Nolbert Kunonga

Nolbert Kunonga (born 31 December 1950 in Wedza District, Southern Rhodesia) is the former Zimbabwean Anglican Bishop of Harare and Mashonaland.

Kunonga was criticised within and outside the Anglican Communion for his ardent support of Robert Mugabe, the President of Zimbabwe.

This was at a time when other religious leaders in the country, notably the Roman Catholic archbishop, Pius Ncube, were condemning Mugabe's government for its human rights excesses across Zimbabwe.

[4] In August 2011, the country's Chief Justice ruled that all Anglican property in the Harare diocese was under Kunonga's custody.

[5] On 19 November 2012, the Zimbabwe Supreme Court Deputy Chief Justice, Luke Malaba, ruled that Kunonga and his followers were no longer part of the Church of the Province of Central Africa and that Kunonga will have to surrender everything that belongs to the church that is in his hands.
