In a heartfelt response to the passing of Archbishop Paul Mwazha, church leaders across the country have expressed profound sorrow at the loss of a pivotal figure in the body of Christ. Known as Mutumwa Mwazha, the founder of the African Apostolic Church, passed away yesterday at the age of 107 after a long illness. “Good morning.
It is with deep regret that I inform you of the passing of our beloved leader, Archbishop Paul Mwazha of Africa, on November 20, 2025. Although he has departed from us, we remain united in spirit. More information will be provided in due course.
Kudzai Jehovha, Kudzai Jehovha!” Apostle Stephen Mangwanya of the New United Apostolic Faith Church described Archbishop Mwazha as one of Africa’s greatest evangelists. “We have lost a good evangelist who touched many lives and brought them to Christ,” he reflected. “He has been a mentor to countless leaders and a beacon of wisdom and courage.

“We mourn the departure of a true leader in the body of Christ.” Madzibaba Moses Gwasarira of Johanne Masowe lamented that Mwazha’s death came at a time when he was yet to fully enjoy the fruits of his labour. “Archbishop Mwazha’s influence spanned the continent, mentoring senior leaders who now carry forward his legacy. “His commitment and zeal were unwavering, and he was continually planting seeds of faith,” he said.
“He began his ministry during colonial times, enduring many trials faced by indigenous churches. “His leadership and resilience are examples for us all. He deserves a period of mourning for the significant role he played before, during, and after independence.
We have truly lost a spiritual hero.” Apostle Benjamin Joseph Murata from the New Life Pentecost Church expressed his deep disappointment at the loss of a visionary leader. “As it is written in Isaiah 57, ‘The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.’ This scripture resonates with the passing of faithful individuals like Archbishop Mwazha.
