	Zimbabwe: More Sexual Relationships Exposed By Bulawayo Bureau allAfrica July 18, 2007 http://allafrica.com/stories/200707180354.html Zimbabwe — The alleged affair between the head of the Roman Catholic Church in Bulawayo, Archbishop Pius Ncube, and a married woman, Mrs Rosemary Sibanda, was just the tip of the iceberg. Investigations into the controversial clergyman revealed yesterday that he has had multiple sexual partners. Catholic priests are sworn to an oath of celibacy. It has since been established that Archbishop Ncube turned his official residence at St Mary's Cathedral into a love nest where he enjoyed sexual relations with various women. Today, we give our readers a glimpse into an illicit affair that the clergyman had with a woman who is yet to be identified. The woman could be married judging from the ring on her finger. She is believed to be a long-time girlfriend of the archbishop, as seen from the composure and confidence she exuded while in the archbishop's bedroom. On the day in question, the woman arrived at the archbishop's residence. The archbishop was not in and according to evidence, the woman is captured sitting on the bed perusing some literature. She even searches Archbishop Ncube's drawers for more literature while waiting for her man. She seems impatient and rummages through the literature once again. After a seemingly long wait, the man of the cloth arrives carrying some newspapers from the independent media. He quickly picks up a bottle of Coca-Cola and hands it over to the woman. The woman sips the drink and starts reading the newspapers brought by the archbishop. As the woman enjoys her drink, Archbishop Ncube begins removing bags from the bed. At this juncture, he orders the woman out of the room and continues clearing his bed. The woman returns wearing just underwear. The woman, who has a tattoo that is H-shaped, stands next to the bed as she picks up a newspaper and reads. Archbishop Ncube then comes back into the bedroom, grabs the newspaper, throws it away and then goes onto the bed. As the woman rests on the bed, Archbishop Ncube removes his collar and throws it into one of his drawers. He then proceeds to prepare the bed and places a wrapping towel across the bed. The archbishop then proceeds to undress but briefly disappears from the room. By that time the woman has already jumped into bed. After having their nice time, the two leave the room to refresh themselves and the first to return is the woman. She heads for the bed where she lies and begins fanning herself with a newspaper. When the archbishop reappears, the two get out of the bedroom and head to a destination only known to them. After some time, they return to the bedroom and the woman is the first to go into the blankets and the archbishop follows. In the morning they wake up and the woman starts cleaning the room. The man of the cloth returns and this time is carrying a wad of notes, which he counts and then hands over to the woman. Archbishop Ncube exits the room once again, leaving the woman behind. The woman begins to go through the archbishop's drawers and takes something that looks like jewellery and safely tucks it in her brassiere. The two leave the archbishop's house. Meanwhile, everything was at a standstill yesterday at St Mary's Cathedral with all the offices closed. "No one is being allowed into the offices as there is no one to attend to the people. As you can see, even the entrance to the bishop's house itself is closed," said a worker at the cathedral. Some women who had gone to seek assistance from the cathedral also returned home empty-handed. The vehicles parked at the cathedral were the only evidence that the priests and nuns were present but they were behind closed doors as they tried to come to grips with what had transpired to Archbishop Ncube following revelations of his sex scam. Journalists yesterday had a face-to-face interview with the man who has spectacularly exposed the clergyman. Mr Ernest Tekere, an unassuming man, is the managing director of Home Guard Security Services, a private investigations company. He described Archbishop Ncube as "a serial womaniser". The heavily-built Mr Tekere said he was hired by Mr Onesimus Sibanda to investigate the movements of his wife Rosemary after he suspected that she was having an extra-marital affair. "I was surprised when I was briefed by my client on the mission that I was about to undertake. I have done several jobs of this nature but what shocked me were the people involved, specifically the man himself," he said. "That man is a terrible womaniser. During the operation we saw several ladies coming to his room -- women of all ages. There were old ladies, nuns and some young ones," said Mr Tekere. "He is not doing his job of sowing the holy seed but womanising. The number of women who visited his house during our investigations were too many." Asked on the specific ages, Mr Tekere said: "They would come in all sizes and ages. Some were above 50, some were around 25 and even 18-year-olds he takes. But one observation that I made was that all the women were members of his congregation." Asked on the nature of the operation, Mr Tekere said: "This kind of job is normally quite difficult at the initial stages. All you will be looking for is the evidence, but how do you get it without any contacts? But with proper surveillance you get to establish your contacts and when this is done, everything then falls into place as was the case with Archbishop Ncube." Mr Tekere said he had carried out several assignments of this kind. "I have done a number of operations of this nature. At times you have people divorcing and needing evidence. We get that done for them. In other instances, it could be a girlfriend wanting to know about the movements of the boyfriend. We do all this," he said. Mr Tekere worked for the Zimbabwe Republic Police in the Criminal Investigation Department before he established his private firm. He retired after 20 years of service.
