Nolbert Kunonga is the former Anglican Bishop and head of the Diocese of Harare in Zimbabwe. He rose to infamy for his ardent support of Robert Mugabe, the president of Zimbabwe. This was at a time when other religious leaders in the country, notably Pius Ncube, were condemning Robert Mugabe's government for its human rights excesses across Zimbabwe. He has been in and out of court since 2005. [1][2]
