Supreme Court to decide on Anglican row this month
Daniel Nemukuyu Senior Court Reporter
THE five-year wrangle over property owned by the Anglican Diocese of Harare is set to end on October 22 with the Supreme Court deciding on all the seven outstanding appeals.
The appeals were grouped following a directive by Chief Justice Godfrey Chidyausiku last year in a bid to finalise the dispute.
The cases will be heard one after the other on the same day, but the parties are yet to agree on the order to be followed.
In 2007, the Diocese of Harare under Bishop Nolbert Kunonga withdrew from the Church of the Province of Central Africa and founded a new independent Angican Province of Zimbabwe with Bishop Kunonga
elected as Archbishop.
The new dioceses in the new province claimed the ownership of the property owned by the original Harare diocese.
The Church of the Province of Central Africa continued to function in the area of the old Harare diocese and elected Bishop Chad Gandiya as the Bishop of Harare within the older province.
The core of the dispute is whether a synod of the Harare diocese could retain the property when it switched provinces without the consent of the former province.
The High Court dealt with numerous applications and judgments were made, resulting in both parties appealing to the highest court.
The Supreme Court is now expected to determine the following cases on October 22:
- Bishop Elson Madoda Jakazi and another versus The Anglican Church of the Province of Central Africa and two others (SC118/10).
- Anglican Church of the Province of Central Africa versus Diocesan Trustees of Harare (SC180/09).
