Kunonga Loyalists Evict Care Givers

MORE than 100 orphans have been left vulnerable at an orphanage in Murerwa after sympathizers of ex-communicated Anglican Bishop, Nolbert Kunonga on Monday 12 September 2011 evicted the orphans’ care givers from the institution.

Kunonga’s loyalists on Monday morning evicted three Sisters, namely Sister Dorothy, the Matron, Sister Plaxedes in charge of medication and Sister Anna Chitsura overseeing the library and the orphans’ studies from Shearley Cripps Home, an orphanage housing more than 100 orphans and located at St Johns Chikwakwa in Murewa, Mashonaland East province.

The supporters of Kunonga affiliated to his Diocesan Trustees for the Diocese of Harare based their actions on a Writ of Ejectment which was obtained on 2 September 2011 after the ZANU PF sympathiser caused the Registrar of the High Court to issue it against the Anglican Church of the Province of Central Africa (CPCA) led by Bishop Chad Gandiya.

The eviction of the care givers came even though human rights lawyers from Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights had on Friday 9 September 2011 served an urgent chamber application on Kunonga’s Diocesan Trustees for the Diocese of Harare seeking to set aside the Writ of Ejectment issued by the High Court.

Meanwhile, Justice Tendai Uchena will on Wednesday 14 September 2011 preside over the Urgent Chamber Application filed by ZLHR lawyers challenging the Writ of Ejectment.
