The burial of the late Upper-Room Ministries preacher, Bishop Berry Dambaza who committed suicide recently, exposed family skeletons by highlighting how suicide has ravaged the family.
The family revealed that several family members had also chosen to take their own lives in the past, including Damabaza’s grandfather, sister and brother.
Local tabloid H-Metro, reports that the late Bishop’s brother and family spokesperson Tonderayi Ian Chimhuwa gave a eulogy in which he said,
For your family, please plead his protection from controversial deaths, the deaths that saw our great grandfather drown in a river.
Your grandfather Dambaza was found hanging as from a slippery and tall gum tree just after independence.
Your sister also perished in that fatal accident in Harare, 200 meters before her destination.
Our brother Victor was found hanging in Chitungwiza.
Your fall from that urban edifice has increased insecurity, rest in peace my brother, father and icon.
Chimhuwa also dismissed claims that Dambaza had committed suicide due to infidelity allegations. Chimhuwa added,
I wish to clarify the issue that has been doing rounds shamelessly on social media and I am glad the lies about maiguru have been cleared, she is our maiguru.

…Maiguru was nursing our mother who passed on the day after our brother died at No. 20 Golden Stairs, not at the office where some of you have been informed.
…Please, inform Him (The Almighty) that in this era, even orphans and widows have become prey to social media and shameless brethren who peddle falsehoods.
A church member had previously blamed evil spirits for the Bishop’s suicide.
