741

The former Bishop of Harare, the Rt. Rev. Chad Gandiya has been appointed acting principal of Bishop Gaul Theological College in Harare effective 31 Dec 2019, following the resignation of the Rev. Joshua Musiyambiri following ten years of service to the school. He is credited with restoring the schools fortunes following the difficult years under Dr. Nolbert Kunonga, the former diocesan bishop and ally of strongman Robert Mugabe who sought to withdraw the diocese from the Church of the Province of Central Africa to form his own denomination. Within the Diocese of Harare, Dr Musiyambiri served as Rector at St Michael’s and All Angels Mbare and lately at St Matthias Eastview. He will take up a post at Holy Spirit Monastery in Gweru.
