BIG SHAME! Church Shakes As Two Pastors Fight Over OFFERING; See What Later Happened
The peaceful ambiance of spiritual worship was upended in a startling and unprecedented occurrence at the Ukuphila Kwama Khristu Zion Church in Steadville, Ladysmith, when Bishop Zimele Zikhali and Pastor Zenzele Chagwe got into a violent argument in front of their audience.
The disagreement revolved around the purported mishandling of a significant amount of R7, 500 (N307, 000 in Naira) in church offerings, turning the hallowed area into a battlefield of charges and altercations.
Witnesses described a heated verbal altercation between the two well- known religious leaders that swiftly turned into a full- fledged fistfight. The congregation was left astonished and doubting the faith they had placed in these holy people when they saw its leaders involved in a public altercation. They had expected spiritual guidance and togetherness.
The dispute exposed internal conflict and damaged the Ukuphila Kwama Khristu Zion Church’ s reputation. It also raised questions about accountability and transparency in the handling of congregational contributions.
It is currently necessary for the Ukuphila Kwama Khristu Zion Church to reflect and work toward healing the divisions created by the very leaders who are responsible for the community’ s spiritual health.
