The prominent founder of World Harvest Ministries, Frederick Shumba, is embroiled in a sensational divorce saga after his 32-year marriage with his wife, Consilia Shumba, crumbled amid salacious accusations of adultery and contentious asset distribution.

Consilia Shumba initiated the divorce proceedings at the High Court, alleging that their decades-long union had irreparably disintegrated, a claim upheld by Justice Fatima Maxwell, who granted her a divorce decree.

Among the detailed accusations contained in the court documents, Consilia levied charges of repeated adultery against Frederick Shumba, further asserting that he routinely publicly maligned her, alleging promiscuity. Shockingly, she disclosed his accusations of her attempting to murder him on three separate occasions, unraveling a web of highly dramatic and tumultuous relationship dynamics.

The divorce summons, filed under the auspices of the Marriage Act, revealed a litany of grievances, including accusations of desertion, cruelty, and infidelity on the part of Frederick Shumba. Consilia maintained that Shumba engaged in extramarital affairs with multiple women while simultaneously accusing her of abandonment and professing a unilateral termination of their marriage.

Amidst the fracturing of their union, a contentious battle over asset distribution has emerged, with Consilia challenging Shumba's unilateral actions aimed at excluding her from their shared assets, citing the creation of a trust without her consent. Notably, she advocated for equitable access to matrimonial assets and requested sole ownership of their home in Norton, as well as property in Norton and Gweru, further emphasizing the significant contributions she made to their joint wealth accumulation.

In response, Frederick Shumba vehemently contended that the assets in question were the property of the church and vehemently opposed distribution. Notably, he underscored the categorization of the six-hectare agricultural plot in Norton as state land, asserting its immunity from distribution.

Nevertheless, the legal proceedings culminated in a ruling by Justice Maxwell, conceding to Consilia a stand in Norton as her exclusive property, while awarding Frederick Shumba a commercial stand in Kariba.

The tumultuous unraveling of the Shumbas' three-decade marriage has laid bare a deeply contentious and acrimonious schism, presenting a disheartening spectacle for observers and followers of World Harvest Ministries. Amid the potentially far-reaching implications, the public unveiling of the couple's private tribulations underscores the complex interplay of personal and professional dynamics, raising questions about the impact of such revelations on Frederick Shumba's ministerial and public standing.
