FIRST, it was Gift Amuli.
Now, it’s Apostle Dickson Nhumwa.
Both men have been forced into publicly apologising after cyberbullying incidents.
Apostle Nhumwa has been forced to apologise to Evangelist Trymore Muparinga.
The controversy began when Apostle Nhumwa shared a video filled with rumours in which he accused Muparinga for allegedly abusing church offerings to seduce women and buy alcohol.
He has now admitted that his claims were unfounded.
In a 22-second video, Apostle Nhumwa expressed his remorse.
“My brother, Evangelist Muparinga, I want to apologise to you for overreacting to an issue I have heard.
“It was so personal. I love you, my brother.”
This marked a significant retraction to a previous one-minute-and-32-second video that has stirred considerable speculation online.
Evangelist Muparinga welcomed the apology, saying that “God wants peace.” Although he had filed a police report against Nhumwa for cyberbullying, Evangelist Muparinga showed a willingness to move forward.
“I will accept his apology. He is yet to meet me. There are some senior church leaders who approached him over his video, maybe that is why he decided to apologise,” he said.
This incident is not Nhumwa’s first encounter with controversy.
He led a branch of Masvingo Heartfelt International Ministries but faced a backlash as members distanced themselves from him due to his controversial leadership style.
His history of grievances, including a previous apology to Heartfelt International Ministries leadership, is well documented.
