Former Roman Catholic Archbishop of Bulawayo Pius Ncube has admitted to failing "to keep God's commandment with regard to adultery" for which he apologised profusely and appealed for prayers from sympathisers.

Bishop Ncube's adulterous escapades were exposed in July last year by a private investigator who had been hired by the husband of one of his lovers. In an interview with Frontier Africa TV, an independent broadcast company based in London and Johannesburg in South Africa at the weekend, Bishop Ncube who resigned last year after the exposure said: "It is true.

"I do admit that I did fail in keeping God's commandment with regard to adultery. "Having failed in keeping the Seventh Commandment - Thou shalt not commit adultery - I would like to apologise that so many of you were praying for me, for the fact that so many of you standing with me in fact suffered so much," he was quoted as saying. Ncube reportedly made the revelations while on his way to the Vatican where he was summoned by Pope Benedict XVI to present his case in November last year.

He has been prohibited according to the Canon law from further work until granted permission by the Vatican.
