Most hotels and lodges in Harare are full after being booked by more than 3 000 international delegates and some locals for the Jehovah’s Witnesses international convention starting at the National Sports Stadium tomorrow. The international conference will attract more than 55 000 people from all over the world, including Zimbabwe.

The visiting delegates, who arrived in batches, were being treated to some “Kingdom Melodies” at the Harare International Airport before being taken to their respective hotels.

Some of the delegates came from the United States, Dubai and South Africa.
The foreign delegates yesterday joined some locals in Warren Park, Chihota and Domboshava where they preached and extended invitations to people to attend the conference.

“We had an inspiring and faith strengthening experience in the ministry as the people of Zimbabwe are very respectful and welcoming,” said one of the delegates from the United States, Mr Timothy Luff.

“It also helped me to feel as part of a global organisation and realise that our field service is just the same as we preached about God’s Kingdom and invited people to attend the convention.”

Mr Luff said Zimbabwe was not a racist country, with kind people who are humble and hospitable.
