A pastor has gotten himself into serious trouble after
he was found sleeping on a bed belonging to the
church secretary.
Kudzai Makusha, a popular pastor with the Mvuma-
based Zimbabwe Assemblies of God Africa, Forward in
Faith (ZAOGA), has been sacked after he was found
sleeping in the bed of a church secretary Theresa
Kundishora last week.
According to Masvingo Mirror, sources said Pastor
Kudzai Makusha who then went for a hearing in Harare
did not dispute that he spent a night in Kundishora’s
bed but insists that he was alone. He allegedly said
Kundishora went and slept at another house after he
asked for accommodation when he got stranded in
Mvuma late on Tuesday night.
However, the church superiors would not hear any of
that and they fired Makusha after the hearing.
Makusha was allegedly found in Kundishora’s bed at
7am when women elders raided Kundishora’s place
after being told that their Pastor had slept there.
Sources said members of the congregation did not
believe that Pastor Makusha slept alone as there were
rumours that he and the secretary were an item.
The matter infuriarated Mvuma parishioners who
complained to the hierachy.
Tandros Makusha who is the overseer for Chivhu and
Mvuma referred questions to Dr Washington Rupapa
but Dr Rupapa said he was not aware of the matter.
Pastor Makusha’s mobile number was not reachable
while Kundishora promised to call back after finishing
an assignment she was doing.
The Mirror understands that the incident happened after
the Church’s Prayer Convention held in Chivhu on June
11 2017.
After the Convention, Makusha allegedly accompanied
his wife to Harare where he left her at her parents’
place.
He is said to have returned to Mvuma on Tuesday
evening and sought a place at Kundishora’s place after
failing to get transport to Musena, his workstation that
is 6km outside Mvuma.
In the morning, the owner of the house allegedly alerted
women elders in the church that their pastor was with
Kundishora at her place.
Sources said elders, Christina Sithole and Maria
Chiheya went to the house and knocked at the door
and Kundishora opened the door and they saw
Makusha sleeping in her bed.
According to some whatsaap chats in the hands of The
Mirror, Makusha is said to have insisted during the
hearing that he had not slept with Kundishora.
He allegedly said that Kundishora only came back in
the morning just before the women elders arrived.
He said he had to seek accommodation from
Kundishora because she was the only person that he
knew in Chivhu.
