T
he Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC), working in partnership with the University of Zimbabwe, held the 2026 Post-Budget and NDS2 Analysis Meeting in Harare this week. The gathering came shortly after the presentation of the 2026 National Budget and the launch of NDS2 (2026–2030), creating a crucial platform for faith leaders, academics, and policymakers to reflect on the country’s development path.
The event opened on a high note, beginning with Welcome Remarks and a profound Theological Reflection titled “Abundant Life as Our Guiding Vision.” The reflection was delivered by Moderator Rev. Botomani, a member of the ZCC Supervisory Council, who anchored the discussion in Scripture.
Rev. Botomani reminded participants that Christian engagement in national processes must be rooted in the biblical promise of life in its fullness, quoting Jesus’ words from John 10:10:
“I have come that they may have life, and have it in abundance.”
He clarified that this “abundant life” does not imply excessive wealth or privilege for a select few, but rather a just, dignified, and holistic quality of life for every Zimbabwean.
“As we analyze the 2026 Budget and NDS2, we do so not only as economists, activists, academics, and public servants but as stewards of a sacred mandate: to shape a nation where every Zimbabwean can taste the fullness of life God desires,” he said.
The meeting set a tone of hope-centered and faith-driven engagement, encouraging Zimbabweans to stay informed, participate actively, and help shape policies that reflect Christian values of justice, compassion, and shared wellbeing.
