The once private turmoil between popular preacher Evidence Chari and his ex-wife, Pastor Anesu Mwarianesu, has erupted into a fierce and public battle, captivating Zimbabwe’s social media landscape with shocking accusations and bitter recriminations.
The drama ignited when Anesu posted a cryptic message on Facebook declaring, “abusers must fall,” a statement that many interpreted as a pointed attack on her estranged husband. Although the post was quickly deleted, it set off a firestorm. Evidence Chari retaliated with a scathing response, accusing Anesu’s sister of attempting to seduce him, a claim that sent shockwaves through their followers and intensified the feud.
Chari did not stop there. He alleged that his ex-wife was being paid to spread “evil” and damaging lies about him, suggesting a coordinated effort to tarnish his reputation. The preacher’s explosive counterclaims have turned what was already a painful divorce into a full-blown online war, with both sides trading barbs and airing their grievances in the public eye.
This bitter showdown follows a long and tumultuous separation. The couple, who once led the Grace Family International Church together, have been apart for over a year, with divorce proceedings underway. Anesu publicly confirmed the split in an emotional social media post, citing the decision as necessary for her well-being and that of their three children.
The fallout has been messy and deeply personal. Earlier reports revealed leaked messages and allegations of infidelity and manipulation involving not only the couple but also other prominent figures in Zimbabwe’s religious circles. These revelations have only added fuel to the fire, exposing cracks in what many saw as a spiritual partnership.
In a rare moment of vulnerability, Evidence Chari once issued a public apology to Anesu, taking responsibility for the breakdown of their marriage and expressing regret for the pain caused. Yet, the current acrimony suggests that reconciliation is far from reach.
As the bitter saga unfolds, followers and observers are left watching a dramatic clash that exposes the darker side of fame, faith, and fractured relationships.
