ON Monday, church leaders, who gathered at State House at the invitation of President Emmerson Mnangagwa for a national day of prayer and fasting, declared the end of COVID-19, saying Zimbabwe would henceforth not record new cases anymore.
One of the clerics, Abel Sande, alleged that God had told him in spirit that no more new COVID-19 cases would be recorded.
Clearly, he was not on the wavelength with God because the country recorded four new COVID-19 cases on the same day.
Last year, church leaders from various denominations gathered at the same venue and declared the end of sanctions in the name of God, but almost 12 months down the line the embargo is not only yet to be removed, but was extended.
The United States has made it clear that sanctions can only be removed if the Zanu PF government undertakes the necessary political and economic reforms and stops oppressing its people.
