The Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) Nkhoma Synod has established a formal investigation into the actions of its several pastors who allegedly conducted a religious service at the former president Peter Mutharika’s residence in Mangochi on Tuesday without synod’s approval.
In a brief letter seen by this publication,the Synod Secretary Reverend Vasco Kachipapa says approximately 53 pastors were in attendance.
He says those identified by the synod include retired Reverend Wyson Chiwaula, Reverend Jacob Kadzakumanja, Reverend Sydney Phula Banda, Reverend Chifuniro Damalankhunda, Reverend Staffold Makuta, Reverend Sitiyoni Mtama,as well as Reverend DC Kawanga, who was dismissed from his post in 2020

Kachipapa has however,emphasized that the synod is taking this matter seriously and that any pastors found to have violated church regulations will face disciplinary action.
