Bishop Malasa of Anglican to receive MK1 billion as retirement package

It has been revealed that estranged Bishop Brighton Malasa of the Anglican Diocese of Upper Shire will receive about MK1 billion as his retirement package.

The development comes barely a month after the church announced Malasa’s firing.

According to information at hand, church’s Board of Finance made the calculations as per requirement in Canon 13 during a meeting held recently.

One of the members who opted for anonymity confirmed of the meeting in an interview with one of the local daily papers.

“A conclusion was not yet reached on Bishop Malasa’s entitlements and benefits though the draft cost is available.

“The committee made resolutions which shall be communicated officially within the week,” the source was quoted by Nation Publication Limited (NPL).

The church last month gave Malasa up to June 2022 to resign.
