Former Mwenezi Ward 5 Zanu PF councillor Tinashe Yingi of Dhuvai Village under Chief Neshuro was recently found dead hanging himself on a tree in the mountain two days after he went missing following the unearthing of his adulterous relationship with a married woman from the same village.
Yingi, whose
dead body was found in a decomposing state in a mountainous area of Chihlahla
village was buried on Monday, June 23 at his home village of Dhuvai.
Chief Neshuro
born Rodwell Gudo confirmed Yingi’s death, saying the former councilor hanged
himself after consuming some poisonous substances following an ‘undisclosed’
dispute.
“Yingi
disappeared on a Friday morning and his dead body was discovered on Sunday. On
the fateful day he is said to have been spotted drinking some beer at Sarahuru
business centre for the first time in his lifetime before collecting some
poisonous substances which he consumed before hanging himself,” said Chief
Neshuro.
However,
sources close to the incident said Yingi who had for long been in an adulterous
relationship with a married woman whose husband works in South Africa succumbed
to pressure after his own wife threatened to report him to the husband of the
women whom he was having an affair with.
“The married
women resides in the same village with Yingi and the two had been dating for a
longtime but all hell broke when Yingi impregnated the women. After discovering
that his husband had impregnated another married woman Yingi’s wife was irked
and she vowed to inform the woman’s husband.
“The women in
question, whose husband is in South Africa, is five months pregnant and Yingi
was afraid that the man would ruthlessly deal with him and also societal
pressure forced him to commit suicide,” said the source.
Another source
said Yingi had pressure from the two women with the pregnant woman demanding
that he marries her while his own wife could have none of it.
“The matter was
the talk of the society and the married woman was also pressuring him to marry
her while his own wife was also disgruntled. So to make sure that he won’t make
any slight mistake of surviving, Yingi consumed some poisonous substance before
hanging himself on a tree,” said a source.
After serving
as Councillor for the then Ward 5 for one term, Yingi’s bid for re-election in
2023 election foiled after the delimitation process divided his ward leading to
his loss during the primaries. TellZimNews
