According to a church member who asked for anonymity, the two had a long standing grudge.

a�?There is overwhelming evidence that Nyamajiwa and Sibanda have been battling for the church to clarify their positions in the church.

a�?As congregants we all know that the two have been fighting for the post from a long time ago, it is not something new. It is ironic that two men who are supposedly God fearing can be rivals in church.a�?

When contacted Sibanda confirmed the incident and begged the reporter not to write the story.

a�?It is true that there was turmoil at our church but I am interested to know who told you the story because this is a private issue. I am begging you to not write the story but if you want you can carry on but we will see what to do,a�? said Sibanda.

However, Nyamajiwa denied the allegations saying that nothing happened at his church.

a�?Those are pure lies. We are a very organised church and we cannot do such a thing. Obviously the person who told you is jealous of our church,a�? said Nyamajiwa.

A congregant only identified as Muchanya also confirmed the story.

a�?The church was at my house on Sunday and we are so embarrassed about the character our pastors displayed in front of the whole world. We dona��t even know if this thing was planned or what because they both had weapons in their cars, a very rare situation for pastors,a�? said Muchanya.
