LL congregation set to quit Livingstonia CCAP Synod over Chimwemwe Mhango’s dismissal

Hundred of members of the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) Synod of Livingstonia at Kanengo congregation in Lilongwe have threatened to quit the church in protest of the dismissal of Reverend Chimwemwe Mhango.

Rev Chimweme Mhango: I did not sin
Rev Chimweme Mhango: I did not sin

The synod has dismissed Mhango citing rebellious acts after he and the congregation protested his transfer from Kanengo to Euthini in Mzimba.

Mhango is reportedly mobilising the congregation to form a membership of a breakaway church.

Kanengo congregation’s deacon’s court clerk, Rose Ng’oma, said the congregation is ready to dump Livingstonia Synod and operate under another name.

“We already warned them that should anything happen to him, we will leave the church,” Ng’oma said.

Mhango argues that the transfer was not done in good faith, arguing that, for one to be removed they must have committed an offence, been promoted or going for studies.

The congregation held vigil at the synod offices in Mzuzu and obtained an injunction to stop Mhango’s transfer. However, the synod went ahead to dismiss the reverend with the injunction in force.

Meanwhile, Synod moderator Douglas Chipofya has said “Kanengo members are at liberty to express their views, but Mhango ceases to be a reverend.”

Mhango was ordained on April 24, 1994 and has served as a minister for various congregations up to date. He is also a renowned gospel musician and Musicians Union of Malawi (MUM) president.

On his next move, Mhango said he will seek God’s guidance through prayers first before making any decision on the matter.

“What I know is that I have not sinned and I have not wronged anybody; I’ll pray to God for his guidance,” he said.

  2. Mr kenkkk I think you tumbukaz you have grutoney for money not spread the gospel. If you go to the north you will find that most communities have no churches but you want to develop it in central and south. You just show how foolish you are and regionalistic/tribalist. Church yanji yodzadza ndi mtundu umodzi wa anthu. Shame on you.

    1. Yohane, I don’t think you are following my story on this. All you know is fowl language. If you are a real christian then you will know that God said go and spread his word throughout and everywhere on earth. He didn’t put any state or political boundaries in spreading his Word. If these so called synods put political boundaries on how they should spread the word of God, then they are against God’s instructions. What matters is that the Word of God is spread everywhere, it doesn’t matter who spreads it.

      You are the one adhering to tribalistic behaviour by thinking that God’s Word in the north should be spread by northerners, in the centre by the centre and in the south by the south people. A completely 100% ignorant person going against what the bible says. The Word of God has no boundaries and northeners have shown you that and you follow suit, go anywhere in the country and spread the Good News, my brother Yohanne.

  3. Mwaona nokha mmene amaganizira Chimwemwe akuti ” I have not sinned” Kukana ma orders, akuti apite ku Euthini, I have not sinned, kukana amakana ndi amene wa uzidwayo, apa okana ndi Cimwmwemwe and kukanako ndikumene anauza anthu ena onse amene sanawerenge nawo kalata ya transfer, anthuwo ataonetsa mtima osakhutitsidwa ndi kuchoka kwa Chimwemmwe akapempha mkhumano wa anthu okha okha kukambirana za kuchoka kwa Chimwemwe koma Chimwemwe podziwa za malamulo a ma transfer akanauza aanthu kuti Mulungu akutndituma ku Euthini osati GS ayi pakuti munagwirizana kale za ma transfer pokha pokha ngati mumangopanga zimenezi.

  4. Chimwmwe Mhango, is an evil in the church, you think he is as clean as you see him and or as you hear him say I will Pray before……….bilm mbu dadada!!!!!. Ask those who have worked closely with him in some circles. He is an architecturer of violence, a silent one. If the church want him in Enukwenu, On your bike!!!!!, who is going to be the MUM president and COSOMA Board chair in the central, Don’t mention Gods name in vain. When you want to ordain Church Pastors, Bishops and priests….Pray that God gives you people with sole interests….not multi-interested individuals like…him….shame!!!!!

  5. Atumbuka tiyeni tichepetse kudzikonda ndi makani opanda pake. We will always remain like this when our friends are maneuvering. Do we expect us to be on leadership positions if our behavior remain like this??? I doubt.

  6. Anthu Anachoka Kuma State House Osafuna, Ths Is How Life Goes. Were You Promised To Work At Kanengo For Life? Members Worship Ur God Not Mhango, Akamwalira Mawa Muzatani? Is He The Only Man To Preach The Gospel? Where Is Ur Faith? Amakunamizani Chani Iyeyi. “if I Know My God, Am Not Flustrated Of My Life”

  7. Even the churches; practice appeasement policies. Today I heard that he was preaching in his cogrtn; the synod is afraid of losing rich TUMBUKAS to Mhango

  8. The intention of taking this church to central is evil. Devil. Church of pple of the same region only

  9. Mwiza, as I understand it the origins of our synods stem from the fact that they are not strictly speaking the same churches. Their commonality is the fact that all are Presbyterian. The similarity is like seventh day Adventists and Baptists.

