One prominent church organisation, headquartered in Harare opened its branch in Mzilikazi and Makokoba over the weekend. What was particularly interesting about their official launch of the church in the Mzilikazi, was a free clinic!
The church offered free medical services to residents of Mzilikazi and the surrounding communities on the day that they launched their branch. To me this was a nauseating way of recruiting new converts. Honestly, this is embarrassing for some who stay in the surbub were you have people travelling all the way from Harare and they say that they want to offer medical services to a community for just a single day and after that it will be no more.
What health value did the residents of Mzilikazi and the surrounding communities, who cannot afford medical care, gain from a ‘migratory and mobile’ health clinic. Surely, did the person who thought out this idea think that after visiting their ‘migratory and mobile’ clinic one will be instantly healed and there will be no need for them to receive further check ups and follow up treatment? So, then what’s the difference between the act of politicians during election time and this ‘noble’ act by the church?
