Archbishop Kunonga: I’m no Zanu-PF puppet

ANGLICAN Archbishop Nolbert Kunonga says he is not a Zanu-PF puppet and described the intended visit by the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams as a propaganda mission to extend British interests in Zimbabwe.

He said Dr Williams (pictured right) was a British, “civil servant on a mission”. Speaking to journalists yesterday, Archbishop Kunonga said he supported democracy that involved the passing on of natural resources to people. He said he spoke his mind in his capacity as a church leader and not as a Zanu-PF activist.

“I do not need any favours from anyone. I am fighting for this land, mines, natural resources of this land and economic power, which is in the hands of the whites. That’s my fight with the British.

“I am not a puppet of Zanu-PF and if I am a puppet, then I am a proud and educated puppet,” he said.

Archbishop Kunonga said Dr Williams was a nonentity and was coming to lobby for homosexuality.

“The Anglican Church is a political organisation when it is in England. Rowan William was appointed by the Queen and the Prime Minister and he is a civil servant of Britain.

“In a political and economic environment, the civil servant represents and symbolises with his State.

“He is a diplomat like Charles Ray (US Ambassador). He is coming to represent neo-colonialism. He is coming to lobby for homosexuality and for him it is a timely move as we are making our Constitution,” he said.
