Eighteen people were reportedly injured during a stampede at a congregation convened by United Family Interdenominational church in Harare at the weekend.
Congregants who attended the Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa-led Sunday service at the City Sports Centre told RadioVOP that 18 worshippers were injured as they rushed to attend the church service which was presided over by Prophet Makandiwa.
Parishioners said the injured worshippers were taken to hospital by ambulances for treatment and Prophet Makandiwa later addressed the congregation on Sunday afternoon.
Prophet Makandiwa had been out of the country for almost a month where he was reportedly meeting his spiritual father in the United Kingdom.
Makandiwa draws huge crowds at his church services and about 35 000 congregants attend each session of the weekly prayer services.
