Anti-riot police storm AFM Church - Video

Riot police have been filmed beating up Apostolic Faith Mission in Zimbabwe (AFM) Waterfalls church members Raphias Kumbana and Morris Trust.

The details of the fracas are still sketchy but in January this year church members held a peaceful protest against the suspension of the Harare East province pastor who was suspended because he divorced his wife.

AFM parishioners accused the church's Overseer Amon Chinyemba of being dictatorial in the management of the church. Chinyemba fired pastor Patson Munyengeterwa because he had divorced his abusive wife.

The church members claimed that Munyengeterwa was dismissed from his position unconstitutionally. The Waterfalls pastor was said to be a victim of domestic violence at the hands of his wife of 17 years and decided to end the union. The matter is currently before the courts.
