Farai Dziva|The Apostolic Faith Mission has described the High Court ruling as a huge relief to the church.

See the full AFM statement below :

We are excited today to announce to all AFM in Zimbabwe members, to the body of Christ in Zimbabwe and abroad, to all our friends and stakeholders that the long-awaited court judgement has finally been pronounced today this morning the 4th of September 2019 at 10: AM.

Our application to the high court was to seek nullification of the meeting of the 22nd of September 2018 in which Rev Cossam Chiyangwa and his team passed a vote of no confidence on the then AFM in Zimbabwe leadership and we sought the nullification of all the decisions made as a consequence of that vote of no confidence which had been passed.

Their application was to seek legitimacy as the true leadership of the AFM in ZIMBABWE and barring us from representing the church. We would like to announce that for our application judgement was granted in our favour, this means that the high court has declared us the legitimate leadership of AFM in Zimbabwe, they have lost their application with costs.

As AFM in Zimbabwe leadership, we are appealing to the AFM in Zimbabwe members, pastors, elders and deacons and young people to exercise restraint, not to be overwhelmed with excitement and act irresponsibly and in an unchristian manner, we implore you not to take the law into your hands but to allow the due process of the law.

We continue reiterate that, our hands are open for reconciliation, the doors of AFM are open to all those who want to come back to their church. We preach love and peace, we are not for war, hate or victimisation of anyone, rev Cossam Chiyangwa and his team remain our brothers in the Lord.

God bless you.
