Pastors wife wife Church Drama, You will be shocked by what she did

The Family of Christ International Church congregants and their pastor are reportedly worshipping in fear as their leader’s estranged wife is in the habit of pouncing unexpectedly just to disturb services as a way of fixing him.

The man of God, Rodwell Mavumahoko has been humiliated by his wife Beatrice Mupungu Mavumahoko forcing him to seek a protection order against her so he could have peace and regain his dignity.

Pastor Mavumahoko in his affidavit stated that his wife Mupungu who left their matrimonial home in November 2016 had developed a bad habit of coming to his church to disturb services.

“I am applying for a protection order against Beatrice Mupungu Mavumahoko. She should stop her habit of coming to my home and church to disturb services.

“She should stay away from church meetings and disrupting services,” he said.

Mavumahoko also stated that the woman should stop her threats of killing anyone resident at house number 6511 Nkulumane.



“She should not threaten to harm me, relatives, friends, church members and employees,” he said.

The man of cloth also stated that the protection order should stretch to derogatory abusive calls, texts, and threats to hit him, destroying property and burning down of the house.

He further recommended that his wife should only peacefully communicate with him for limited reasons and that she goes for anger management and counselling.

Mavumahoko also displayed that he was living in fear as he suggested that the woman must be prohibited from purchasing firearms.
However, the woman did not attend the court session and the presiding magistrate Tancy Dube granted the protection order in her absence.

Jean Masters (L) and Beverly 'Bev" Sibanda chat as Revai Tinarwo (in red scarf) approaches

Raunchy dancer Beverly 'Bev' Sibanda's penchant for an expensive lifestyle has proved costly after she reportedly got involved in a physical confrontation with her hairdresser, Revai Tinarwo, with the latter demanding her dues for services rendered about seven months ago.

The 'debt collection' incident degenerated into a near fist fight as her manager, Hapaguti Harpers Mapimhidze, came to the defence of Bev after they worked in cahoots to evade paying.

The melee occurred at Streambank Bar in Mbare on Sunday evening, attracting the attention of the bumper crowd that was watching Sulumani Chimbetu performing.

The hairdresser, Tinarwo, from Red Alert saloon located along Mbuya Nehanda Street in the capital, heard that Bev was performing at the joint and decided to trail her.

She confronted Bev, causing Harpers to intervene, threatening to beat up Revai.

Harpers defended his violent actions, arguing that Revai had approached Bev improperly.

"She came to us shouting, and that was wrong.

"I have a lot of money, but I am not going to give her because she approached me in a wrong way.

"She must apologise to me because I am a popular person who cannot be seen involved in such small clashes in public," fumed Harpers.

The almost violent confrontation died down after popular socialite Monica 'Sele' Chikasha intervened.

The Zimbabwe Mail claims that it has it on good authority that Bev opened an account with Revai, the service provider, and accrued a debt of $120 backdated to August 25 last year.

Since then, she has been evasive and avoiding Revai in a bid to avoid owning up.

Revai said she tried all means to recover her money, and was now contemplating legal action.

"They attacked me for claiming my money.

"What I need is my money only and nothing else (sic)," said Revai.

To date , Bev has only paid $20, and has proposed a payment plan.

Bev has previously made headlines, claiming that she was operating a thriving clothing business where she is generating huge profits.

Contrary to her claims, her manager Harpers conceded that they had opened an account with Revai because their finances were not sound.
"We opened an account with Revai at the time we left Prophet Magaya (Walter)'s church because our finances were low.

"Revai has been a good friend and we are surprised why she made a scene, claiming such a small amount of money," said Harpers.

I have stopped submitting my music to power fm 5 years ago, but there is no corner where Dr Clarence Exclusive music is not played, Im am the best when it comes to flooding the streets with Videos and Viral Videos,

I  dont mind not being played by radio DJs who hold 6 months quick, Journalism diplomas, a journalist diploma doesn't qualify you to play and mix music,Talent does, radio is dead, cant compare it to the Bubling Bee, Tinashe Chiname, Dj Scott, Gulaz, radio 3 Days, now radio is full of snobs who are rather followers than trend setters.

