local Baptist pastor on his return home from South Africa recently.
The man has since taken the matter to the traditional court.
Mr Sikhosana Khumbulani (32) from Insukamini Growth Point allegedly caught his wife, Ms Nomazulu Mathonsi, being intimate with the pastor, Mr Christopher Zinomwe Ndebele of Insukamini Baptist Church. Mr Khumbulani had arrived from his base in South Africa unexpectedly, when he caught the two love birds red-handed two weeks ago.
In an interview yesterday, Mr Khumbulani said he reported the adultery case to Chief Bunina’s court. He said pastor Ndebele’s wife will be the other chief witness when the matter is heard tomorrow.
“The matter has been set for Thursday and pastor Ndebele’s wife will be the other witness as she witnessed the incident. Besides, she was aware that her husband was going out with my wife for quite some time,” he said. Mr Khumbulani said Pastor Ndebele’s wife was part of the huge crowd that rushed to his house when he caught the alleged promiscuous pastor in his bedroom.
“She even went on to attack her husband who was still naked when she arrived. Many Insukamini Growth Point residents can bear witness to this case as the majority of them caught a glimpse of the naked pastor on that day,” he said.
Meanwhile, sources within the Baptist Church told our Bulawayo Bureau that Pastor Ndebele had been suspended from leading the Insukamini congregation following the incident. They said Pastor Ndebele was suspended to allow for investigations into the case. Pastor Ndebele, however, professed ignorance of the matter when contacted for comment.
“I don’t know anything you are saying. The fact is that we are neighbours with these people, Mr and Mrs Khumbulani, and nothing more,” he said.
The Midlands region bishop for Baptist Churches, a Mr Moyo, declined to comment on the matter, saying the suspension of Pastor Ndebele was a private church issue.
“I think that’s private church business. Besides, I don’t discuss such matters over the phone, thank you,” he said.
Chief Bunina, however, confirmed that the case was reported at his court.”The matter was supposed to have been heard on Sunday but was postponed to Thursday,” he said.
