The Church in Zimbabwe has urged collaboration with the government to strengthen and promote human dignity, justice, and moral values so as to build a society that respects life and protects the vulnerable.
Following the abolition of death penalty in Zimbabwe by President Emmerson Mnangagwa on December 31, 2024, the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace in Zimbabwe (CCJPZ) has called upon the government to collaborate with the Church in promoting human dignity, moral values, and social justice in the spirit of the Jubilee year of hope.
The pastoral message, signed by the CCJPZ and Catholic Parliamentary Liaison Office (CPLO) Chairman, Bishop Rudolf Nyandoro of Gweru diocese, calls for a strengthened partnership between religious institutions and the state to create a more just and compassionate society, where every individual is valued and protected.