Dr Clarence is one of Zims finest Humble talents to inspire other youths into producing, Dr Clarence mentored the likes of DJ Mbale, T Man, DJ Sude, Cure Massive amoung many, also helped the Likes of Dadza D, Shinsoman, Killer T and Guspy Warrior in their grassroots, I am not trying to boast by am challenging all established zim talent to mentor others and not compete with new talent, People where asking me how i feel about terminator calling himself the Dancehall Specialist, and i reply today, He is one of my favourite artist at the moment and ive no problem with him along with Celscious and Kina, these guys will go places, 

Below is a Medly Video of Voice riddim Shot by Dr Clarence, produced by T Man, who deserves at least a nomination at the ZimDancehall Awards


 
 What have i achieved as an artist apart from a few worthless haters, I dont own a benz, i own a 6 roomed house in Kuwadzana, a fleet of Taxis branded Dr Clarence, a residential stand in Manyame park wich i am currently selling to boost my investments, I urge the youths to work with me instead of wanting to compete with me, I am not some school failure, i can go and work in the office anytime, but i like the money um getting now, enough to buy myself haters, My biggest horse has been Stunner, but now he has been trying to prove a point for the past 5 years, 2015 um pulling stunner back into his kraal, ive kept a few friends around whose loyalty um now in doubt of,

2014 saw me reestablishing myself into film,i didnt start now but way back before 2008 when i was the editor for award winning top class soap Estate Blues, working together with Admire Maramba. Video production is too easy for me,thats why i never shoot beyond 5 Shots a video, you are free to count clips in any of my produced videos, Ive never shot a music video in more than 30minutes, if you are in doubt then hire me, I shoot you today,you have your video the same day,I use the smallest camera, canon SX 130 

Sometimes i even shoot with an I Phone, i use my self programed software, wich is a hybrid of Adobe After Effects and Sony HD,

Making beats has become to easy for me so i challenged myself to learn to play every instrument there is in this planet, the Joy of learning new things didnt last long after i taught myself the guitar in one week, all the other instruments that followed became maters of a few minutes, I challenge the media to bring me any instrument and i will play it

When recording Audios i dont use a Studio Condenser mic, Thats why my vocals have clarity, Funny isnt it? 

Dynamic microphones are more robust than condensers. and Dynamic microphones can handle higher sound pressure levels than condenser microphones. especially these Zimmdancehall yelling type of vocals, n my entire carrier i have never used Headphones they close the brain and music loses its aquistic feel.

 

People only buy condensers as a result of the Veblen effect.

and finally I don’t need condensers because my mixing is perfect!

Blood is thicker than water but this is evidently not always in a case where woman is involved. A Lower Gweru man allegedly had an adu****s affair with his elder brother’s wife resulting in the siblings taking each other to the chief’s traditional court for arbitration. 

The incident, which has since set tongues wagging in Lower Gweru, occurred in the Shagari-Mdubiwa area under Chief Mkoba.
Chief Mkoba confirmed the incident.He said the wronged brother, Christopher Moyo, 47, claimed that he had on several occasions been warned by family members to be wary of his brother, Lloyd Moyo, 30.The traditional leader said Christopher told his court of how his wife, Siphathisiwe Netha, 40, and Lloyd engaged in playful games, which are “undignified in nature”.Christopher is said to have defended the two as he trusted them.“He said his wife and younger brother had always been too close for comfort although initially he had never given it much thought as he trusted his brother,” said Chief Mkoba.

SOMETHING fishy is happening at choral music outfit Zimpraise. The group recently started auditions for new members and one wonders where these new members will fit considering that the outfit already has about 115 members.



Zimpraise

The group has even spiced up the auditions by increasing the audition fees, raising questions how exactly the group is being run.

Zimpraise, which is in its fifth annual talent search, charges thousands of potential singers and instrumentalists, registration fees for auditions. The group announced that it was increasing the registration fee from US$2 charged in 2014 to US$3 this year.

