Terrence Mawawa, Bikita| The Zion Apostolic Church(ZAC), Arch-bishop, Felix Peresu Masuka’s car was pelted with stones by a group of youths sent by his younger brother following fierce clashes over congregants.
Masuka was ambushed by his younger, Jacob Masuka and a group of youths while driving home from Chikuku Business Centre, after conducting a church service, church sources told ZimEye.com.
Jacob is accusing his elder brother of snatching his followers.
Jacob and a group of youths blocked Masuka with the former’s wife lying in the middle of the road. “When the archbishop stopped his vehicle, a group of youths planted in the nearby bushes began to pelt the car with stones. The windscreen was badly damaged in the process. The archbishop and his team managed to flee from the scene. The archibishop later mobilised youths who assaulted Jacob at his homestead. Jacob has since vanished and we do not know where he is up to now,” said a church congregant who declined to be named.
However the elder Masuka has vehemently denied the issue.
“As far as I am concerned everything is well in my church so I do not know what you are talking about. I am actually on my way to South Africa ,” he said.
On the contrary, Enos Muroorwa Masuka, a relative of the two brothers told ZimEye: “We are making efforts to unite the two. We even went to Chief Budzi seeking guidance in the same matter.”
