“Peace will always be a key factor today, tomorrow and the day after.
“Peace amongst ourselves will unleash our collective potential and guarantee that we lift each other up, irrespective of whether one runs a small or a big business, or whether one is Zanu PF or MDC.
“Indeed, peace is the missing link in this country.
“We can lay plans, draw up lofty visions, craft comprehensive economic policies but all that can only be achieved in an environment of peace and tolerance.
“So as the leadership of this country, we will strive to create and encourage peace in Zimbabwe so that everyone has the freedom to pursue and live their dreams,” said PM Tsvangirai before he sought to put straight a misqoute of his previous speech by some media houses.
“Last week, I attended the National Day of Prayer for Peace and I was humbled by the thousands of people who turned up to pray for a peaceful Zimbabwe, especially as we go towards the next election.
“I am quite aware that my speech there was misquoted by I will repeat what I said in the full hope that you will agree with me on this one.
“As chief executive officers and key players in business, I urge you to pray for us as the national leadership so that God guides us and gives us the necessary wisdom as we navigate this delicate transition.
“Indeed, President Mugabe and I deserve your prayers as we have been entrusted with the stewardship of this nation.
“Pray for us in your factories, in your homes and in your churches but above all, pray for Zimbabwe so that his land is blessed and that we achieve our collective dreams and aspirations.
“Without God, we are doomed to fail.
“So while we pray for a $100 billion economy by 2040, I also want to say Zimbabwe for Jesus by 2040!”(ZimEye, Zimbabwe)

  5. SPOT ON Morgan….
    Peace and abundance for all go together hand in hand… This is usually what politicians and businesses don’t understand

  6. The PM has got it wrong here.You don’t preach the word to bussiness people.Lets not forget that the world is multi-faith and he risks offending others here.Moreso, as Chandokupisa writes, there are other key issues at stake although Political stability is the core to all.

  7. He forgot that he was addressing business people who wanted to know how best was the GVT tackling some of the thony economic issues such as liquidity crunch,shortage of capital for industrial recapitalisation the impact of the sanctions etc,he spoke as if he was at a rally atMurambinda growth point.
