Oscar Mukahanana, a Christian cleric of the United Methodist Church (UMC) has committed suicide in response to the leakage of his adultery scandal on the church’s WhatsApp group.
As the Reverend at the Harare East District Superintendent in Zimbabwe, Mukahanana engaged in an extra-marital affair with a female youth within the church.
The situation escalated when an audio recording of their secret sexual engagement was shared on the church’s WhatsApp group, leading to widespread mockery and humiliation for Mukahanana.
Unable to bear the shame, he made the decision to end his own life.
