One @Olugbenga Olajide wrote; Here is a message from PAOZ spokesman Reverend Craig Ndoro denying that Bishop Dambaza took his life after walking in on his wife, Sithembeni, with another man in an office:

“Those rumours are entirely and wholly untrue. They are malicious and extremely regrettable,”

“Yesterday, when this tragic incident happened involving the bishop, his wife was actually at home nursing the bishop’s mother, and we have just received terrible news that she has also died.”

“In short, Bishop Dambaza’s wife of over 30 years was not cheating on him, and no, he did not find her in a compromising position in the office.

“We’re not sure who has been generating these rumours and spreading them. They are very hurtful not just to the family but the church as well.

“Bishop Dambaza touched many lives in Zimbabwe and internationally, perhaps that’s why we have rumours flying quicker than facts. But those that know him, his wife and children know that no such issues are true, and that gives us a bit of comfort.”

The late “man of God” was married to Sithembeni Dambaza an assistant pastor at the church and had two daughters.

Dambaza graduated in 1984 from the Pentecostal Bible College now known as Pan African Christian College (PACC) in Harare.
