It's Illegal To Worship And Make Noise In Open Spaces: Council Warns Churches

In an interview with The Sunday Mail, Harare City Council spokesperson Michael Chideme said it is illegal for churches to make noise in the name of religion.

Chideme also encouraged street preachers to seek permission from businesses around the areas they minister from. He said council will not hesitate to repossess stands from churches that fail to use them. Said Chideme:

Council will repossess stands from churches that fail to use it. If they breach their contracts, then council has no option, but to intervene with corrective action. The city fathers respect the right to belong to a religion and we want it to flourish, but we are against noise pollution in the name of gospel. Churches are disturbing other people’s peace by their public address systems and musical instruments.
