HOUSE of Grace International church leader, Prophet Sham Hungwe, stands accused of wrecking an eight-year marriage.
Zachariah Matunya (43) claims the man of cloth lured his
wife, Samantha Chibwanya (29) to his Waterfalls house where he seduced and
bedded her.
From that day, according to Matunya, Samantha has been
denying him his conjugal rights and would leave home unceremoniously.
He accused Prophet Hungwe of threatening him, after he
confronted him, over the adulterous affair and lodged a police report against
the man of cloth under CR239/08/20.
Matunya also filed a report about a missing person, under
the same record, at Harare Central Police Station.
The missing person he was referring to was Samantha.
Prophet Hungwe confirmed the affair with Samantha arguing that her marriage to Matunya had irretrievably broken down, at least, under customary law.
“Prophet Hungwe snatched my wife under the pretext that he
wanted to pray for her and counsel her after discovering that we were in a
misunderstanding,” said Matunya.
“He invited Samantha to his Waterfalls house where he
seduced her.
“My wife confessed after I confronted her about their
unholy prayers and confessed she lost feelings for me from the day Hungwe
bedded her.
“She was threatened and was forced to leave our home
unceremoniously to stay in Gweru, without my knowledge, and I had to report her
as missing.
“I also lodged a police report against Hungwe for
threatening me and kidnapping my wife and Samantha was forced to report to the
police and dismiss the kidnapping case.
“I have all the messages between myself and Hungwe and my
wife’s too, disclosing how she was being threatened and sexually abused.
“Hungwe scoffed at me arguing that he was well connected
and had the audacity to send me his photographs with my wife, urging me to
report wherever I want.
“He masked his face on the pictures he sent to me and that
emotionally affected me and my daughter.”
Prophet Hungwe vehemently denied snatching Samantha from
Matunya arguing that the two had separated.
“Zacharia had separated with Samantha when I started dating
her, besides I had known her before their marriage,” said Prophet Hungwe.
“Samantha’s uncle is the one behind this because he wanted
to extort me after discovering our affair and is the one who engaged Zacharia
to come up with such claims.

“They wanted to extort me but I stood my ground, that is
why they are tarnishing my image and they threatened to expose me,” said
Prophet Hungwe.
Samantha confirmed moving out to stay with the House of
Grace leader.
“Our marriage had been shaking and we separated although we
are yet to separate according to custom,” said Samantha.
“We are still engaging relevant people for my separation
with Zachariah and I have decided to live with Prophet Hungwe.
“I grew up at my mother’s parents and they are the ones who
received lobola paid by Zachariah.
“They are the ones against my affair with Prophet Hungwe
and they engaged Zachariah to help them fight their war with my real father,” she
said.
Samantha’s uncle, Thomas Chibwana, could not be reached for
comment. H Metro
