A United Methodist Church pastor named Oscar Mukahanana allegedly committed suicide after his infidelity scandal was revealed on the congregation’s WhatsApp group.
The Reverend, who served as the district superintendent for Zimbabwe’s Harare East region, had an adulterous relationship with a young woman from the church.
Several reports claim that the tape of his purported undercover sex with the woman was uploaded to the church’s WhatsApp group.
He described his crazy enthusiasm upon meeting the woman and added that they had a fantastic conversation prior to her menstrual cycle.

When the recording from the WhatsApp group emerged, Mukahanana’s churchgoers began sharing the discussion, making fun of him.
According to the local media, they even made memes to make fun of the District Superintendent for the adultery issue.
Mukahanana, who was humiliated and mortified by the incident, killed himself on Friday because he could not bear the disgrace.
“It is with heavy heart that we announce to you the untimely death of our Beloved District Superintendent Rev Oscar Mukahanana of the Harare East District,” the UMC Harare District said in a statement in response to the incident.
“The Church shall be informed of developments and funeral arrangements via the Office of the Bishop. You are kindly asked to provide the Mukahanana family your support in prayer as a Church.
