Reverend Menard Zvenyika
A REFORMED Church in Zimbabwe pastor, Reverend Menard Zvenyika, who was facing a $10,000 lawsuit from a Masvingo man for having an adulterous relationship and impregnating his wife has committed suicide.
Chezhira Mukobvu dragged the clergyman to the Masvingo Civil Court earlier this year alleging the pastor had an improper relationship with his wife, Rosemary Nyamukachi, 35.
Family members told NewZimbabwe.com that the pastor committed suicide by drinking poison at his homestead in Bikita on Friday. He died while being rushed to Bikita clinic.
The source said Zvenyika was due to be dragged before a church disciplinary hearing over the alleged affair.
“Pressure was mounting on him,” said the family member.
“His job was on the line since there was overwhelming evidence that he was involved in a relationship with a married woman yet he was also married. The hearing was scheduled for Monday.”
