By Nyasha Sengayi| We want to understand why the church is silent on the Walter Magaya rape allegations. Why haven’t they attempted to at least add their voice or investigate what is happening in that church.

Zimbabwe Council of churches ,where are you ? Evangelical Fellowship in Zimbabwe so this is it. .several allegations are raised concerning a church and we don’t hear from your organs?

Even other churches are not willing to castigate such practice publicly: unless of course they understand that , you can’t bring down someone’s hustle.

The silence of the church is very loud on this issue. For years we organised work around getting mapostori to end child marriages. Action which we eventually made milestones from. We are not yet there but child marriages are declining in the apostolic sect movement through work done by the UDACIZA – a group of apostolic churches. They were so intentional about correcting their mistake ..

I am therefore appalled by the way the Pentecostal movement in this country has deliberately avoided the regulatory route on a lot of things happening in their church including the issue of money laundering.

The sex scandals of the Pentecostal church leaves a lot to be desired. The body representing them must at least investigate such misconduct whether they have been spewed in rumor form or not.

We need these organs to fish out where the smoke on Magaya is coming from. An added responsibility to them would be for them to at least speak out against rife abuse in the church. Paul Kagame was right on state control of the church.. .

Whilst we are still searching for statistical evidence of women who have been abused in the church – (which was supposed to be their job) – we need action from these bodies. If anything this is what they should exist for.
