A group of pastors calling itself Pastors Taskforce on Covid-19 has vowed to defy government restrictions against gatherings of more than 10 people.
The pastors say they will allow members to fill up their churches this Sunday.
The group which says is part of the Pastors Fraternal Association of Malawi, said this during a press conference held at Soul Winners Church in Lilongwe today.
The group’s chairman Bishop Maurice Katema, flanked by three other taskforce members, said restricting gatherings to 10 people was as good as closing the Churches.
“Let the government hear this. It’s either you listen to our pleas to gather in large crowds like we do or we will defy the orders and fill the Churches this Sunday,” he warned.
Government announced a number of restrictions earlier this week in a bid to slow down the spread of coronavirus.
