Terrence Mawawa| Masvingo State Minister Josaya Dunira Hungwe, who has a knack for bootlicking, has angered Church leaders here after equating the First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa to Jesus.

Irate church leaders described Hungwe’ s utterances at an Apostolic Faith Mission Church (AFM) Women’s Conference last week as blasphemous.

Hungwe claimed Mrs Mnangagwa was a supernatural being who should be treated with great honour like what happened to Christ during the Triumphal Entry.

“Mr Hungwe missed the point, he became overzealous as he sought to impress his political bosses.

That is why some congregants threatened to shout back at him,” said one church leader.

“His remarks are totally unacceptable, I think he owes us an apology,” fumed another church leader.
