An overseer of the Apostolic Faith Mission of Zimbabwe has dargged to court his church for dismissing his contract as an overseer and a pastor.
The overseer,Tamuka Zvavahera also head of all AFM pastors of Bulawayo West,saw his world turning upside down after leaked WhatsApp messages with a married woman.
After the hilarious act the board of elders convened a meeting inorder to discuss the issue and subsequently referred the matter to the national headquaters in Harare.Overseer Zvavahera received a complaint from the Faith Centre Assembly over his leaked WhatsApp messages.
“Pastor Zvavahera made some advances towards a married female congregant which is against the ethics of the church. And by doing so he put the name of the church into disrepute. According to the evidence it was gathered that he booked a lodge in the city,” it reads in part”.
Furthermore ,due to this act,Zvavahera’s contract as both pastor at Magwegwe Assembly and Overseer has been terminated.Unhappy with the conlusion ,Zvavahera engaged lawyers Task Viki and Mary Nyika of Macharaga Law Chambwers ,who are now fighting for his reinstatement.
“The respondents, AFM, Taurai Nyoni, Sherphered Sebata, Mlindeli Ndlovu, Trust Tsengerayi, Nelson Nyahora, Blessing Tatenda Changunda erred and committed an irregularity by terminating the pastoral duties of the applicant at Magwegwe Fellowship and by terminating the application’s position of being an overseer of Bulawayo West province without the authority and mandate to do so in terms of the AFM of Zimbabwe constitution. The respondents erred and grossly committed an irregularity by terminating the applicant’s contract without properly charging him of any offence in terms of AFM constitution and they never gave reasons for terminating his contract. They also never afforded him an opportunity to defend himself,” Zvavahera’s lawsuit, filed by his lawyers, reads in part.
