Pastor Oscar Mukahanana of the United Methodist Church reportedly committed suicide after his adultery scandal was leaked on the church’s WhatsApp group.
The deceased who was a Reverend at the Harare East District Superintendent in Zimbabwe, engaged in an extra-marital affair with a female youth in the church.
The audio record of his secret meeting with the young lady was leaked in the church’s WhatsApp group.
In the audio, he talked about how happy he was having a good session with the girl before her menstrual cycle.
After the audio leaked on the Whatsapp group, his church members subjected him to an object of mockery as they began to forward it to other groups.
His members even created memes, ridiculing the District Superintendent over the adultery scandal.
The cleric who felt humiliated and embarrassed over the matter then ended his life on Friday when he could not withstand the shame.
The UMC Harare District, while reacting to the incident said in a statement, “It is with heavy heart to announce to you the untimely death of our Beloveth District Superintendent Rev Oscar Mukahanana of the Harare East District.
“The Office of the Bishop shall be informing the church of developments and funeral arrangements. As a Church, you are being cordially requested to support the Mukahanana family through your prayers.”
