The Church in Zimbabwe said it is prepared to mediate between government and opposition leaders after six people were killed in violence that followed a disputed presidential election.
"We have offered to mediate any election disputes as well as broader concerns," Fr Frederick Chiromba, Secretary-General of the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops' Conference, told Catholic News Service on Monday in a telephone interview from Harare.
With their parish and other structures, Zimbabwe's churches would be well positioned to lead the activities of the national peace and reconciliation process that began early this year, he said.
