Assemblies of God leadership wrangle rages

THE leadership wrangle between warring factions in the Assemblies of God (AOG) church has spilled into the courts, leaving congregants divided.

The fights broke out after AOG Spiritual Movement leader Francis Nyika died and was succeeded by his youthful aide
Phillip Zinyama, igniting a backlash from the old guard which is attempting to seize the church’s assets.

There was drama at Marondera Civil Court this week after AOG members led by Nathan Setlhako attacked a representative of AOG Spiritual Movement after court proceedings as tempers flared between the two factions.
