Reverend Amon Madawo who has just been confirmed by the Supreme Court as the legitimate AFM in Zimbabwe president has started an audit of all church properties, The Mirror has learned.
Madawo told The Mirror in an exclusive interview that pastors aligned to Cossam Chiangwa’s faction looted church property during the church wrangle and this is being assessed and a statement will be issued once the process is completed.
He added that his administration is also in the process of repossessing any church properties that might still be in the hands of the rival faction and documenting them.
Madawo however, said that the process of implementing the High Court judgment is going on smoothly except for a few places where there are pockets of resistance. He encouraged members to come back to church.
“We are in the process of implementing the Supreme Court judgement issued on Friday. We are taking back our assets, repossessing our property and after documentation we will decide on the next move.
“Many pastors who left the Church looted property and we will sit down and see how we can recover it,” said Madawo.
During the wrangle, Chiangwa opposed the presidency of Madao and led a faction pastors and church members who declared themselves as the legitimate AFM.
Chiangwa lost his claim in the High Court after a ruling by Justice David Mangota on September 22, 2020 and he appealed to the Supreme Court thereby prolonging the wrangle.
Three Supreme Court Judges Susan Mavangira, Lavender Makoni and Samuel Kudya upheld the High Court judgement.
During the wrangle, the church had two sets of church services with one faction holding service in the morning and the other thereafter. In worst case scenarios the factions held services concurrently with one faction gathered at the front of the church while the other would be gathered at the back.
Pastor Donard Ndoni who is aligned to Chiangwa said he had no comment to make when the Mirror called him.
“Some are still resisting the new order but we are calling upon worshipers to attend church without fear because the law has spoken. In Rusape there is a Pastor Mukaro who is very adamant and is demanding an eviction order for him to move off from the church and he seems to be getting an ear from the law enforcement agencies,” said Madawo.
After looking For Lost Property
You must also Look for Lost Souls

This is time to berry their differeces and unite chch members as they the ones at receiving end spiritually. There is nothing to be happy about when innocent pple have been splitted due selfishness of these chch leaders. Kuita kunge zvematongerwo enyika. Ndine hurombo.

Are we worshiping the same master wonder why some people are not repenting . Is it about helping lost souls or money game am a bit confused recently there was a Mazha battle pliz help me God
Sheunesu Mudungwe mudhara most these churches hapana nyaya ye soul winning musabhaizwe, its about taking control of mari yechegumi bedzi….ndaizvitaura ndichiri kungozvitaura,,all these fights are not for God’s purpose,,no no ,zvimwe zvacho zvitori evident
My church put God first
It’s so pathetic .Why are you grieving he Holy spirit 😭😭😭
1)Confirmed by supreme court not by God ??????
2) And how can a church of living God is involved in faction is it politics
3) How can a man of God is concerned about physical properties not the souls of people, the bible says store your treasure in heaven.
Those who meditate on word of God day and night will understand this
Amen
Gift Semba he is after worldly possessions
They was a misunderstanding that ended up in Court .Does Afm have assets , yes they do .Is it the duty of the church leadership to account for them , yes it is they responsibility .
Marc Giggs so if u fail to settle urself and wait for the world to settle u , u are no different from the world ,we are the salt of the earth , bt wen it looses it’s saltness lyk this must be put in the streets and man trod upon it
Loveridge Mananga , The church does not operate above the government
Madawo imbavha ndozvatoziva
Marc Giggs who says so ,CZ if the church manages to settle it’s fightings within the we new the world or governments will know there is Jesus , and we then live as if we are in heaven ,
Marc Giggs read James 4vs1-3
Gift Semba ndokuti nyika iwone,,The suits pastors are just there to live thriving on poor people’s monies ,,Chegumi fullstop …
Zvidhakwa zvaka batana😅😅🍻
Madzivire is the culprit akaresva zvinhu zvese nekukara mari
Misheck Nakirwai Chiware you are very correct my brother. Ndiye honzeri ye mhere-mhere yese iyoyi. He has managed to destroy this beautiful church singlehandedly.
Loveridge T Maenzanise don’t blame him alone , even the current president aratidza is not born of spirit , was supposed to let it gone cz Jesu vakati anoda kuva mukuru ngaave semwana , And above all he is fighting for is vanity upon vanity bt seeking His kingdom was the Best for he shall be rewarded
Loveridge Mananga taura hako sazita! Naiyewo ane hundyire.
Loveridge T MaenzaniseLoveridge T MaenzaniseLoveridge T Maenzanise sure Hama
Politics not church
Why not start afresh Man of God. All things belong to God, he will take audit. Be warned!!!
