Ehe NDIRI KUKWIRANA NAPASTOR, SO WHAT? I'M USING MY OWN STONYIE AND HE IS USING HIS OWN BLAMBI: LULA LULA SCANDAL ROCKS CHURCH! (WATCH)
NKULUMANE – What happens in church is supposed to stay in church, but in Nkulumane, a scandal involving a Salvation Army leader and a congregant has spilled out into the open, throwing the organisation into turmoil. Major Webster Ngano, a prominent figure within the Salvation Army, is at the centre of allegations of a steamy affair with Dorcas Mutize, a member of his congregation.
While both Major Ngano and Mutize have declined to offer a full comment, the whispers of the alleged affair have spread rapidly through the congregation.
Church members, reportedly aghast at the situation, are said to have dispatched an emissary to Mutize, a divorcee, to warn her of the potential biblical consequences of engaging in a relationship with a married man.
One disgruntled church member revealed that Major Ngano’s behaviour had changed in recent times. “He was no longer staying home, only coming on Sunday morning for the service, then disappearing,” the member claimed. When confronted, Dorcas allegedly responded with a defiant voice note. “The response from her was pure hell-fire,” the church member added.
The two-minute voice note, which has been widely circulated among congregants, reportedly contains a hard-hitting verbal assault.
In the recording, Mutize allegedly calls out names, including Gogo Nyamapfeka, Major Ngano’s mother-in-law, and Major Blessing Ngano, warning them to mind their own business.
“I sleep with Ngano,” she allegedly states boldly, “and we do not use anyone else’s tools. His organ, my organ — our business. If you can’t satisfy your own partners at home, keep your eyes on your own backyard.”
The tirade, delivered in Shona, has reportedly left congregants reeling. Some are said to have resorted to fasting and prayer in an attempt to find the strength to cope with the situation.
In the voice note, she reportedly urged her detractors to focus on their own homes and cautioned against wasting time gossiping about her intimate life, which she described as a purely private affair.
“Do not mix your righteousness with my business,” she allegedly thundered, echoing the biblical sentiment of “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
Following the emergence of the scandal, church members have claimed that Major Webster Ngano has been transferred to Chegutu. However, anger reportedly continues to simmer among the faithful.
“As a church, we subscribe to a high moral compass,” one member stated. “What the pastor is doing with a fellow congregant is wrong. A transfer does not cleanse the stain of a dirty vessel in God’s house.”
Another congregant added further details, stating: “Dorcas was divorced while the Major was already a member here. She went to him for spiritual guidance, and now this relationship is open. Umfundisi is living with this lady in Mahatshula. The ex-husband moved to the UK two years ago. This was a rumour before, but now it’s out in the open.”
However, Mutize has vehemently denied the allegations, insisting that the story is fabricated and threatening legal action.
“That story is a lie. I will sue if you publish it. I sent that voice note to my ex-husband, not to church members. You are after tarnishing my image. I’m not having an affair with this man,” she told B-Metro.
When asked to provide proof to support her claims, she requested that the reporter call her the following day, stating that the information was too sensitive to forward electronically. Subsequent attempts to contact her were unsuccessful.
Major Ngano initially agreed to a face-to-face discussion but later changed his mind, stating that he had no comment to make.
Major Blessing Ngano could also not be reached for comment, as phone calls went unanswered.
The unfolding saga has reportedly left the Nkulumane congregation in a state of shock.
Whispers of sin, scandal, and secrecy now dominate Sunday prayers, leaving church elders scrambling to restore order within the congregation.
Some congregants have drawn parallels with the biblical story of David and Bathsheba, suggesting that even men of God are not immune to temptation. Others are reportedly praying for divine intervention to cleanse the tainted hearts within their congregation.
