FRANCISTOWN: Church decorum allegedly decayed in a matter of seconds as members of the Zion Christian Church (ZCC) belonging to two of the factions nearly engaged in a fist fight.

The ‘abominable’ incident happened on Saturday morning at the church’s Aerodrome branch and was caused by the decision of the church leadership to merge branches in Botswana. According to media reports, the decision to merge the church branches was reached in March at Palapye.

A letter from Moria dated April 7, 2017, confirms that the decision was reached in Palapye on March 11, 2017. It read that the church accepted the suggestion by pastors and the Zion Christian Church Consensus Building and Mediation Team  (CBMT) to merge the ZCC branches in Botswana, according to media reports.  When Mmegi arrived at the scene on Saturday, minutes after the argument had dissipated, members of the two feuding factions could be seen standing outside the church premises that were locked.
