Church leaders in Harare are getting warned about worshippers hitting energy drinks and drugs to power through all-night prayer sessions. Father Thulani Makuwa from the Anglican Charismatic Church says praise team members are showing up high and acting weird during services. The problem has gotten bad enough that some pastors are trying to perform exorcisms on people who are just strung out on substances.
Superintendent Peter Zhanero from the cops told people at the awareness event that addiction is wrecking lives across the community. Pastor Lina Madzinga opened up the Ebenezer Transformation Centre to train religious leaders on mental health counseling since they need tools to handle both addiction cases and general mental health issues among their congregations.