    The livingstonia synod to give it its true name is the Free Church of Scotland whilst as I understand the Blantyre one is Church of Scotland whilst the Lilongwe one seems closer to the bt but it has Dutch origins. Free church is more strict than church of. For example the Free church expels any member drinking alcohol or brewing alcohol, you can imagine how many people would be caught by this!! Such as women brewing kachasu or masses for sale etc. Remember kamuzu was castigated by the Free Church of Scotland, they actually expelled him as an elder for not marrying you know who as the Free church didn’t approve the relationship.

    In Scotland the two churches don’t even mix, they have separate congregations and church buildings just like in Adventists and baptists seventh day churches.

    So the Scots who founded livingstonia belong to the Free Church of Scotland while those that found bt belonged to the Church of Scotland. But both are Presbyterian churches.

    So strictly speaking these Presbyterian churches can establish themselves any where in malawi because they are different churches. There is no need to follow political regional boundaries as it is currently misconceived and practised. I was very confused when I first went to Scotland when I said I was Presbyterian and wanted to go to church. They asked me if I belonged to Free or Church of. I asked them does it mater? They said yes because they Are two different churches. So I went to the Free because I remembered at home we sometimes called our ccap Fili chalichi.

    That is my understanding of the ccap synods in malawi but some people could have more details as to how they came to be.

  10. zayambika kudzikonda mtundu wanga osachita manyazi kuti nkhoma sikumanga ku mzuzu . God is exposing you. shame on you

  11. This problem was foreseen long time before this particular church was erected. Nzeru zina zimakhala zowononga, by the bye; how can an institution in Zorozoro be running on water from Blantyre Water Board.

    This church should basically belong to Nkhoma Synod, tisamasokoneze dala zinthu zokhuzana ndi uzimu kuti tingatukwanitse dzina laMulungu from Atheists. Mapeto amkanganowu timva payambika katchalichi kena.

    Proud to be a practising Catholic. Hahahahaha.

  12. Coz ya zonxez nd a gs(revland nyondo)..amangofna mabuxa a twn mun akhale a2 akuchitipa..mxiew!

  13. Mavto onxewa coz yak ndi a revland nyondo(general secrtry)..angofna a2 akuchtpa azkhal mabuxa twn muno,mxiew!

  14. The issue of territories is a problem itself. If CCAP is one, why should there be territories and shamefully for. CCAP this follows political regions ? These should have integrated into one otherwise the way the CCAP church is structured in Malawi is an admission that these are different.

  15. Apa church chingo joina PCM basi. Presbyterian Church of Malawi a break away of BT synod. Take the church and manse. Tione ngati a Livingstonia angapezenso anthu ochuluka kumeneku. Akufuna ayikepo wao adzichita za ndale. Ndatha ine wanu Mapwiya Murupare- chairman wa Afirika

  16. REV CHIMWEMWE MHANGO IS NOT AS HONEST AS PEOPLE BELIEVE HE IS. THOSE WHO CLAIM. HE SHOULD SEARCH HIS HEART BECUASE IT IS ONLY GOD WHO SEES INSIDE. YOU CAN SAY ALL WHAT YOU CAN SAY, BUT GOD IS NOT MAN THAT HE CAN BE FOOLED. EVERYWHERE PASTORS COME AND PASTORS GO.

  17. Yes, Brother against Brother. The word of God will surely not pass away. If it can’t happen in today’s church, well the Bible will not stand the test of time

  18. This is a disgranted church shame to the leadership they forced into Nkhoma synod territory and now there is fire within the synod cos of hatred and church politics just aiming to bring someone down, with fake transfers for their agendas. Am a member of synod of livingstonia in Mzuzu but its a shame instead of preaching the word of God the leadership is busy planning evil dyela basi want to put their relatives in position. You transfered Agness Nyondo to Lilongwe for your benefit from zolozolo and you also transfered Rev Chimembe to Rumphi from Zolozolo the time the church needed his good sermons. We know all the transfers that have been done not in good faith including that of Rev C Mhango. Am thinking otherwise on my membership. Kkkk Nkhoma synod yongoziwilatu kuti livingstonia ndiyogalukira and unorganised. Make friendship with Jesus & learn to love one another. As for me Jesus is my best friend

  19. Atumbuka!Atumbuka! kwenikweni mmafuna chiyani? you are just proving that you are educated salvages.

  20. This page z unauthentic. u r filing reports without hearing the other side of th story. Mhango z nt mobilising any congregation to protests. th congregation z mobilisng itself in retaliation to th code of conduct displayed by these leaders of th synod.
    Th church on th 24th April held a press conference xplaining th circumstances amid th controvesies and am surprised ths z nt part of th story u r publishing, wat kind of journalism z this? Beware that you shall giv an account of all these falacies u r spreading.

