A man has accused a Catholic priest of having sex with his fiancee and consequently called off his wedding plans with the woman.
The man identified as McDonald Majaya (32) from Bulawayo in Zimbabwe told The Chronicle that he only got to know of the affair after he stumbled across WhatsApp chats between Father Itai Mangenda, and his sweetheart, Rutendo Mudzingwa (24).
Father Mudzingwa who took a vow of celibacy and pledged not to have sex is alleged to have been sleeping with Majaya’s girlfriend since February last year.
I don’t know what to do because right now, I’m really hurt. This is disturbing especially considering that l was putting my all into the relationship and was thinking of paying something (bride price) in April.
Mujaya also alleged that the priest’s brother who is also a priest based in Bulawayo attempted to bribe him not to expose the affair.
When reached for comment, Father Mujaya denied the allegations saying,
Please do not write such stories. Imagine they will be read everywhere and that will tarnish my image. This is a planned lie meant to tarnish my image.
