Church pastor takes own life following leaks on WhatsApp group

A pastor, Oscar Mukahanana, tragically ended his life after details of a sexual scandal were exposed on his church's WhatsApp group. Mukahanana, a reverend at the United Methodist Church's Harare East District in Zimbabwe, was involved in an extramarital affair with a female youth from the congregation.
The scandal escalated when an audio recording of Mukahanana engaging in the illicit activity with the woman was leaked and shared on the church's WhatsApp group. In the recording, he expressed his excitement about the encounter and mentioned that it took place before the woman's menstrual cycle.

As news of the scandal spread within the church, members began circulating the leaked conversation and mocking Mukahanana, even creating memes that ridiculed him as the District Superintendent.

Feeling deeply humiliated and embarrassed, Mukahanana was unable to bear the shame and took his own life on Friday.

The UMC Harare District issued a statement in response to the tragic incident, expressing their sorrow: "It is with great sadness that we inform you of the untimely death of our beloved District Superintendent, Rev Oscar Mukahanana of the Harare East District. The Office of the Bishop will communicate further developments and funeral arrangements. We kindly request the church to support the Mukahanana family through prayers during this difficult time."
