Rachel J Responds to Allegations of Infidelity with Prophet Bushiri by Former Zimbabwean Finance Min

Publish date: 2024-05-19

Zimbabwean artist, Rachel Jambaya, commonly known as Rachel J, has fired back at her “estranged” spouse, former Zimbabwean Deputy Minister of Finance, Terence Mukupe, over allegations of an affair and pregnancy with popular South Africa-based Malawian Pastor, Prophet Shepherd Bushiri. 

Previously, LIB reported that Terrence accused the General Overseer of the Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) church of being a “fake prophet” and running a “fake church” after he came across apparent WhatsApp evidence of his wife and the preacher arranging to meet for sexual escapades in Malawi, Pretoria, and Rustenburg.

In response to the allegations, Rachel J released a statement through her family on Tuesday, March 3, denying any formal marriage to Terrence Mukupe. She maintained they were only cohabiting and highlighted that she rescued him from bankruptcy. 

The singer, who recently had a baby, declared her readiness to undergo DNA tests to prove the paternity of her baby as Mukupe’s. She also accused the former Zanu PF MP for Harare East of infidelity, claiming he fathered at least four children with other women during their relationship.

The full statement reads; 

The Rachel J family is addressing the circulating accusations made by Terence Mukupe on social media.

Our daughter and sister wanted to give birth in peace and Rachel J, being private, avoided the social media uproar despite dealing with emotional trauma after being attacked by Terence Mukupe at her place of residence, leading her to seek a protection order against him.

These are malicious and defamatory statements. Terence Mukupe relies on false attacks to maintain relevance.

These allegations are unsubstantiated and are a malicious attack on Rachel J and our family by a disgruntled individual who vowed to do anything, including fabricating material, to destroy Rachel J. Terence Mukupe should realize that he has fathered 10 children and stop humiliating others.

Rachel J was never married to Terence Mukupe, formally or customarily. As a family, we have never met him. He should not confuse dating with marriage. We are appalled by the treatment she received from this man. Rachel J has always been a serial entrepreneur, and she welcomed the idea to work with him and helped build a business empire.

We feel great distress considering the resources poured into Terence Mukupe by Rachel J. He has been unable to clear debts, and Rachel has been assisting his family, even paying for their living arrangement. It’s unbelievable that Rachel J could have been impregnated by Prophet Bushiri based on evidence stating they met in 2018.

We await Terence Mukupe’s DNA test. His claims and accusations are false. We pray that God guides him in the right path and hope that this issue is addressed. Rachel J has shown love and commitment to him, and it is hurtful to see her facing such unwarranted attacks.
