From Zimbabwe-
The Ministry of Home Affairs has assured Anglican followers of Bishop Chad Gandiya that they will have adequate security when they conduct their commemorations of the late Bernard Mizeki at the martyr’s shrine in Marondera this weekend.
Home Affairs co-Minister Kembo Mohadi said this in an interview yesterday.
"People have freedom of worship as enshrined in the Constitution and as a ministry what we can only do is to ensure that there is no violence.
"There have been judgments passed here and there and we do not want to be on the wrong side of the law. Let there be law and order and besides, I do not think the Anglicans want to tarnish their name and image.
"If anyone tries to disturb them we will intervene. The other group was allowed and they did it peacefully, so why should we not allow the other group to do the same?"
The Church of the Province of Zimbabwe — led by Archbishop Nolbert Kunonga — held their commemorations last weekend.
The Anglican Church in Zimbabwe split in 2007 over homosexuality.
Archbishop Kunonga broke away after some figures in the church were reluctant to openly castigate homosexuality.