  21. This confusion is one of many punishments from almighty God for building churches in Nkhoma synod territory, as a matter of fact that idea was bad, you should have ramained in the north, God is not happy with your church. So back off from Nkhoma synod’s territory or expect more punishments from God

  22. Please school me! How did Livingtonia find itself in Lilongwe? Can we say for example Lilongwe Diocese in Blantyre? Or Lusaka in Chipata? Or Eastern Region Police in Southern Region? Please school me! How did that happen?

    1. You should also ask yourself how Calvary, Livingwaters, assemblies of God, seventh day Adventist, Bible believer, mboni etc found themselves in Lilongwe. The answer is the same.

  23. KANENGO CCAP? Mpingo utha ngati makatani uwu. Munayamba udyo muthanso udyo. Mungolowa mu Nkhoma Synod. Mwabela a Chewa mokwanira.

  24. That’s the price you pay when emotions allow ultimately allowed to drive God’s work. Shame! Why don’t you, the two parties – Chimwemwe & vocal synod – sit down and discuss your differences? What picture now have you portrayed to our rare children who aspire to become one of you? How will you now criticise any national stakeholder when your own house now is beautified with dust? Please, repent first before taking any step.

  25. Dont be misled you people. Reverend Mhango knows the standing orders of Livingstonia Synod very well and he’s just playing unnecessary tricks out of gluttony here. The ultimate power to transfer a Reverend or not in Livingstonia Synod rests in the Secretary General of the Synod, who currents is Rev. Nyondo. You may like him or not but he has the constitutional powers. It was because of such selfish individuals that rules were written in that way. By refusing to transfer the reverend is
    1. Disobedidient to authority, which is contrary to our Christian calling;
    2. Dishonest by deliberately feigning ignorance of the constititution
    3. A glatton by sticking to a place where he things he’ll benefit more materially
    4. Morally corrupt by not setting a good example to his congregation

    The most honourable thing the Reverend can do is to step aside from being a pastor of CCAP and be forgotten.

  26. AFORD vs Man of God. One thing I know and believe is that Yesu salephera, there is no way AFORD can win this controversy.

  27. Abale tili ndi mwayi kuti Nyasatimes imalola Chichewa.Anthu ena ndemanga zathu palibwino kulemba mChichewa. It becomes very painful to read the comments with a lot of grammatical errors. Chonde! Chonde! You know, reading is addictive. We are painfully forced to go through comments that need reconstruction in order to make sense and that needs a lot of energy.

  28. When is The Livingstonia Synod coming to Blantyre? Please people of God it is high time we stop such acts. Jesus Christ is one and therefore The Church should be one. Recognising administrative boundaries should not be something that should put christians ussunder. A christian coming from the North should not be a stranger in the South. He/she can still assist in the development of the church wherever he/she goes. Do not focus on money.

  29. Churches whew ! To some are calling it JESUS INDUSTRY where they are benefiting. I know Church leaders at the helm of the churches are arrogant and unforgiving. For Livingstonia leaders think are too near the Lord than anyone else. Tribastic minded creatures. Imagine encroaching into Dutch Reformed territory without any remorse. Threw their pastor into hotspot area and removing him unceremoniously after the tide is low. Mr Reverend don’t go. They are not God themselves stay put. Call it All PROVINCES SALVATION CHURCH.

  30. Troubled synod, That’s what happens when you work in the light of money seek the name of the Lord. u expanded into Nkhoma territory focussing on northerners Christians in All who can contribute to Livingstonia. Rev Muhango wazimva bwino and expect more trouble.

    1. indeed, focussing on northern Christians not on Peter Muhalika’s stolen money like Nkhoma Sy ynod does

  31. Rev Mhango is loved wherever he goes. When transfers come congregations protest. I remember when he was moved from Chiwavi to Katawa these were similar issues. He is a good preacher and he connects with the flock. From Katawa when he was aked to go to Embangweni ppo protested too but he went. All this was done by the synod to punish him because wherever he goes he is loved and the churches grow. He was moved from Embangweni to Ekwendeni again amid controversial circumstances. From Ekwendeni that is when he was moved to livingtonia LL because the synod thought this would fail and wanted him to face harshness of Nkhoma synod alone. But shame to the devil the church grew amid controversy. Now since he has done allbtge work for them they want to remove him and put their own there to be politicking and swindle. Those of you saying Mhango loves mtauni youbdont know him. He has served and raised churches in the remotest parts of Livingstonia. But these crooks at the top of leadership are always envious of this young and appealing pastor.

  32. Mulungu amalanga chomcho.Khalidwe lakwanu mwakaonetsela kwa eni.Chimkulilano.Koma zoona zake ayenera kumvela olamulira ngati ali akhristudi.MWINA MKULU UJA WA FEDRALISIM UJA WALOWELELA.

  33. Can you transfer someone from capital city to Euthini? Mmmmh this is pure punishment i dont think God caneven speak to Livingstonia top leaders they are full in politics disguising as pastors. Always Livingstonia has been like this.

