A popular Prophet and Church leader in Zimbabwe has been given two separate burials at the same time by his church and family members due to serious feudamong church factions. Aaron Mhukuta Gomo (94), popularly known as Mudzidzi Wimbo, leader of Johane Masowe eChishanu Vadzidzi VaJesu Church died last Thursday in Harare after a long illness and was buried at the church’s shrine in Shamva the following day. As that was happening, his children and close family members who did not attend the burial held at the shrine of the white garment church because of bitter infighting in his church, held their own funeral wake at their homestead a few kilometres away. Gomo is said to have prophesied that former president Robert Mugabe would become Zimbabwe’s first leader, and this led former President Robert Mugabe to develop interest in solving the feud in Gomo’s church but to no avail. The nonagenarian left his family in 2015 following an acrimonious dispute and settled at the shrine. His children claimed he was being kept at the shrine against his will, reports Bulawayo24. Mugabe tried to intervene in the dispute and even set up a cabinet committee to investigate claims that Zanu-PF succession politics was at the heart of the infighting. The fight between the church and Wimbo’s children raged until his death and his funeral on Friday could not unite the warring parties. His son Abevaishen, who doubles up as headman, described the church’s conduct as ungodly. “There is conflict between church members and the family because of the way he left here and started staying at the shrine. He was forced,” Abevaishen told The Standard at the family homestead after Wimbo was buried at the shrine. “The matter was brought before former president Robert Mugabe and a committee was set up. “It made enquiries, but nothing happened. We were expecting that with the new leadership, things would be corrected, but that has not been the case.
