Summary: More than 40 years, Zimbabwe United Methodists lined up along the road to Old Mutare Mission to greet Muzorewa and to receive him as the first elected indigenous bishop.?One of the determining factors that led the United Methodist Church to select Zimbabwe as a site for Africa University was Bishop Muzorewa's leadership and the gift of land he proffered for the establishment of a new university for Africa,? said James Salley, Africa University?s vice chancellor for development. In 24 years of Muzorewa?s leadership, church institutions like hospitals, schools and farms established by American missionaries continued to grow. In 1978, Bishop Muzorewa was elected the first black prime minister of Zimbabwe, serving as a symbol of self-sacrifice, love and genuine compassion that touched many disadvantaged Zimbabweans. Nyarota offers aus a nuanced portrait of a clergyman steeped in a rich prophetic tradition, who skillfully applies that tradition to ao movement for post-colonial liberation.