    Leave rev. Chimwemwe alone at least we benefit from him in terms of music but the rest of you useless.

  34. Livingstonia synod has its own weaknesseses koma na apa pokha the synod is not wrong Rev chimwemwe is a devil under disguise some of us have been close to him if u dont know him just shut up, some of us know him better he likes things going his own way. he was in forefront backbiting and tanishing other reverends images kumatumiza makalata ku headquarters kuti awatchotse in LL now the tables have turned, he is a wicked man

  35. The God of order allows disorder in order to bring the disordered pipo to shame. Rev Chimwemwe not all who follow u wil b with u all the way, sum want 2 find a way of leaving the church and those destined 2 b with u wil b with u. My advise is take tym in God’s presence and hear Him right just as u heard Him when u answered His calling 2 serve Him in the CCAP. U r called by God and not man. It is well with thee Man of God. I will meet u at the centre of the will of God.

  36. PANYAKE BADADA MHANGO BAKHUMIKA XNOPHOBIC MOVE FROM KANENGO.LUTANI UKO KU AUTHINI BADADA MWACHITA ULI.TOWN MULINOWA CHOMENE NADI.

  37. this mpingo now should just be under Nkhoma synod .these are end times when abusa kuwukirana.musataye nthawi kuwukirana coz anytime the world will end.central region is for Nkhoma synod and this is just the begining of revolution in Livingstonia churches which are in central region

  38. This is not the first time Rev Chimwemwe to organize the congregation he is heading to break away from the mainstream CCAP. He did this first at Katawa and again at Chiwavi. Ndiwanchoncho just let him go. History will judge him whether he is right or wrong

  39. All of u talking against Chimwemwe have no clue of what is happening. Better to disobey ppo with devilish mind and do the wil of God. What I know is that the pastor has always been haunted by the executive. But God’s blessings can never b snatched. Am not a ccap but I salute the members of kanengo 4 the love u hv shown yo pastor. Levi Nyondo is too political.

  40. Let him go Euthini chasuzga apa baliska mukukhumba mtown, kanengo or ingafuma Livingstonia imalengepo cha, mwabanthu mwazgoka babelebeza kwali, if Mhango wakuti ni witch hunting, walute waka vikamba nikale, bamutumenge kumangalande mphanyi wachita kuchimbililako ise tapadela no kumanya, kweni pakuti nkhumizi bwe apa mphakumwa apa mphakugeza, kkkkkk, kweni nako kukukhala banthu ku Uthini, kathandazgeni zivangeli Mhango Chiuta wamutchaileninge nkhondo mwanuwelaso, mukopachi, mu khristu wenecho wakuba na bofi yai, mpaka bachite kudikizga nga nima kwelekwele ku Jon, najumpha ine.

  41. Ninive wa lero ndi Euthini. 3days m’mimba mwa nsomba, bwinotu apa sitikudziwa kuti nsomba ya lero ikhala chani

  42. A Mhango sitikana transfer a chitambino kukuyimikana timapita komwe mlungu akutuma zakumwamba izi

  43. Nase tikunkhumba ,uliska ni ndale yayi. Ni tchemo wize kuno waka ku euthini presbytery. Vitumbiko vikwiza mwantheura . Nane ndine deacon . Wa she the life pastor of kanengo? Waliska wofuma ku john nakankhala kumuzi kwakuti no magesi. ACCAUNT OF REV MAMBO,REV MAPALA ,REV NYIRONGO EVEN REV NYONDO WAKAYAMBIRA KU EUTHINI KWENDA KWENDA PA NJINGA PASONO WALI NKHU?????ZANI WAKA KUNO ABUSA NASE TIKUNKHUMBA VITUMBIKO VINU .TIKUPOKERELANI TAWATEWETI TOSE MMALO MWAWANYANE .KAMBANGA CONGRAGETION AMEN

  44. Why is Livingstonia Synod acting in a dictatorial fashion, like it’s a one party system? Modern congregations should be more democratic than this; the Synod should have consulted with Kanengo, in the first place. Looks like Livingstonia is out to assert its dominance, even on a pastor!

  45. Ife atumbuka kupusa tiyeni tizikatukula kwathu konyasa kuja tikukanganilana kwayeni tidzaliratu

  46. A very proud pastor who can’t hid to the rulling of his elders is good for nothing. A liberious pastor is likely to mislead many.

