“The church always has a role to play in the community and actively participates in community initiatives. Today’s donation comes at a time quarantine and isolation centres are struggling to acquire proper personal protective equipment for inmates,” Moyo said.
Council spokesperson Nesisa Mpofu said: “Churches are the ones that can assist the city as they have the ability to create a difference. We are calling upon Christians to help Bulawayo to be a city on a hill and that is distinct which shows that God is alive.”
