The Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) Nkhoma Synod has summoned Reverend Tseka Chizinga to appear before the church trustees for a hearing scheduled for May 5, 2025.
According to a letter seen by 247 Malawi News and signed by Vasco Kachipapa, CCAP Nkhoma Synod General Secretary, Chizinga is accused of organizing a trip for some Nkhoma Synod clergies to visit former President Peter Mutharika at his Page House in Mangochi without the approval of the synod leadership.
Reverend Chizinga confirmed receiving the letter but stated that he will only attend the hearing if he can secure transportation.
The Nkhoma Synod’s General Secretary, Vasco Kachipapa, declined to comment on the matter, citing that it is an administrative issue that cannot be discussed publicly.
This development raises questions about the relationship between the CCAP Nkhoma Synod and its ministers, as well as the church’s stance on political engagements.
The hearing is set to take place on May 5, 2025, and will determine the next steps in the matter.
