Harare (New Ziana) – Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Monica Mutsvangwa on Thursday described the late Zimbabwe Assemblies of God Africa (Zaoga) founder, Archbishop Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti, as ‘intensely patriotic.’

Guti died last Wednesday at the age of 100.

In a condolence message, Mutsvangwa said she was saddened by the passing on of the clergyman who also carried out a number of social developmental work that complemented government efforts in the education and health sectors.

“I am painfully and deeply saddened by the loss of Baba Guti. Bishop Guti was a highly spiritual being with an intense patriotic flavor. His philanthropy touched many diverse lives as they carried out the daily chores of life,” she said.

“Dr Guti’s philanthropic work and his love for Zimbabwe was unwavering as he founded Ezekiel Guti University and Mbuya Dorcas Hospital, among other similar institutions across the country. These projects complement the government’s efforts in ensuring access to tertiary education and health care by all,” she added.
