Religion is a close to the heart of many Africans \u2013 closely linked as it is to identity, culture and values.
So no-one will have been surprised at the ferocious response to the BBC Africa Eye documentary series called \u2018Disciples: The Cult of TB Joshua\u2019 \u2013 in which a number of former followers recounted experiences including sexual abuse, rape and manipulation by the self-proclaimed prophet.
But do allegations of abuse of power \u2013 levelled at a number of religious leaders over the years \u2013 suggest regulation is needed? And how can the followers of different religious groups be best protected?
Today on Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja brings together two Christian theologians who\u2019ve wrestled with this question: Bishop Zac Niringiye, who was assistant Bishop of Kampala with the Church of Uganda, and Rev Dr Kenneth Ofula, a priest in his Anglican Church of Kenya and currently Tutorial Fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University.
