THE head of the Roman Catholic Church in Bulawayo, Archbishop Pius Ncube, yesterday threatened to close all Catholic schools if the Government goes ahead and introduces a new fee structure.The disgraced cleric made the threats when he addressed a low-key meeting at Nkulumane Hall in Bulawayo organised by a little-known anti-Government pressure group - Ibhetshu Likazulu.
His public stunt was dismissed by some residents of Nkulumane as a bid to divert attention from the scandalous lawsuit that has shattered his moral standing as a high-ranking clergyman.
"If the insensitive Government slashes fees as they are threatening to do, we will close our schools (Catholic). I will make sure that happens," he said.
"Price controls are a good thing if done in a moderate manner, but if it is extreme and justified by lies as is the case in Zimbabwe, then we should resist them."
