President Emmerson Mnangagwa is attending the Annual Service of the Johane The Fifth Of Africa International Church in Mvuma, Midlands Province. Johane the 5th of Africa International Church is an apostolic sect with its origins in Johane Masowe Echishanu.
The apostolic sect was founded in 1995 by Archibishop Dr Andby Makururu. The apostolic sect has numerous branches in the SADC region ( Mozambique, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Malawi, and Zambia) and other parts of the world.
Its philosophy is based on transforming indigenous churches to suit global standards and values.
Johane the 5th of Africa International Church seeks to modernize its evangelism and believes that the use of technology is not a heathen practice but a necessary and fast way of spreading the word of God.
The church urges its congregants to register for funeral policies, embark on developmental projects, empower women and children, support government initiatives and to work hand in glove with civic society organisations.
