A TRADITIONAL leader from Mashonaland West province is pleading with authorities to intervene and immediately shut down Madzibaba Ishmael’s apostolic church, which allegedly wantonly tramples on children’s rights to education, health and accessing birth certificates.
Members of the Johanne Masowe eChishanu sect led by Ishmael Chokurongerwa, popularly known as Madzibaba Ishmael, are currently languishing in remand prison facing multiple charges ranging from child abuse to violating the birth and deaths registration laws of Zimbabwe.
Speaking to NewZimbabwe.com, headman lnzwanai Musonzwa of Mhondoro village at Nyabira, Mashonaland West province said government must step forward and enforce laws, which protect and fight for the rights of children and women.
He highlighted that Madzibaba Ishmael’s questionable church allows child marriages and abuse of minors, which are affecting many underage children in the village.
