Mugabe ally siezes orphanage

Zimbabwe’s top Anglican bishop said an excommunicated church leader close to the country’s president has taken over an orphanage housing 80 children as part of a schism over gay marriage.

Bishop Chad Gandiya, leader of the mainstream Anglican group, said that the breakaway leader also has seized mission schools and priests’ homes on the church premises near Murewa, some 50 miles east of the capital, Harare.
