The Tanzanian government has deregistered Glory of Christ Church, led by Kawe Member of Parliament Josephat Gwajima, accusing it of delivering politically charged sermons intended to incite the public.

According to the Tanzania Registrar of Civil Societies, the church violated the Societies Act, Chapter 337, by preaching in a manner that pits citizens against the government. "By the powers granted to me, I hereby revoke the registration of the Glory of Christ Church.

You are hereby required to stop all activities immediately,'' announced Emmanuel Kihampa, the Registrar.

The registrar accused the church of endangering national peace and stability.
