THE family of missing activist Itai Dzamara and the Zimbabwe Divine Destiny (ZDD) will on Saturday (July 11) hold a prayer meeting to put pressure on the police to find him.

The meeting will be held at the Zimbabwe Grounds in HIghfield and opposition leaders, among them MDC-T president Morgan Tsvangirai, Zapu president Dumiso Dabengwa and former Vice-President Joice Mujuru, are expected to attend.
According to Itai’s brother, Patson, the prayer meeting will be used to speak out against abduction.
Police banned a similar meeting last month that was set for Zimbabwe Grounds on the basis that it had been hijacked by politicians.
Dzamara went missing on March 9 after he was allegedly seized by five unidentified men who bundled him into an unmarked truck near his house in Glen View, Harare.
“The purpose of this prayer meeting is for us to come together to pray for Itai who is missing. As Zimbabweans, we need to come together and pray collectively,” Patson said.
“This will be a message to show that we don’t condone the abduction. That is the reason we are convening this. As a family, we are convening the prayer meeting with a Christian denomination led by Bishop Magaya (ZDD).”
