Die Bekanntgabe hat lt. Recherche und Bericht von Glaubenskultur: Augenzeugen berichten von Steinwürfen zu Tumulten und tätlichen Angriffen im Gottesdienst am vergangenen Sonntag in Lusaka geführt.
Auf change.org wurde bereits vor einer Woche und bereits vor Bekanntgabe der geplanten Nachfolge durch Soko eine Petition gegen den anstehenden Wechsel gestartet: Transparency in the administration of the New Apostolic Church, Zambia, Malawi & Zimbabwe.
Die Petition hat Stand 08.05.2019 folgenden Wortlaut:
Korruption und Käuflichkeit des Amtes sind die dort von den Unterzeichnerinnen häufig genannten Gründe für die Unterzeichnung dieser Petition:Dear Chief Apostle, Jean Luc Schneider, Leader of the New Apostolic Church International,
For the sake of a peaceful, transparent and trusted process that will inspire growth of the NAC in the district of Zambia, Malawi and Zimbabwe, you are with due respect requested to reconsider the appointment of the new District Apostle as indicated in the circular No. 001-001-001-/2019 that was read in all congregations on Sunday, 28th of April, 2019, and find space to listen to the grievances being expressed by the general members of the family of God's children that is under your able leadership.
We wish to state that our criticism is similarly brought about by the love for the work of God. Criticism is part of growth and through alternative views come solutions. We are of the view that every member of the church, insignificant as they be, have right to actively participate in the affairs of the church. When alternative views are brought forth about what is perceived not to right, members should not be quiet shut out. Permitting acts of apparent injustices and lack of transparency to prevail in the family of godliness is setting ourselves for failure in the face of values we represent in the doctrine of the New Apostolic Church where every member must feel at home.
We trust that you will be able to uphold the true nature of the values and principles that the New Apostolic Church in the world and in the district in particular has been known for, values of transparent leadership, love, peace and justice.
The Appointment as new District Apostle, of District Apostle Helper Kububa Soko should be rescinded because it has brought division, anger, and resentment in the church. A number of aggrieved members of the church in the district are crying out silently, a situation that is not desirable.
We look forward to your listening ear and timely decision in the quest to make all members of the church in the district feel at home.

The church is riddled with corruption, selective punishment, financial mismanagement, deficiency in leadership and strategy.

It's now an open secret that the District Apostle Charles Sakavumbi Ndandula is on a path to destroy the New Apostolic Church in Zambia Malawi and Zimbabwe.
Charles Ndandula has received colossal sums of money from the incoming District Apostle Kububa Soko, we also know who is going to replace Kububa Soko as District Apostle Helper and we also know what that Apostle to be DAH and District Elder to be ordained Apostle to replace Apostle. These individuals have spoken the politics taking place in Charles Ndandula's time.
1. He appoints people into positions of Apostle when they have paid money to him even when those individuals have a questionable character.
2. He has brought in tribalism and division in the church by appointing to Apostolic positions mostly from members from his tribesmen.
The person worthy to take up the position of District Apostle is District Apostle Helper Robert Nsamba because he is not corrupt like Charles Ndandula. We also believe that Charles Ndandula does not consult the Holy Spirit in many issues surrounding the church and he uses church position and expect members to rubber stamp his corruption.
Already the church membership have greatly reduced in Senanga Shangombo Apostle because the rightful person was left out in induced suspension. It is an open secret that retired Apostle Luneta Ignatius Bisenga created elder districts not known to the church administration, he ordained District elders and District evangelists without permission, he collected church offering from those districts unknown to the administration for himself, all these Charles Ndandula new them and he did not do anything to control the situation just because they were sharing the proceeds.
Chief Apostle the situation of church administration requires your attention and in future I would recommend that you follow Hosea 8:4 especially when ithe comes to ordained from Apostles and above.

I'm signing because this decision will have negative impact on the work of God sooner or later...
How will DAH Soko work as DA when he knows that my appointment was controversial and was received with mixed feelings?
How will DAH Samba continue working as DAH when he knows that he was the right person to take the position of DA?...
Suggestion: Let DA Ndandula continue serving until further notice

I'm signing because I feel there's hatred and dislike for people with spiritual gifts in the church. This is because such people seem to be disturb or interefere in the wrong doings of such members/leaders involved in such activities. Which I feel shouldn't be the case for a church that claims to spread the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ was very clear in His teachings Mark 16:17; John 14:12
