Officials in Zimbabwe have recently located a no-pants-on-Fridays sect.
The church is in the Mazowe district in central Zimbabwe. Members aren't bound by some of the traditional rules governing apostolic sects here: they're allowed to eat pork, they can smoke and drink and they don't have to wear white 'shepherd' robes.
They have a few curious practices, though. They believe their founder -- Emmanuel Mudiwya -- who died in 1989 was Jesus Christ; they embalm their dead, and male members aren't allowed to wear underwear from Thursday night to Friday night.
"They are a bit on the scary side, to be honest and we usually keep our distance from them," said a teacher from a school near the sect's farm.
