Church divided as Pastor marries his secretary four months after his wife’s death

AFM church has been divided into two because of the cleric’s action of remarrying his secretary after his wife died five months ago.

He wedded his secretary last week in an elaborate ceremony which was officiated by Rev. Manyinka in Hat field.

This wedding ceremony was a shock which left many people with mixed feelings. They said it was inappropriate for Rev to remarry just after four months.

Before now, the church had speculated that he has been having an affair with this lady.

Here is his statement;

Rev Chinyemba had no pressure to marry his new wife Nyaradzo Chibhememe who has been widowed for the past 20 years.

“The two fell into a relationship for one and half months before tying the knot and his three daughters-Prudence, Patience, and Precious-are grown-ups and married.

“Yes, Prudence was supposed to be married according to custom on 12th December 2020. The date was moved to next year to allow the wedding to take place.”

“Rev Chinyemba’s marriage was not a secret and at one time he met Dr Ezekiel Guti with the intention to be allowed to marry one of the ZAOGA widows, but it was not God’s will. (sic)

“He saw it best to take his secretary as his wife since she has been widowed for some years and he took AFM Council co-workers as part of his bridal crew.

“Those who are making noise about this wedding could of the other faction as you know that the AFM split is still pending before the courts of law.

“We would like to suggest that church politics is at play here and might be the other faction members who are up to tarnish Rev Chinyemba’s name.”

Kefas Mujokori, a Reverend also insisted that there is no law in the AFM’S constitution that bars widowed or single members from contesting for any church position.
