A man has reportedly canceled his wedding plans after he learned that his wife-to-be has had sexual intercourse with her priest.

Sharing his plight with The Chronicle, the pained lover, McDonald Maijaya, stated that he got to know about his fiancee’s romantic relationship with the priest after he went through her WhatsApp chats with him.

He explained that the priest, Father Itai Mangenda, and Rutendo Mudzingwa, his lover, had been seeing each other since February 2018.

While giving the account of how he found out, the 32-year-old man said, “I discovered that the two were in a relationship since last year and we have been having misunderstandings with my girlfriend over the issue. This is unacceptable, how can a priest who vowed not to marry interfere with my relationship?

“I don’t know what to do because right now, I’m really hurt. This is disturbing especially considering that l was putting my all into the relationship and was thinking of paying something (bride price) in April.”

McDonald further mentioned that the priest’s brother reached out to him to not expose the matter to the public and made attempts to bribe him.
