THE Anglican Church of the Province of Central Africa (CPCA) has said it is working on modalities to evict two priests aligned to defrocked Bishop Nolbert Kunonga from its properties in Mhondoro and Mutoko.

Kunonga was excommunicated by the CPCA in 2008 after which he forcibly took over control of the church’s properties.

This resulted in CPCA parishioners worshipping in the open.

During his self-imposed reign, Kunonga would openly declare his allegiance to President Robert Mugabe and Zanu PF.
