Churches heed directive to limit numbers

CHURCHES have heeded the directive by authorities to limit gatherings to a maximum of 50 people as Christians celebrate the Easter Holiday with caution to prevent a third wave of Covid-19.
This comes as police are out in full force to curtail criminal activities through patrols and crime awareness campaigns.
The four-day Easter holiday, which ends tomorrow, is usually characterised by huge congregations such as church crusades and baptism ceremonies, but this year, such large gatherings have been banned.
The 50-people limit was as far as health authorities could advise the Government to go when the Level 4 lockdown was relaxed by President Mnangagwa at the beginning of March.
Christian Community Raises Alarm Over Mozambique Conflict Thu 04th March 2021 | 06:20 PM
JOHANNESBURG (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 04th March, 2021) An umbrella group of Christian churches in southern Africa has sounded the alarm over a humanitarian crisis unfolding in the north of Mozambique, where a quarter of the population has been displaced by what the UN calls a perfect storm of fighting and natural disasters.
The Fellowship of Christian Councils in Southern Africa met by video this week to discuss the situation on Mozambique s Cabo Delgado, a resources-rich region that has been under siege by Islamist insurgents since 2017. The UN estimates that over 530,000 people have been displaced by December, many of them in the past few months. More than 1,300 civilians have been killed.
