The Harare Zimbabwe Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is now open for public tours, offering an opportunity to experience this sacred space.
The open house will be held from Thursday, January 22, through Saturday, February 7, 2026, excluding Sundays, from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. each day.
Many government, interfaith, and civic leaders toured the temple during an open house for invited guests, who showed significant interest and appreciation for the first temple in Zimbabwe.
On one of those tours, Elder Erich W. Kopischke, General Authority Seventy, and Elder Vaiangina Sikahema, Second Counselor in the Africa South Area Presidency, hosted the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, H. E. Emmerson Mnangagwa, and Vice President Hon. K.C.D Mohadi.
Elder Sikahema presented President Mnangagwa with a Christus statue and a portrait of the temple. During his visit, President Mnangagwa expressed a strong impression to connect with God and a desire to return to the temple.
Following his visit, Hon. Mohadi spoke about the importance of churches and governments working together for the good of society, and how churches are an essential part of the fabric of society.
“I felt closer to the Almighty, closer to the Creator, and it is a wonderful place to be,” said Mohadi.
