A prominent church leader in Beitbridge has been having a
steamy affair with a congregant;s wife for over 10 years. Madzibaba Tonderai
Ben of Johane Masowe YekuJecha KwaLimpopo Church has been sleeping with Timothy Gwaendepi’s wife. Gwaendepi is a close
friend and Madzibaba Tonde’s interpreter.
He confirmed to the Masvingo Mirror that his wife Tendai
Mutake (32) has since left him for her parents’ home in Bulawayo after the
affair was exposed two weeks ago.
The Mirror is in possession of voice records in which
Madzibaba Tonde made calls of up to 32 minutes to Mutake. Madzibaba Tonde who
is a debt collector in Beitbridge was also recently installed as a headman.
Madzibaba Tonde said he was being framed by Gwaendepi. He
said that the voice recordings were edited to incriminate him.
The two love birds discussed their steamy escapades in the
voice recordings. Both said they marvelled it most when they did in the bush
where it is free and there is no one to disturb them. The recordings also show
that Madzibaba Tonde would regularly sleep in his friend’s matrimonial bed.
Gwaendepi said he discovered the relationship between the
two after he recently bought his wife a new phone that has recording facilities.
Two weeks ago, he took his wife’s phone as his was not working and went to
church with it.
On the way as he went through the phone’s call log he
realised that there was an unsaved number that made frequent and long calls to
his wife.
“I was so shocked, so sapped of energy that I turned back
and went home just after arriving at the church. I saw no reason for going to
church when such was happening in my life.
Madzibaba was not at the church and I later realised that he had an
appointment with my wife.
“Impulsively I just sent the voice recordings to members of
the church and the recordings went viral and my wife just packed her belongings
and went back to her parents in Bulawayo.
“What annoys me now is that Madzibaba is now abusing me on
Facebook saying that the allegations are not true when his voice and his number
are on the recordings. My wife confessed to the adulterous relationship before
she left. The affair had run for 10 years,” said Gwaendepi.
“Nhasi ndakurova
zvandinofarira.................. Kuita bhora mberi chaiko,” said Madzibaba
Tonde after one of the chats.
“Nhasi zvanga zvichifaya wena. Asi nhasi waifanirwa kuswera
pamba wotobva wadya. Kana wanga uchida kana kuswerera zviri kwauri hapana kana
nyaya,” said Mutake.