  47. Mwaonatu atumbuka(synod ya Livingstonia) kuchoka kwawo kumpoto kudzalimbana pakati pano ndi Nkhoma.Tinkaona ngati vuto linali synod ya Nkhoma nanga pano mukulimbana nokhanokha? Nyamukani kalimbiraneni ku MZUZU

  48. Mwaonatu atumbuka(synod ya Livingstonia) kuchoka kwawo kumpoto kudzalimbana pakati pano ndi Nkhoma.Tinkaona ngati vuto linali synod ya Nkhoma nanga pano mukulimbana nokhanokha? Nwamukani kalimbiraneni ku MZUZU

  49. Any party or grouping led by people from this region cannot survive. Mumakulirana mitima. Even federalism mukufunayo will bring more problems to yourself

  50. Rev Mhango is surrounded with a lot of controversy. This is a truth. Remember his transfer from Katawa, problems that happened in Ekwendeni, then problems in Embangweni and now trouble in Kanengo.
    Something is not very right. The rev. is a talented musician indeed. This has made him special and better than the rest of the reverends. This explains the scramble for him. Each and every congregation where he serves, the congregats do not wan to let him go. But is his the way things should be? I hope ad pastors they are supposed to minister to all even hose in poor areas. Each party should learn to let go.
    The other hing is the economy hub surrounding the Kanengo Church. There is a lot of wealth in that church. Many generous CCAP Christians pray at this church. The pastors do not lack anything at all. Leaving such comfort is not easy at all.

  51. Tiyeni atumbuka tisamasusukire ndalama, we’re in loggerheads Nkhoma synod but Nkhoma swallowed its pride and now its internal conflict. why mtumbuka!!!!

  52. HERE I AM LORD, SEND ME WHERE EVER YOU WANT ME TO GO, EVEN KOPANDA NETWORK, TEACH ME NOT TO BE MONEY LOVING, IN THE NAME OF CHRIST I PRAY, AMEN

  53. Zipembezo.kkkk. My religion tells me that no one should judge the other. If someone is able to lead followers, why do you suddenly remove him? Jealous? Shame!

  54. Inu Abusa pepani mungopita ku Euthini. Ngati inu simunalakwe, dzichepetseni ndipo blessings will follow you ku Euthini konko ndipo satani adzachita manyazi.

  55. Rev Nyondo the general secretary,you have gone mad with Joice Banda’s moneys.you are not a Christian but a pure pagan.leave chimwemwe alone.You have totally Failed to run the livingstonia Syd.you have stolen all gifts from donors,fridge,bicycles tiye uko

  56. Yawo ija atumbuka kudzikonda, ndipo olo manyazi alibe kukalowelera mu region ya nkhoma synod. Pano ndi izi ayambanso nsanje ndi mwana, iishh mtundu uwu sudzamva.

  57. “Dismissal and transfer” are two different. The point it appears to me is the circumstances surrounding the transfer. People get attached to a pastor who is doing it right. Its normal. Even Jesus experienced it. Its the Rev. who is holding the key to the solution, it is him who can make his Kenengo Congregation understand his calling if he is ready to move. Sometimes the people in Church authority they don’t make public all the reasons to the faithful why they are making chan ges. The stress here is “all the reasons”. Often the person involved may know all the reasons.

    To rest my case, my dear people let us not give the devil power to divide. The God you and me serve, is a God of unity, peace and harmoney. Dialogue and prayer can help us pass through this. The devil celebrates where there is devision.

  58. chimwemwe tangopita ku euthiniko utiwonongela mpingo, kodi abusa makani bwanji, act as a man of God, Ku town Ndikwabwinodi Mpaka Mbusa Kukana Kukalalikila Ku Mudzi. Shame

  59. Chimwemwe ingolowa mu Chipembedzo cha Mulungu.Mipingoyi ingokuchedwetsa.Nthawi yatha m’bale wanga.Asiyire mpingo wawo.

  60. The problem is not Rev. Mhango But Rev Levi Nyondo, the most corrupted minister and liar who in the view of the writer is the Devil incarnate. Nyondo God will punish and your Satanism activity will be exposed. Watch out God is watching.

  61. The squabbles in Livingstonia Synod reminds me of the issue about Arabs. In a book called ” By the Rivers of Babylon” the author said and I quote, “when Arabs are not fighting the Jews, they are fighting each other”, end of quote. Thus, when Livingstonia synod is not fighting Nkhoma Synod it has internal fights. Za Ambuye zimenezi? Ndakaika!

  62. firstly he was transfered to Ekwendeni with which he refused to go and a second transfer came in to go to Euthini he also refused.
    I don’t get it why a reverand would refuse to go and preach the WORD OF GOD to other people??? Did Jesus only stay at the same place??? ddnt Paul only stayed at one place too?? No
    say he agreed and moved to Ekwendeni? would he have been suspended??? apa ndiye am bold to say that satana walowa mu church ya kanengo!!!! the church is now divided and it is now destroyed,,,,
    and it is not all church members who will break out of the synod,,,, where will the other pole go and pray because they have been there and have helped build the church and all pple bringing in this idea of breaking out are really immature physically and spiritually are they praising God or the pastor??! its really sad seeing my fellow brethrens doing this really sad ,,,,
    Let’s all pray for this Church they need to open there eyes and see

  63. You can come back to your Nkhoma Synod churches like the prodigal (or is it progidal….) son. Tizamwemwetera tikumpokererani ni mawoko awiri. Eh Khristu.

