Apostolic Faith Mission (AFM) in Zimbabwe president Amon Madawo publicly declares allegiance to the ruling ZANU PF party and expresses support for President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s extended rule, according to two reports. Both outlets say the remarks are made during AFM-related events rather than in a formal political context. The New Zimbabwe report adds that Madawo makes the statements on Thursday while officiating celebrations marking the completion of the AFM Vineyard Assembly church building in Norton. In that setting, he is reported to praise Mnangagwa and to frame his stance as “I am ZANU PF.” Zimbabwe Independent similarly describes the declaration as raising questions about the political neutrality of church leaders. Neither report provides additional detail on the legal or institutional consequences of the comments, but both indicate that the public nature of Madawo’s statements draws attention within the broader debate over whether religious figures should remain politically non-aligned.
