Supreme Court settles AFM church dispute

THE Supreme Court yesterday brought to closure the long-standing battle for control of the Apostolic Faith Mission in Zimbabwe (AFM) after it upheld a 2019 High Court ruling that gave Amon Madawo full control of the denomination, its assets and symbols.

Madawo and Cossam Chiangwa had been embroiled in a legal fight over control of the church since 2018.

According to the Supreme Court ruling delivered yesterday, Chiangwa and his faction were now obliged to return the church properties they had seized from Madawo’s camp.