  64. All CSOs, please join Kanengo congregation in condemning Livingstonia Synod “in its strongest terms” for its brutal and xenophobic attack on Rev Chimwemwe Mhango. The man of God is now spiritually traumatized. Lets all pray for his safety and that he continues to undertake his normal duties at Kanengo congregation!

  65. You Lilongwe congregation please don’t divide or break our church. You go to church to worship God not Rev mhango. So any change of a pastor should not affect you as a congregation because you don’t worship a pastor but God. Unless you have other ulterior motives, there is absolutely no reason why you should break away from liv synod.

    Look now what you have done, giving more fire to tribalist idiots to insult and divide us just because of one pastor refusing to be transferred and you are backing him. Is mhango bigger than the synod or God? The synod exec may have their own faults but what they decide should be obeyed by everyone regardless of whether that decision is justified or not. Let or leave God to decide or judge who is at fault but we must continue with His work and stop bickering for nothing.

    Rev Mhango if God has earmarked you for success, you will succeed anywhere you go not just kanengo. So please discuss the matter with he exec and agree to go where you have been posted!! The unity of the synod is more important. This could set a very bad precedent within the ccap church at large involving all the three synods.

  66. My prayers are with you Rev Chimwemwe Mhango (innocent man). To those of us who are members of this church and have followed every single event, this is disappointing. If anythings the Synod should have dealt with the entire Kanengo executive and the whole congregation. Singling out the Rev C Mhango alone is unfair and painful, but why? Do do you think the whole church can be bulldozed by a Pastor into refusing a mere transfer? We have had several pastors before but none was victimized as Rev. Chimwemwe Mhango! The synod requires “boom washing” as it is very dirty and dark spiritually. It is full of xenophobic spiritual tyrants like GS Nyondo, (old sycophants and bootlickers) failing to uphold well stipulated rules. They operate like headless chickens in reverse mode! Honestly, this issue would not have reached this far if we had sensible, level headed leaders at the synod. But alas, we have dead wood at the synod!

    If the synod is not reversing the suspension, then Kanengo congregation will move out of Livingstonia Synod. Lest Synod leaders forget, as members we do not pray Livingstonia Synod, we do not eat Livingstonia Synod. In case of death, we are never burried at the Synod premises. There is nothing to lose, so we can leave! Mbusa wa mbwino amasaka khosa yosokela kusiya zambiri zikudya msipu koma atsogoleri a Livingstonia Synod ndi abusa osokonekela, a xenophobia!

  67. Am not a presbeterian but ihave been following this good man of God with keen interest,,,,i love and like him.How iwish this issue is solved amicably,,,BUT all in all Abusa mulungu ali nanu.

  68. Chimwemwe is such a good.preacher and Pastor that Kanengo Congregation will surely miss him. The whole fiasco as it is raises questions about Church administration. But let’s not be in arms because that’s how Protestant Churches were born. May God the Almighty intervene in a special way and in a manner known to Himself only! So no more fighting, badmouthing and any sort of vitriol!

  69. Northerners, making noise in other people territory-Nkhoma. Is Lilongwe Nyika republic?

    Why when a northerner is transferred they claim victimisation, even in government its the same. What kind of selfishnes this is?

  70. ndeu tumbuka you came to settle in other peoples land kukula mtima now God has sent his soldiers to fight yourself. not that the pastor is wrong but you big headed senate of livingstonia. simunati. Nsanje basi. leave this youthful minister here. munaziyamba nokha. wooooooo. muyaluka mukazitenga udyo muona. yakula apa ndi nsanje basi

  71. Zanu izo atumbuka. Takumana okhaokha adyeratu apa! Mapeto ake mugawana ka church kano ka anthu odzikondaka. Ife a Nkhoma tili phee kuupeza.

  72. Tribalism, nepotism regionalism at work. Abusa mwachokera kutali dzichepetseni. Munalumbira kupita kulikonse kumene kuli anthu. Anthuwo adzakutayani tsiku lina. Wherever you can be God will be there

  73. No wonder atumbuka ni thana. I knew that it won’t take long the divided base which Livingstonia synod has will continue being weakened until this church fall. I have never seen a church so divided as Livingstonia. if you go to mzuzu karonga rumphi you will believe me, too much gossiping. as small as karonga is it has more than 4 churches just around the town. we will see the down fall soon chavuta ndi MONEY

  74. Amenewo ndiye atumbuka northern region football league iri Ku court synod ndi iyi akapanga secede akamenyako selfish dogs

  75. Ndilowelelepo apa Livingstonia Synod doesnt fear man neither do they serve man. Zoti Mhango is a northener hence they should be cool with him, doesnt stand at all with them. You are wrong you are wrong, hamba kale. As a Rev, you go anywhere you are sent, you dont chose or else leave the ministry.

