The Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) participated in the Zimbabwe Agricultural Show in Harare, providing a platform for Zimbabwean returnees to showcase their businesses, connect with customers, and explore new market opportunities.

Through the Home Office Returns and Reintegration Programme, supported by the UK Government, ZCC assists eligible Zimbabwean nationals returning from the United Kingdom to rebuild their lives and livelihoods through tailored reintegration support.

Programme participants have established and are growing businesses across sectors including agriculture, dairy farming, metal fabrication, manufacturing, and food production, contributing to local economic activity and community development.

The Agricultural Show provided an opportunity for these entrepreneurs to promote their products, expand their networks, and share their experiences of rebuilding their livelihoods.

Together, we are supporting sustainable reintegration and creating opportunities for returnees to contribute positively to their communities and Zimbabwe's development.

Last week, from 25-28 August 2026, the Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) joined faith leaders, policymakers, civil society and other stakeholders at the 6th African Conference on Debt and Development (AfCoDD VI) in Nairobi, Kenya, held under the theme “From Fragmentation to Influence: Advancing the Common African Position on Debt.”

A key moment for ZCC was the side session co-hosted with the All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC), which brought faith actors and other stakeholders together to reflect on the changing nature of Africa’s debt landscape and the continued role of the Church in advancing debt justice.

The conversation reaffirmed that debt is not merely an economic issue - it affects people's access to healthcare, education, livelihoods and sustainable development. Faith communities therefore have an important prophetic role in speaking truth to power and standing with communities affected by unjust systems.

The discussions are particularly relevant for Zimbabwe as the country continues its journey towards arrears clearance and debt resolution, reinforcing the need for a transparent, accountable and people-centred approach to achieving sustainable debt solutions.

“Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed.” - Isaiah 1:17.

International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances

Today, the Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) joins the global community in commemorating the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances and standing in solidarity with victims, survivors and families who continue to live with the pain and uncertainty of not knowing the fate or whereabouts of their loved ones.
Enforced disappearance leaves behind more than an absent person, it leaves families searching for answers, communities carrying unanswered questions, and loved ones longing for truth, justice and closure.
As people of faith, we affirm the dignity and sacredness of every human life and continue to pray and work for a world where every person is protected, where truth is not buried, and where justice and accountability prevail.

“For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.” - Luke 8:17

The Reformed Church in Zimbabwe (RCZ) is gathered for its 34th Synod Assembly, a significant moment of worship and reflection as the Church considers its calling and mission. A key moment of the Assembly has been the election of a new Moderamen, led by Moderator Rev. Dr. E Baloyi to provide leadership and guidance to the Church

The Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) joined the Assembly today in ecumenical fellowship and solidarity. Ms Maria T Dendere, Head of Programme for Humanitarian Services & Diakonia, delivered the ZCC’s ecumenical greetings and solidarity message on behalf of the ZCC General Secretary, Rev Wilfred Dimingu.

In the message, Rev. Dimingu celebrated the RCZ’s longstanding contribution to the ecumenical movement and to Zimbabwe through evangelism, education, healthcare, community development and public witness. He encouraged the Church to continue strengthening unity, nurturing accountable leadership, empowering women and young people, caring for vulnerable communities and responding faithfully to the realities facing our nation. As churches, we are reminded that “although we are many members, we belong to one body” (1 Corinthians 12). In this spirit, ZCC reaffirms its commitment to journeying with RCZ in advancing Christian unity, strengthening the Church’s public witness and serving the people of Zimbabwe.

We celebrate this important gathering with the RCZ and wish them a fruitful and blessed 34th Synod Assembly.

Zimbabwe Council of Churches has received a donation from the United Methodist Church to support its ongoing efforts towards assisting Zimbabwean citizens returning from South Africa. The consignment comprises an assortment of food and non-food items.

The donation was officially received on behalf of the Zimbabwe Council of Churches at a handover event held in Harare.

The Zimbabwe Council of Churches is complementing Government efforts to provide a safe and dignified return and reintegration for Zimbabwean citizens returning from South Africa.

Since the start of the crisis in June 2026, ZCC has responded directly and through its network of member churches by providing food, personal hygiene items, bus fare to final destinations, health support, psychosocial care, and spiritual accompaniment to individuals in need. These services are being delivered in close collaboration with multisectoral Government teams coordinated by the Civil Protection Department at the port of entry in Beitbridge and at other designated temporary waiting centres established across the country.

ZCC is grateful to the United Methodist Church for answering the call and standing in solidarity with returning citizens. This gesture is a testament to the role of the Church beyond the pulpit, demonstrating faith through actions that uphold dignity, safety, and hope in times of crisis.
