One of the largest indigenous African churches, Zion Christian Church (ZCC) has embarked on a number of projects that will benefit the Mbungo community and the nation at large.
The projects include a dam which is being constructed alongside two lodges that have 10 guest rooms and a conference room that will accommodate more than 60 people.
Brick moulding, farming, maize milling, mineral water packaging Boer-goats and dairy cattle farming are some of the projects underway.
Speaking during a tour of the projects on February 17, 2022, Bishop Nehemiah Mutendi said they are creating projects that will benefit the Zion community and the nation at large while he encouraged others to participate in community development.
“The projects here will be benefiting Zion community and the nation at large as people can come here for religious tourism and also religious activities. I also encourage other members to partake in community development,” said Mutendi.
Speaking at the same event, Masvingo Secretary for Provincial Affairs and Devolution Dr Jefter Sakupwanya commended the work being carried out at Mbungo and promised to support all the projects being carried out at the site.
“As we planned about today, we were people that came here to assist the ZCC church with the experience that we have as government but to be honest, after the tour many of you will agree with me that we have learnt a lot from what we have seen here.
“I would like to thank you because of the great work you are doing here and have seen the action. I want to pledge our commitment to support all the endeavours that are being held here and we have also taken down some issues that were raised and we will take them back to our colleagues so that they are attended to as soon as possible,” Dr Sakupwanya said.
