The African Christian Council International (ACCI) is set to spearhead a grant campaign in Kadoma, Zimbabwe, aimed at addressing the escalating cases of murder in the country. The initiative comes as Kadoma, like many other parts of Zimbabwe, grapples with a surge in violent crimes, particularly among youths.
According to ACCI Grand President, Prof. Archbishop Ndanga, the campaign will be accompanied by a cleansing program designed to raise awareness among members of the public. The event, scheduled to take place this Saturday at the Donain Centre in Kadoma, will bring together representatives from various churches, civic society organizations, and government officials.
Prof. Archbishop Ndanga emphasized the need for collective action to address the rising tide of violence in Zimbabwe. “The purpose of this engagement is to cleanse the places where murders of innocent individuals have been taking place. We also aim to raise awareness about the devastating consequences of violence and promote a culture of peace and tolerance,” he said.
Ndanga expressed concern over the growing influence of foreign cultures that promote violence and harm, leading to a rise in killings and murder in Zimbabwean society. “As religious institutions, it is our duty to ensure that Zimbabwe remains a peaceful nation. We urge all citizens to desist from the practice of killing one another and instead promote love, forgiveness, and reconciliation,” he added.
The ACCI grant campaign in Kadoma is part of a broader effort to promote peace, stability, and social cohesion in Zimbabwe. As one of the largest Christian institutions in Africa, ACCI is committed to working with local communities, government agencies, and other stakeholders to address the root causes of violence and promote a culture of peace and non-violence.
The African Christian Council International (ACCI) is a pan-African Christian organization with representations across the globe. ACCI works to promote peace, stability, and social cohesion in African communities, while also advocating for human rights, justice, and reconciliation.