  76. When we die we will not go to Livingstonia Synod. we will go to heaven. Let Levi Nyondo stay with his outdated 12 th centuary, dictatorship rule. When a change has come has come no matter what. Its long time our reverands have been living in fears, intimidation because of one person. The change has to come from somewhere and its Kanengo congregation.

  77. This marks the beginning of disintegration of a religious group founded on principles of regionalism. As is the case now the CCAP Livingstonia synod is more of a political grouping than a God worshiping church. It is like a house built on sand and does not last.

  78. Let them and go and see who will loose they are at libery to go maybe there will be a closed chapter if they go.kanenho will no longer have issues with the synod and the synod will have no issue with kanengo beccoz if they continue to be together the dust caused by this issue will never settle the only solution is the suggestion put forward by the deacons court that they will quit the synod those are my views

  79. REVERAND CHIMWEMWE MHANGO IS CONFUNISTS AND SELFISH.HE WAS BUSY PLAYING HIS MUSIC WHEN THE LIKES OF REVERAND MEZUWA BANDA WERE FIGHTING DAY AND NIGHT WITH NKHOMA SYNOLD ON THE BOARDER ISSUE TILL THE BATTLE WAS WON WHICH LED TO THE BIRTH OF LILONGWE CONGREGATION???????????????????????? BY THE WAY ADADA MULUSHA, ARE YOU THE FIRST ONE TO BE TRANSFERRED AWAY? THE PEOPLE OF EUTHIN JUST LIKE THOSE OF KANENGO NEED YOUR WORD OF GOD.

    LET CHIMWEMWE BE OPEN ENOUGH THAT THE REASON HE WAS CONTINUED STAY IN LILONGWE IS BECAUSE THERE IS A BIGGER MARKET FOR YOUR MUSIC OTHERWISE THIS BEHAVIOUR IS NOT OF A MAN OF GOD.

    1. Ndipo nane ndakhala ndikuna kufnsa kuti kodi chifukwa chiyani a chewa ndi alomwe amkalira kulimila atumbuka, zaka ndi zaka? funso lina ndilakuti chifukwa chiyani a chewa ndi alomwe akututana masiku ano kukakoloa nyumba ndikuka checha ma yard a a Tumbuka ku Mzuzu?

  80. Ameneu Ndi Watchito Wa Livingstonia Synod Osati Wa Kanengo Akhristu Muyenera Kudziwa Zimenezo

  81. Nyasa Times! It is not Chimwemwe who is mobilising the congregants to form a break away Church, but the christians themselves, The reverend is not even part and parcel of the elders and deacons meeting he is at home praying over his dismissal and the way forward, So you other dunderheads please stop implicating Chimwemwe for you are writing out of ignorance, Leave Kanengo alone we will solve these problems on our own, very Shortly you will hear the truth. The Synod will be exposed and you will see who is at fault.

  82. Now, How is the Reverend going to channel his prayers to the Lord with all this mess? I can imagine the Lord seating on his throne with Jesus on the right hand listening to the prayers of the good Reverend together with some of the chosen Kanengo Congregation Church Members. Very Sad. LIBELION? I am yet to learn from Kanengo.

  83. Just remain a Christian and go and pray every Sunday at any Livingstonia synod church. My advise is go there a bit late so that you do not cause centre of attention and then with time it will all have vanished.

  84. Nenani zoona kuti mukufuna kuchotsa Chimwemwe ku Lilongwe kuti muzakhale ku Headquarters ya LL 2016 udindo wa Gs ukatha ndipo anzanuwo azakhale pa Kanengo.
    Ena munawatuma kale ali konkuno tikuwadziwa. Synod, why can’t u come to Kanengo to sort out the issues. Chiyambile nkhaniyi sumunabwereko chifukwa ninji?General Secretary? Akhrisitu ndi amene akukana osati Chimwemwe. Mukaphya chifukwa cha zii. Mukhale chitsanzo ndinu anchito osati mabwana. Dictotors mu mpingo? Sorry.

  85. Stupid Katswiri,

    You want to confuse people,all christians cant be mad..you are a bruit…..bruit…if You know English…stupid zamako.

  86. Nyondo has has a sister whose Husband is a pastor at area 49.she has been writing lies on this media and it’s in our history. She tells her Brother to send only Chitipa pastors to Lilongwe and we have évidences on this. Why doing this to us??? CCAP Doesnt mean CHITIPA!!! To helll all of you stupid Nyondo’s. Kanengo was built by us, synold Never contributed anything. We can Pay you back what we owe you and we own our hall.

  87. Nkhani ndiyotu Rev Mhango is a threat kwa akulu akulu a synodyo imeneyi ndi nkhani yosavuta ingobwerani ku Bt synod akulandirani zisiyeni nkhalambazo

  88. I also quiting this church and Will not pay plegues i commited. Please give me back all the money i have paid to build your church apo biii muwona. Who is Nyondo?? Pathako panu

  89. so bad , as christians tikulephera kukwanilitsa chi christu kudzera mzintchito zathu koma pakamwa baxi, apa zikuonetselatu kut ambirife tinavara zikopa zankhosa koma tikuzinyenga tokha .izi zikuchitira umboni kut palibe mgwirizano pakati pathu.

