Jehovah's Witnesses draw over 2000 to Bulawayo for Matabeleland mega convention

Jehovah's Witnesses convened their Matabeleland Regional Conventions at Zimbabwe International Exhibition Centre with over 2000 attendees participating in Pure Worship themed gatherings. The religious organization simultaneously conducted additional assemblies across Binga and Hwange while planning future Ndebele language sessions and a pending event in Gwanda, following the completion of the Beitbridge convention held in Venda. Regional spokesperson Witness Gama emphasized how Jesus Christ serves as the primary example for Christian living and responsible citizenship within local communities. The denomination integrated modern technology through video presentations and live streaming platforms, enabling 65 remote participants to access convention proceedings digitally. The religious group maintains three annual gathering schedules, with their final 2024 assembly planned for late November in Bulawayo.
