Pope Francis has since accepted the resignation of Bishop
Bhasera from his position with reasons for the decision still unclear though
sources implied it could be due to poor health.
Bishop Bhasera(73) was appointed to his position in October
2017 and is credited for steering a number of developmental projects that were
rolled out across Masvingo by the Catholic Church to benefit communities.
Pope Francis has since appointed the Archbishop of Harare,
Reverend Robert Ndlovu, as the Apostolic administrator of Masvingo pending the
appointment of a new bishop for the diocese.
“His Holiness Pope Francis has accepted the resignation
from the pastoral care of the Diocese of Masvingo, presented by the Right Reverend
Bishop Michael Dixon Bhasera,” read part of a press release from the Apostolic
Nunciature in Zimbabwe dated July 19. Herald
