Mugabe prays for Arch Bishop Ncube
Baba Chatunga says he prays for the Arch Bishop of Byo, Pius NcubeHARARE - Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe rebuked Catholic Archbishop Pius Ncube today for breaking his vow of celibacy after state media ran pictures of his arch critic in bed with a married woman.
"Since you are my archbishop, Pius, and you swore to celibacy, keep your vows," Mugabe said at the burial of a national hero and former army chief in the capital.
"Snatching other people’s wives is not fair play."
Mugabe described himself an ordinary Catholic who knew God and urged Church leaders to be exemplary.
Zimbabwe’s state-run media published pictures yesterdaythat it said showed Ncube, one of Mugabe’s arch critics, naked in his bedroom with a woman whose husband is now suing the archbishop for adultery.
"I was born a Catholic but I did not swear to celibacy," Mugabe said. "That was my own area of weakness and I chose the path which led me to where I am. I am Catholic and I can say grace like Pius but I chose to marry and Pius chose not to."
Mugabe said he would make a request when he goes to church, for prayers for Ncube "so that he can repent and return to morality."
Ncube’s lawyer has said the cleric would fight the adultery suit.
Mugabe sparked controversy among Catholics in the early 1990s after revelations he had secretly married his former aide and fathered two children while still married to his late wife.
Ncube has been a constant thorn in the side of the Mugabe regime, calling for the people of Zimbabwe to rise up against his rule and declaring his readiness to "go in front of blazing guns".
Mugabe warned in May that Church leaders who had become increasingly critical of him were treading a "dangerous path."
Two weeks ago the octogenarian ruler castigated some bishops for "sleeping around" when they had sworn to celibacy.
"Some of them claim they swore to celibacy yet they sleep around with countless women," he said.

Zhakata's prophecy
Dumi,the Zimbabweblog Editor share a joke with Leonard Zhakata during the singers European tour.If you listen to LKZ's music you will agree that he is a prophet .
With the suffering that zimbos are enduaring, the struggles to survive, food shortages , price controls and human rights abuses.
Zhakata of the Mugove fame's songs are filled with skillfully disguised message for the povo to rise and change their fortunes
In Mubikira he asks whern should i continue to suffer in my fathers country?
In his latest offering, Tinevimbo, the artists gives Zimbos hope saying things will be ok.
My young brother got arrested in the oldest town Masvingo for possesing a 20 litre of the basic cooking oil. I had sent that with other groceries to Zim after my mom had begged me not to send money coz it will not buy anything at what ever price.
COOKING OIL read and not CRUDE OIL or some Chinhoyi diesel.
Zimbabwe ruins for sure
When one is arrested for posessing a basic comodity like cooking oil , the one we used to produce in Zim. those were the days of Covo, Olivine etc you had to choose . The days of Geisha, Lifedbouy, Lux & Romance remember the advert you had to choose
You had to choose which meali meal you wanted vana Parlentta, Chibataura, Ngwerewere, mugaiwa was unheard of.
Tell me do meal meal companies still air adverts on Zanu B C?
In Yarutso taken from Udza Vamwe , Zhakata pleads with the Almight God to just let him raise his children and then take him after seeing wht they become when they grow up
I do not think he is wishing or any father wishes his son to be a teacher or nurse ? ahanzi hazvi bhadhare
After the banning of food imports Chicross boarder chichiri kubhadhara here , what about Chikorokoza?
Zimbo Jokes
Mukomana anga aenda kwemusikana kunoroora and he is introducing his delegation:
" Ava ndisekuru, uyu mukoma wangu kwozoita avo vagere apo mupurisawePrice control"
Guilty or Not Guilty?
I am not saying Arch Bishop Ncube is innocent neither am I saying he is guilty , iwas not the one who played Big Brother or peeping Tom in his Bedroom
But the whole fiasco sounds like it was authotred by the same playwright of the Award winning Ari Ben Menashe movie How to Assasinate Baba Chatunga, starring Morgan “Chamatama” Tsvangison
The screen play, sound lighting and camera work was shoddy.That is grainy and not clear like the Ben Menashe evidence. But it got some doubting Thomases into believing that the MDC leader may have been guilty
In the Ncube issue, not to talk about the state media involvement. ZTV and Zimpapers did not mount such Pulitz Price coverage when Rev Obadiah Msindo was accused of rape.
The Ncube Movie with his pants down (Literally), will certainly get some people doubting especially those who might sense the hand of the C-TEN.
Some think the woman maSibanda was paid to readily and easily accept the affair and play to the state media cameras.
Definitely some already are saying he castigated Mugabe and sounded holier than thou yet he was fucking another man’s wife.
The Arch Bishops innocence was thrown into serious question by his not so clear and cleaver responses
"We are human beings and we are all sinners. Man is both a saint and a sinner," Ncube said. "I will not answer those questions which concern my private life. There are circumstances," he said.
That with his controversial calls that Britain should invade Zim , can you imagine? What is the average ordinary Mberengwa woman likely to think of him?
If its true or not the job is not convincing but hey Zanu does care whether the caser stands in court or not but vatozvibisa Mufundisi uyu ka.
The enstranged hubby is a NRZ technician who questionably funded the sting operation from his paltry salary
