Top Cleric In Beer & Women Abuse Allegations<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
By A Correspondent-A dispute between two Zimbabwean preachers has spilled into the public arena after popular street evangelist\u00a0Trymore Muparinga\u00a0filed a police report accusing fellow cleric\u00a0Apostle Dickson Nhumwa\u00a0of cyberbullying.<\/p>\n
Muparinga, known for his comic street-style sermons that blend humour, drama\u00a0and\u00a0social commentary to attract large crowds in townships and city centres, reported Nhumwa to\u00a0police\u00a0after the apostle posted a video on social media accusing him of abusing church offerings.<\/p>\n
In the widely circulated video, Nhumwa alleged that Muparinga was misusing money collected during his preaching sessions to pursue women and buy alcohol.<\/p>\n
\u201cMukomana (Muparinga), akunyanya kuti pese paaenda kunoparidza apihwa mari dzepa altar odzishandisa kudhakwa ne kukecha,<\/strong>\u201d Nhumwa claimed in the video, accusing the evangelist of diverting offerings meant for ministry work.<\/p>\n However, Muparinga has strongly denied the allegations, insisting\u00a0that the claims\u00a0are malicious and motivated by jealousy.<\/p>\n According to Muparinga, the accusations stem from a dispute after he reportedly received financial support from controversial businessman\u00a0Sir Wicknell Chivayo<\/strong>, a benefactor known for donating vehicles and cash to church leaders, musicians\u00a0and\u00a0social media personalities.<\/p>\n Muparinga said Nhumwa became hostile after demanding a share of the money\u00a0he received from Chivayo.<\/p>\n The flamboyant evangelist has built a strong following on the streets and on social media through a distinctive preaching style that mixes comedy, satire\u00a0and\u00a0gospel messages.\u00a0His performances often resemble stand-up comedy\u00a0sessions, using everyday township language, jokes\u00a0and\u00a0exaggerated storytelling to draw crowds before delivering religious messages.<\/p>\n Critics, however, say the theatrical approach has blurred the line between ministry and entertainment, with some questioning the growing\u00a0culture of\u00a0spectacle-driven preaching among younger Pentecostal evangelists.<\/p>\n Police sources confirmed that\u00a0a report had been filed, although no arrests had\u00a0been made\u00a0by the time of publication.<\/p>\n The public feud has ignited debate on social media about accountability among charismatic preachers and the growing influence of wealthy benefactors in Zimbabwe\u2019s Pentecostal churches.<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n \nRelated<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
