The African Christian Council International (ACCI) has written a letter to the presidential office proposing a national hero status for the late founder of ZAOGA-FIFMI, Archbishop Ezekiel Guti.
The faith icon died last Wednesday after turning 100.
In the letter, ACCI grand president Johannes Ndanga revealed that Archbishop Guti’s contributions towards peace and unity in the country has qualified him for national hero status.
“The Christian church leaders of Zimbabwe under the co-ordination of the African Christian Council International have sat down on the 7th of July 2023 to assess the contributions and accolades of the late icon,” he said.
“In terms of his contributions towards peace, unity and ambassadorship on the global level, we view him as an influential leader who brought together a lot of people to worship in Christianity. We hereby propose the national hero status as a step towards uniting the people of Zimbabwe during this critical time.”
ZAOGA FIFMI spread to 168 nations under Archbishop Guti’s able leadership.
