Mugodhi church wrangle: High Court drops bombshell

HIGH Court judge Justice Siyabona Musithu has dropped a bombshell after ruling that Washington Mugodhi is not the leader of Mugodhi Apostolic Faith Church (MAFC), ending a leadership wrangle that has resulted in factionalism.

The court, however, reinstated Aaron Munodawafa as the substantive bishop of one of Zimbabwe’s biggest apostolic sects.

The Munodawafa faction had accused Mugodhi of disregarding the church constitution, which stated that in the event of the death of a bishop, his or her deputy assumes the leadership role.
