Zimbabwean churches faced scrutiny over whether they were speaking strongly enough on national issues, including Vision 2030 and potential constitutional changes. Some leaders said the church had gone silent due to weak leadership, while others stated it continued to engage in government policy. Zanu-PF figures urged religious leaders to support extending President Mnangagwa’s tenure and to back national development goals, deepening the political debate over the church’s role.
