The Council of Churches in Zambia (CCZ) has learnt with disbelief the conduct of a named church bishop who sexually abuse underage children in the name of conducting exorcism.
The church has observed that there has been an increase in the number of people claiming to be men of God using the name of God and authority they are entrusted with by members of their congregations to conduct outrageous activities such as taking advantage of innocent children and destroying their future.
The arrest of the so called bishop should be an eye opener to society to understand that we have “wolves in sheep clothing” and must make informed decisions of which houses of worship they should join.
We urge police to continue with the good work of arresting, without delay, all perpetrators of all forms of sexual violence and other vices against humanity.
The church members should also ensure that they investigate the backgrounds of their pastors before they can trust them to preach the word of God. It is the duty of parents to ensure that their children attend church services or meetings under strict supervision.
It is the duty of every citizen to ensure that we do not allow evil to take root in church and society. The church should be protected from bad elements and be allowed to remain a respected safe haven which offers solace and comfort to society which it has always done and this should remain so.

Catholic Nun Beating
Many people have labelled this beating as a case of GBV. But from the MUVI Tv clip there is nothing to suggest the Nun was battered because of her gender. In my view Mr. Sichilongo was just furious and could have beaten even a fellowman Headmaster. So what kind of GBV would you call it? It was just mere violence regardless of gender. My understanding of GBV is when a person of opposite sex is violent against another simply because they are of different gender. Let us avoid labelling everything as GBV or GBD (Gender Based Discrimination) simply because the victim is a woman. Away from the case at hand, some people sometimes deliberately provoke others of different gender knowing if they are touched they report to police and claim its GDV/GBD. We should first look at extenuating circumstances whether it was intentional that the culprit took advantage of another person’s gender before we conclude it is GBV or GBD. I am not exonerating Mr. Sichilongo for what he did, I just disagree with the notion or application of GBV.
Sorry to have commented under another totally different issue, but at least you the case at hand.
Our God will continue to expose those who us his name in vain. There are wolves in sheep skin masquerading as Pastors,Bishops,Evangelists Fathers, Sisters etc. who are busy abusing innocent children. An audit should also be done in our orphanages where I believe child abuse is rampant.