The figure sounds ridiculously low but is quite substantial considering the numbers that turn up for the auditions every year for the past five years.

Add to that money they make from commercial gigs, yet they do not even pay the choir members and the saga begins to stink.

For an organisation that claims to be non-profit-making – it boggles the mind where all that money they get goes to, when a lot of talented young girls and boys are left out because they cannot afford to pay.

Therefore, only people from well-to-do families stand a chance, as landing a position in Zimpraise does not even guarantee a stipend, yet one needs transport, food and clothes to attend rehearsals and shows.

This has led pundits to question the rationale behind the registration fee let alone the increase when prices of most commodities and services (fuel and hotel bookings included) are going down in the country.

Charging registration fees for auditions is tantamount to companies asking for a similar fee to potential employees applying for work in their organisations.

The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education last year scrapped secondary school entrance tests after it discovered that some unscrupulous school heads were using the facility for fund-raising.

Thousands of parents lost their hard-earned cash as school children sat for entrance tests when the school(s) could only accommodate a handful of students much fewer than those who would have turned up.

It is no secret that Zimpraise is a glamorous group that most Zimbabweans want to be a part of and in turn the auditions are bound to attract hundreds if not thousands of people. For instance, of the figure that turned up last year, only 40 individuals were admitted to the group.

If top artistes like Oliver Mtukudzi, Alick Macheso, Suluman Chimbetu and Jah Prayzah charged registration fees for individuals that wish to join their groups, they would easily be raking in mega bucks without breaking a sweat on stage.

Imagine how many people would turn up for a Black Spirits or Orchestra Mberikwazvo audition at Pakare Paye or Aquatic Complex respectively?
Conversely, officials from the choir which is not new to controversy are justifying the fee and increase.

“For the reason that these auditions are entirely our responsibility, each participating member will have to pay an administration fee of US$3, which will help us secure the venue (Holiday Inn) as well as other administrative costs that include the interviewing panel, refreshments, etcetera,” argued the choir’s public relations officer, Tendai Zhou.

But one wonders why an outfit that purports to be a non-profit-making organisation would have to hire an expensive venue for auditions when cheaper and viable options are available.

In fact, being a Christian group they have a number of churches at their disposal that they can use free of charge or for a reasonable fee.

Also, they could use their rehearsal venue(s) for auditions just like Mtukudzi, Macheso and Suluman do.

Zimpraise’s actions seem not to support the gospel that the group has been preaching since being established in 2006.

For a group that purports to promote an all-inclusive approach, it is baffling how they intend to achieve this when most Zimbabweans are finding it difficult to spare a dollar on a daily basis.

“Zimpraise has a mandate to spread the gospel of Christ as we reach out to our communities and to nations at large. We have seen it fit that we engage people who are interested in joining us as we go out into schools, rural areas as we ascertain how we can help the less privileged as well as to share the good news of Christ with them,” argues Zhou.

Prominent music promoter Partson “Chipaz” Chimbodza said it was unethical for any music outfit to charge an audition fee for whatever reason.

“It’s immoral and unfair for any group to charge a registration fee for auditions. When an individual approaches a band it means he/she is in search of employment and if that person is good they will add value to a group and in turn increase its fortunes. Potential group members should be tried free of charge even during live shows,” he said.

Last year’s Zimpraise auditions were conducted through WhatsApp voice notes of a one-minute-long voice clip upon paying a registration fee through a mobile money transfer facility.

This year, those in Harare are required to register at their offices while those outside can use the traditional mobile money transfer facility.

Over the years Zimpraise has been involved in a number of controversies.

Founder of the group Joseph Madzivire is alleged to be in the habit of not paying salaries to choir members even for international tours.

The founder has also been accused of being a serial dater of choir members, though he vehemently refutes the allegations.

The selection criterion of touring group members has itself been labelled as “skewed” by disgruntled members of the group.

Two years ago the choir lost one of its key members, Marbel Madondo (sister to the late Jackie Madondo), who left the group with other members and formed a new outfit, Thousand Voices, amid claims of dissatisfaction. SundayMail
