This was revealed during the launch of the Council of
Churches for Africa Women’s Fellowship (CCAWF) in Bulawayo on Sunday.
The launch was held under the theme Parents as good
shepherds: Celebrating the warm nurturing hands, love, heartfelt life and
caring minds.
In an interview, sect leader Herbert Senda said they had
donated a vehicle to the CCAWF initiative to co-ordinate awareness campaigns
against child marriage across the country.
“There have been several reports about young girls being
married off early by the family and those are some of the things that we are
trying to talk to people about. As churches we have a role to play as well to
help the government achieve its goals,” Senda said.
Council of Churches in Africa founder and president Rocky
Moyo said: “We will make sure that we go around the country spreading the word
and there is much that we will do as a church and like I said, the church has
to start fighting this because there is a lot that is happening in the church
that people don’t know.” Newsday
