[article]
Titre : Mapositori Churches and Politics in Zimbabwe : Political Dramas to Win the Support of Mapositori Churches Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Obvious Vengeyi, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 351–368. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Religion Church and Politics Mapositori Zimbabwe zanu-pf and mdc Résumé : This article confirms the validity of the well known observation by scholars regarding the intrinsic interconnectedness of religion and politics in Africa. This truism is affirmed by demonstrating how Zimbabwe’s main political parties, Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (zanu-pf) and Movement for Democratic Change (mdc), contrary to their public statements appeal to religious leaders and groups for political survival. Special focus is on ‘white garment churches’ otherwise commonly known as Mapositori the biggest brand of African Initiated Churches. As such, mainline churches and traditional chiefs are considered in passing especially in order to understand the present state of affairs where Mapositori rule the roost in political matters of Zimbabwe.
