A SENIOR pastor with Upper Room Ministries, Reverend Berry
Dambaza yesterday died after apparently committing suicide by throwing himself
from the third floor of Rezende Parkade in Harare.
Details and circumstances of the incident were not

unconfirmed reports pointed to infidelity.
Dambaza died on the spot and people had to call the police
to attend the scene. The body was taken to a local mortuary for post-mortem.
Investigations to ascertain the circumstances leading to
his death were still in progress yesterday. National police spokesperson
Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the incident.
“We can confirm that a church pastor allegedly jumped from
the last floor of Rezende Parkade and died.
“We are currently investigating the case to establish the
motive or the reasons behind this suicide,” he said.

pastor at the church.
They have two daughters (Oreen and Oretha) and two sons
(Osborne and Oracle).
Reverend Dambaza graduated in 1984 from the Pentecostal
Bible College now known as Pan African Christian College (PACC) in Harare.
