	Archbishop Allegedly Pictured in an Adulterous Act The Southern African July 17, 2007 http://thesouthernafrican.com/news/african_news/archbishop_allegedly_pictured_in_an _adulterous_act_20070717_1581_83.html Zimbabwe's state-run media on Tuesday published what it said were photos of Roman Catholic Archbishop Pius Ncube in bed with a woman, a day after the outspoken critic of President Robert Mugabe was sued for adultery. The scandal has dominated radio and television news on Zimbabwe's state-owned stations, beginning on Monday when a state TV crew filmed Ncube being served with the lawsuit. On Tuesday, the government-owned Herald and Chronicle newspapers ran the photos under the headlines "Pius Ncube Shamed" and "Pius in Sex Scandal." Several photos showed a man identified by newspapers as Ncube removing his clothes and lying in bed with a woman. The two dailies said the photos were from a security camera hidden in Ncube's bedroom in Bulawayo by a private investigator hired by Onesimus Sibanda, who is suing Ncube for allegedly having a two-year sexual affair with his wife, Rosemary Sibanda. Ncube refused to comment on the lawsuit or photos but his Nick Matonsi, said: "What I can say is that we are contesting the allegations definitely." BERLIN - British Prime Minister Gordon Brown on Monday urged Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe to change course to end poverty and famine, saying he was concerned about the damage being done to the country's people and economy. "We are very clear about the damage being done to Zimbabwe by the actions of President Mugabe," Brown said at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. JOHANNESBURG - South African opposition Party Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) on Monday said the current political and economic situation in Zimbabwe has reached a state of decay and urgent measures must be taken to halt the troubled Southern African country from total collapse. IFP, however, called on South African Development Community (SADC) to start putting in place a firm foundation for the post-Robert Mugabe era.
