A dossier presented to President Robert Mugabe says the Anglican Church in Zimbabwe has been under attack from an excommunicated bishop, Dr. Nolbert Kunonga, since 2007.

It says that Dr Kunonga and Elson Jakazi with the support of some police have seized property belonging to the Church of the Province of Central Africa, to which the Anglican dioceses in Zimbabwe belong.

It adds: "They have used violence and intimidation to break up church services, and deny people their basic right to worship. In addition the dioceses have lost huge sums of money through legal bills, rentals for offices and other diocesan activities as well as for church services. The quality of service delivery by diocesan institutions like schools and hospitals has been seriously affected through illegal seizure of assets.
