Pluralising Health Practices in Zimbabwe: A Phenomenological Reflection on the Voice of the Apostolic Health System in Zimbabwe
This article explores the Apostolic health system in Zimbabwe through a phenomenological lens that foregrounds the lived experiences and voices of Apostolic members. The study identifies chinamato (a way of life centred on Apostolic ritual prayers) and zambuko (Apostolic ritual deliverance) as central healing practices that are located within African Initiated Churches’ healing epistemologies. An examination of these central healing practices cha…
Prayers for women’s livelihoods in Zimbabwe during the Covid-19 lockdown era
This study is centred on African Initiated Churches (AICs) and women’s livelihoods during the COVID-19 era in Zimbabwe.

Largely…

In history, the Church in Zimbabwe has played a role in improving the lives of the m…
