A Former Deputy Minister of Finance and Economic Development of Zimbabwe, Terence Mukupe, has
sensationally accused Shepherd Bushiri of having an adulterous affair with his musician
wife, Rachel J.
Mukupe accused Bushiri of being a fake prophet, and running a fake church, after he came across
what he says, is WhatsApp evidence of his wife and the prophet, arranging to meet for
sex romps in Malawi, Pretoria, and Rustenburg.
“I’m coming after you,” Mukupe said in a Facebook post aimed at Bushiri.
“I want the 100,000 rand, that we seeded to your fake church back, false prophet!
“I want you Bushiri to deny that you met her three times in Lilongwe, Pretoria, and
your Rustenburg place with my blessing; me buying the plane tickets, and you offering
to go into business with us and Honourable Chihana from Malawi in tow.
Deny it and we will see who serves a true God.”
Mukupe posted several screen shots of his wife’s phone, showing her talking to someone
whose name is saved as ‘Major 1’, Bushiri’s nickname.
The messages show Rachel J, who is now pregnant, chatting with Major 1, who tells her he has
“landed”, and it is presumed in Malawi, sometime in June 2018.
Major 1 then invites her for a warm bath, after she sent him her picture, to which she
replies: “Not a chance”.
Unrelenting, the man identified as Bushiri, invites Rachel J to come to Malawi, where
he says he will remain until Friday.
When she replies ‘you’re tempting me’, Major 1 asked, “you don’t wanna come,
ur busy?”
Major 1 then posts a picture of Bushiri on a lakeside deck.
Rachel J then tells Major 1 that, “will be seeing you on Wednesday”.
On 29 June 2018, Rachel J sent a message to the man, Mukupe says is Bushiri, stating:
“On board… see you soon”.
The two are believed to have met for sex trysts, in the lakeside district of Mangochi.
A news report on a Malawian website, Nyasa Times, bearing the date stamp of 30 June 2018,
stated that “Bushiri’s vacation in the beatific lakeshore district of Mangochi, has
been disturbed by flocks of villagers who, after word spread that he is around, trooped
in to pay homage to him”.
Mukupe said he had received abusive messages from Bushiri’s army of loyalists, who call
him ‘Papa’, but said he would not be bullied.
“I’m coming after your fake Papa Prophet Shepherd Bushiri,” Mukupe posted on Wednesday.
“I have material for days.
This is my last post, see you in Pretoria court.”
These are the words of Shepherd Bushiri, posted on Facebook, in reply to the accusation of
Terence Mukupe.
It is not in my nature to respond to allegations levelled against me.
However, it has come to my attention that Terence Mukupe, a disgraced former deputy
minister in Zimbabwe, has made false allegations that I am responsible for his wife’s pregnancy.
The basis of his allegations are screenshots of chats and messages purportedly between
me and his wife.
For the purposes of clarity.
I am not on WhatsApp.
Neither am I on iMessenger.
This has been the case since late 2017.
Those with access to me will know this.
Those who do not, please stand guided, I AM NOT ON WHATSAPP or iMESSENGER.
I have not been for 3 years.
Secondly, I have not traveled out of South Africa in the last 13 months, and therefore
have not met this man’s wife in Malawi as he believes.
This ought to be public knowledge.
Thirdly, the contact number in his pictures is NOT mine, and has never been mine.
Therefore whoever was speaking with this man’s wife isn’t me.
Given all this, it is therefore impractical and impossible, for his allegations to be
materially true.
Sadly this guy’s lies are part of a pattern of libel and slander, that has been directed
at me for over a decade.
The bible teaches us to forgive and ignore, but there also comes a time, when those that
make defamatory and highly damaging allegations about others must face the music of their
choice.
I have consequently engaged my lawyers in Zimbabwe, to urgently seek legal recourse.
As you may know, since 2019, I have been suing every newspaper that carries fake stories
about me.
This is on record.
I have been suing and winning, and media house after media house has been apologising and
paying damages for their lies.
It is a strategy that has become policy.
I therefore call on Terence Mukupe to respect his wife, his marriage, and his children.
For him to tell the whole world, that his wife was impregnated by another man, paints
him in bad light, but also opens his wife to all forms of abuse.
A man has a duty and obligation to protect his wife, and Terence must not open her up
to abuse and name calling.
I call on him to respect my family, and everyone else.
These false allegations stay on the internet forever, and will harm many lives.
If they were true it would make sense.
But these are lies.
To sue him, win and take money from him would be unfortunate, as his already doing all this
to me for money.
Sir, fear God, don't be desperate to the level of selling a good name of yourself with cheap
lies like these.
But as I said, if he chooses otherwise, we will have no option but to make yet another
example out of him.
We cannot tolerate and allow slander, libel, and defamation to go unchallenged.
Lastly, I pray that Mukupe makes peace with his wife, and whoever is responsible for her
pregnancy.
God Bless you Zimbabwe.
I love you!
