Anglicans arrested

Comment & Analysis
FOUR Anglican priests and 11 church wardens were arrested on Wednesday for trying to prevent people allied with a supporter of President Robert Mugabe from taking over the home of the rector of St Mary’s Church in Harare.

The 15 were released on Thursday.

The Mugabe supporter, Nolbert Kunonga, an excommunicated bishop, is seeking control of thousands of church properties across four countries.

“We are angry about not being protected by the police,” the new bishop of the Harare diocese, Chad Gandiya, said on Friday. —  AGENCIES
