The Christian community in Zimbabwe has been thrown into turmoil by the unfolding drama surrounding the marriages of prominent pastors.
This week, the private lives of pastors Evidence Chari and Edd Branson were thrust into the spotlight following revelations of alleged affairs between their wives and controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo.
Leaked Instagram messages, many of a suggestive nature, have painted a scandalous picture, with the wives being labelled as unfaithful and Chivayo branded a betrayer.
The scandal has sparked widespread debate, with many questioning how Chari and Branson, as devout Christians, should handle the future of their marriages, especially given the involvement of children.

Speculation is rife, with some suggesting that the public has only seen the tip of the iceberg and that more secrets lie behind closed doors.
In the midst of this chaos, Pastor Evidence Chari, founder of Grace International Church, has chosen a path of forgiveness and reconciliation.
Taking to Instagram, Chari addressed the accusations with a message of love and resilience:
“When you get wounded on duty it takes the wise to understand.
Five years ago, I preached about the wounded prophet who got wounded on duty. Your goal was to help. Stand strong, Queen. I LOVE YOU. Heaven will reward you and Jesus will be praised.”
Chari’s public declaration of support for his wife has been met with a mix of admiration and skepticism. Many praise his commitment to his vows and his willingness to forgive, while others question whether this stance undermines the seriousness of the alleged betrayal.
In contrast, Pastor Edd Branson has remained silent on the matter. Reports indicate that his wife, Maxine Adam, had been involved in an affair with Chivayo, with leaked messages suggesting Chivayo had even gifted her a car.
Intriguingly, it is said that Chivayo asked Branson to present the car to Maxine as a surprise, adding another layer of complexity to the already tangled web.
