OBSERVE HOW LOAD-SHEDDING WILL REDUCE TOWARDS ELECTIONS, FR CHONDE TELLS CITIZENS
CATHOLIC Priest Fr Chalwe Chonde is urging citizens to observe how load-shedding is going to reduce as the elections approach.
He wonders whether the water levels at Kariba only increase towards the elections, saying that should not be the case.
And Fr Chonde says prophets will not stop talking as long as things are not well in the country.
In his homily, Thursday, Fr Chonde said all services should be provided for properly and not just because of the elections.
“This load-shedding we are experiencing, you will see how it will go towards the elections. In 2026, it will reduce, but should that only be the case when we are voting? No. All services should be provided properly, not just because we are going to vote, that’s when there’s power, that’s when the water levels increase [at Kariba], that’s when we have good rains. Don’t be afraid, everything will be okay. It’s hard, such that when you’re going to serve Mass, you even wear different socks because you can’t see. Even if we don’t iron these days, it’s even normal, people will understand,” he said.
And Fr Chonde said a real prophet would not keep quiet in the face of injustices.
“Isaiah has come to strengthen those who are oppressed, people who have no rights, people who have been neglected, those who cannot express themselves. Isaiah is here to speak for them, the voice of the voiceless, on behalf of God that let there be justice. A real prophet is never quiet when there are injustices. If they are quiet, then they are not authentic. Let there be justice in the land, let there be peace in the land.
When justice comes, we will keep quiet, when people are living very well, we will keep quiet. As prophets, we are going to talk when things are not okay, we will keep talking until there’s peace in the land. To shut us up, leadership should be standard, it should be good, and people should live well because when they are affected, we are also affected. Whatever is troubling people also troubles us as prophets,” said Fr Chonde.
News Diggers
But its obvious that most of the power initiatives put across by the GVT will bear fruit around mid year next year and the Government has been giving us updates on the power situation initiatives every month. Even the power improvement this month was communicated earlier by the Government just that these goons close their ears when the Government is updating the nation. This is a descent Govt that is not bent on deceiving the masses like your lost PF party were doing. stop being political because we will not respond to you as a priest but as a PF defunct chipani carder.
Iwe fatherChonde.First of all,your Bishop has banned politics at the pulpit.
Now,are you implying that government is hiding electricity in a pantry somewhere.Favorable conditions provided both by God and man have made it possible to improve on amounts power supply.It just a blessed coincidence that the blessings have come in this period of elections
Fanally,as long as we live on earth,there shall be no paradise and suffering of some people will always be a reality.So stop fooling people that when things are well,you will stop talking.You shall always be talking,father,and picking sides,for that matter
Load shedding was brought about by the severest drought that we had, so it’s common sense to know that high water levels will end the load shedding be it an election year or not. Our main source of power is hydro and hydro uses water, so if there is enough water, there can be no load shedding.
So loadshedding should only reduce after 12 August? And Government should stop doing anything good and productive to its Citizens between now and 12 August so that it is not accused of campaigning? Again if the Government folds its hands and stops working between now and 12 August, the loud shouts will be: “let us kick them out because they are not working anymore” How is the brain wired for some people?
This one is a political faza!
Indeed another defunct PF cadre seeking relevance.
Why not just go on and conduct mass wearing your pf t=shirt?