  90. There is no Livingstonia Synod in Lilongwe or anywhere outside the northern region.

  91. Nkhani ya Rev. ndi yonvetsa chisoni as a synod of livingstonia, suspending the whole Reverend pazifukwa ngati za ma transfer or kukatumikira kwina being kusagwirizana basi suspension nzodandaulitsa kwa ife a khristu. I only beg the synod to reverse the idea and have a dialogue, after all we preach to forgive osati zolimbana. anzathu a pentecoastal ali pheee koma as a synod kukhalira ma phokoso kusalolerana.

  92. Chimwemwe Chimwemwe Chimwemwe why did you protest going to euthini.reverends go everywhere.shame on you

  93. mumalimbira kumanga mu region ya nkhoma synod ngati kuti mumakondana koma lero manyazi mwayamba kulimbana nokha nokha kusakha monona abusa.

  94. Uwo ndiumboni woti Livingstonia synod is confused. They started fighting with Nkhoma synod. Now akulumana okha okha.

  95. You people of God the problem is not with chimwemwe Mhango but members form Kanengo congression,remember what happened to nkhoma synod,chritians left it and formed PCM

  96. Anthu akumpoto alibe kuti uyu ndiwakwathu .Walakwawalakwa basi.kumbukirani Chakufwa Chihana,so who is Chimwemwe Mhango?Onse woswa malamuro alangidwe molinga ndi kulakwa kwao.Zotengera kuti wakwathu ndi chifukwa mukungotibweretsera dzimbalangondo dza atsogoleri.

  97. People don’t know the that Livingstonia SYNOD and Blantyre SYNOD controls the movements of their Pastors it is enshrined in their constitution as Presbyterians. Pastors are posted to where the SYNOD wants congregants do not call for a Pastor un like NKHOMA Synod where Pastors are called and taken care of by congregants.
    Kulibe kuitana mmbusa ku Livingstonia SYNOD OR Blantyre SYNOD yet Nkhoma as Dutch amaitana a Busa.
    Chimwemwe Mhango akudziwa zimenezi.
    Musakopere za Nkhoma because you are in their territory timanena zikulakani?
    Don’t make the work of God suffer because of your hypocrisy God will Judge you

  98. Is there an issue for someone to decide to dump the synod? Do you really know why you joined the synod? Is the synod no longer the right place to nurture and grow your spiritual life simply because Chimwemwe Mhango has been dismissed as a reverend? I wonder if some of us really know the reasons we go to our churches!!!! God have mercy on us!!!!

  99. Rev. Mhango with all due respect accept whatever the decision has been made on u. if you are really CCAP christian an u know the rules n’ regulations. If you start mobilising people to protest, timuzizwaninge this is not pilitics. panyakhe nako kuli CHURCHGATE.

    TIfufuzepo apaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  100. Zomagwetsana mumpingo – muzathetsa mipingo yanu – humans are taking the role of the creator in their own hands, I have seen and heard of many types of wagwa mumpingo since I was born and those who are in for front are the heavy sinners by the end of the day. I can warmly invite the man to get a Quraan and study it – it might give him some direction for the better life we all think about.

  101. Kodi Bambio Chimwemwe , m’mesa ku Euthini ndi kwanu. It is a sin to disobey inu mungofuna mtauni basi komwe chopeleka nchochulukilako? Kufalitsa mau a Mulungu kwa anthu olemera , osauka kuwakana nde si uchimo umenewu?

  102. Ndiamafuna ndikuikileni kumbuyo koma palakwika ponena kuti “what I know is that I have not sinned” Please konzani mau amenewo kaye then I will support you.

  103. Ma demoni yazaza ku synod, anthu ake okhulupilira kukhwima instead of doing zauzimu. There is no any other minister at the synod who can remove a demon from a possessed person nor do any deliverance from the afflicted person, SHAME ON THEM, THE SYNOD WILL NOT TAKE US TO THE GLORY OF GOD.

  104. Reverend Mhango ndibwino kuzichepesa you have all the respect which has been built for a long time.Your silence can be mis understood that you are behind the rebelion which may turn out bad if not handled properly.Ephesians is a good book on obedience’Respect earthily leaders so that the name of our Lord should be glorified’

  105. Mtumbuka ndi mtumbuka basi ngakhale akhale mbusa zocitikazake ndi zausatana ngati momwe Levi nyondo ndi Chipofya amupangira Reverend Mhango.

    Kodi mavuto anu ndi angati ife timaona ngati mumakondana nokhanokha but shiiii blood shed ndiponi akanakhala wapakati kapena kumwera tikanamvesa but your own brother mukapya nazo zimenezo
