According to sources familiar with the situation, an AFM pastor in Chinhoyi allegedly ended his relationship with his girlfriend on February 14. Insiders claim the breakup came unexpectedly and left the woman deeply upset.
What began as a personal disagreement soon escalated into a public digital confrontation.
Private Moments Shared Publicly
In what many are describing as an emotional reaction, the woman allegedly shared a video of the two together in a romantic setting inside a church WhatsApp group. The group is reportedly administered by the pastor’s wife and includes church members.
The video, which has since been removed, quickly sparked heated discussion among congregants before administrators intervened.
Social Media and Relationship Risks
The incident has reignited conversations about privacy, boundaries, and the risks of sharing personal content in relationships. Experts often warn that private videos and photos can become sources of conflict if relationships turn sour.
Community members in Chinhoyi have expressed mixed reactions. While some sympathize with the emotional pain involved, others have stressed the importance of handling personal disputes privately rather than involving wider groups.
Church Yet to Issue Official Statement
As of now, there has been no formal statement from church leadership regarding the matter. However, sources indicate that internal discussions may be taking place to address the situation.
A Lesson in Digital Responsibility
This incident serves as a reminder of how quickly personal issues can become public in the digital age. Once content is shared online — even in private groups — it can spread rapidly and have lasting consequences.
Observers say the situation highlights the importance of maturity, communication, and caution when it comes to recording and sharing intimate moments.
