A religious leader has spoken out against criticism directed at several wealthy businessmen linked to the ruling party, praising their charitable work and economic contributions. Reverend Dr Obediah Musindo, who heads the Destiny of Africa Network, defended figures such as Kudakwashe Tagwirei, Scott Sakupwanya, Paul Tungwarara, and Sir Wicknell Chivhayo during remarks to church affiliates and staff over the weekend.
Musindo told more than 200 attendees that these donors have provided meaningful support to ZANU-PF operations and helped improve conditions for citizens previously living in difficult circumstances. He noted that while numerous entrepreneurs have secured government contracts, relatively few have channeled resources back into communities or political structures. The church leader compared their giving model to administrative practices in China and cautioned against sabotage by individuals who claim party loyalty while working against its interests.
He also credited ZANU-PF with creating favorable conditions for religious freedom and local business development. Musindo called for solidarity among party members and government officials to advance Vision 2030, the national development plan championed by President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
