brutal predator who lured them into his car before bludgeoning or strangling them to death and then sexually assaulting them.

Discovery

It was mid-May 2010, early winter in Johannesburg, South Africa. A group of woodcutters was gathering wood in a field next to the West End Clay Brick factory, 24 kilometers south west of the Johannesburg CBD and less than a kilometer from the Waterworks settlement when one of the men came across a skull protruding from the ground near to the railway line.

The police were called, and they requested a specialist forensics team from Pretoria, 50 kilometers to the north. The skeleton was carefully exhumed, revealing a woman’s winter clothing including a black skirt and blouse, a check winter jacket, and a pair of boots and some hair extensions.

Hanyaleni Mhangwani had disappeared two years before, on 17 March 2008, after being followed home by a man she was testifying against in court that day.She was a fruit vendor, working in the Johannesburg CBD trying to make enough money to support her small children. Struggling against poverty like so many other women in South Africa. Jack Mogale had conned her into buying a small plot of land he didn’t own, so that she could build a proper house for her family.

After Hanyaleni’s discovery, police spokesperson Captain Mbulaheni Netshivhodza revealed that their had been more bodies found in that same field. Many more.

The Waterworks Informal Settlement where Mogale lived.

Between 2008 and March of 2009, the bodies of 15 women and a toddler were found grouped together in Lenasia, Westonaria, and Venterspos (slightly further away than the other areas, but linked by professional linkage analysis due to other factors).

All of the women were sexually assaulted and violently murdered with whatever weapons the suspect could find close at hand. He used items of the victims clothing as ligatures, bricks and rocks as clubs, or his bare hands.

Survivor

Then, on the 14th of March 2009, an 18 year old girl stumbled out of the veld near the West End Brick and Clay factory. She was partially naked, terribly disfigured from a brutal beating, but she was alive, and she had one hell of a story to tell.

The day before, 13 March 2009, she was offered a lift by Jack Mogale. She recognised a woman and her two children who were also in the cream Volkswagen, so she accepted the lift. Mogale dropped the woman and her children off at their destination and the young lady moved to the front seat. They continued their journey, and Mogale told her that he was a ZCC member who could heal people. He also told her that he was a prophet and he could see that she was destined to be married to a rich man, but that before that could happen, he (Mogale) would need to cleanse her of the “bad things” which were preventing her from meeting this rich man. She declined his offer.

When they reached the outskirts of Westonaria instead of turning left towards the town centre he turned right and accelerated the car so that she could escape. He stopped at some thickets near the municipal sewage farm. He then swiftly got out of the car and rushed the passenger side before she could get out. Mogale pulled her out of the car and started to molest her.

She resisted and fought back, ripping off the sangoma bead necklace from Mogale’s neck, scattering the beads around the area. Mogale then bashed her head with a stone or brick, also strangling her at the same time until she lost consciousness.

She regained her consciousness about 24 hours later, that is the following day. She was naked and her pants, underwear and Samsung cellphone were missing. She covered her lower body with her jersey and managed to get help from a worker at the sewage works who phoned for an ambulance.

At the hospital she was told that she had been raped and sodomised. Her head and face were so severely disfigured that she had to spend a long time in hospital unable to speak and had to undergo facial reconstruction surgery.

Arrest

Captain Manthata of Westonaria Police Station was investigating the string of murders when she received a report about the experiences of the young girl. She recognised the description of the attacker, especially the unusual combination of the ZCC badge and sangoma beads. Together with Constable Mohlokwane they identified Mogale as the attacker and they went to Mogale’s shack on a recon mission. Outside the shack was the white Golf with registration plates that matched the description of the vehicle the young lady was last seen in.

On the night of 27 March 2009, Capt Manthata led a team of police and arrested Jack Mogale at his shack where he was found in bed with his girlfriend. Various items including a Samsung cellphone, multi-coloured sangoma beads, twine, women’s clothing and underwear were found.

During his arrest, Mogale’s hands were cuffed in front of his body, and he unzipped his pants and urinated on female police officers.

On 14 April 2009, Mogale confessed to Brigadier Piet Byleveld in a warning statement that he had kidnapped the 18 year old, how he manhandled her from the car, how he assaulted her with a brick, and how he strangled her until she lost consciousness. He then mentions raping her.

When the state brought charges against Mogale in March of 2011, they charged him with 18 counts of kidnapping, 19 counts of rape, 16 counts of murder, one count of attempted murder, and other charges including robbery, fraud, and escaping lawful custody.

Mogale pleaded not guilty to all the charges brought against him, and insisted throughout the trial that he wasn’t involved, knew nothing, had never seen the women. He lied at every opportunity, and was often caught out at it.

He was found guilty of 52 of the 61 charges brought against him, including 19 of rape, 9 of kidnapping, and 16 of murder. He was sentenced to 16 concurrent life terms plus 23 years in jail.

In his judgement, Judge NF Kgomo said of Mogale “It is also clear that human life is of no value to people like the accused. He is a terror, a terrible terror! Lord of the lonely spots and bushes who goes around in search of women to rape and murder! Before whom all women must give way or be smitten to nothingness and everlasting night.”

In his own statement to Brigadier Byleveld, Mogale said:

“DIRECTOR, I WANT YOU TO HELP ME BECAUSE WHEN I AM WITH A WOMAN, I LOSE CONTROL AND DON’T KNOW WHAT I AM DOING. I KILL ALL OF THEM IF THEY DON’T GIVE ME WHAT I WANT.”
