Man breaks up with fiancée for allegedly sleeping with Catholic priest

A man has called off his wedding to his fiancée on the grounds of infidelity, after accusing her of having sex with a Catholic priest.

The 32-year-old man identified as McDonald Majaya from Bulawayo in Zimbabwe told The Chronicle that he found out about the alleged affair between his fiancee Rutendo Mudzingwa, 24, and her priest, Father Itai Mangenda, after he stumbled on WhatsApp chats between.

According to Majaya the priest had been having an affair with his fiancée since February last year.

He said

“I discovered that the two were in a relationship since last year and we have been having misunderstandings with my girlfriend over the issue. This is unacceptable, how can a priest who vowed not to marry interfere with my relationship?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.”

My Jaya also accused the priest’s brother of trying to bribe him into keeping quiet about the the affair. 

He said:

“His brother first offered me US$300 and l rejected it. He even increased the offer to $500 but l could not trade my life for that. This is my life for goodness’ sake.”

When reached for comment, Father Mujaya denied the allegations saying:

“I know her as a believer and l once went to their home to visit her sick grandmother. The problem is with the girl. If people are over-excited they start thinking that they are in love but that’s not the case. I am her priest and she is a believer.”

Please do not write such stories. Imagine they will be read everywhere and that will tarnish my image. This is a planned lie”
