Durban - Earlier this week a video showing well renowned
pastor and popular motivational
speaker in South Africa, Sthembiso Zondo in the nude, went viral on social media.
The recorded video, taken by a woman sitting in front of him, shows the unmarried Pastor Zondo
talking on his phone, while pacing up and down around the lounge in front of a woman sitting on
a couch, the video shows the pastor wearing nothing, using his hand to rub his penis, twice.
Divorced Zondo is the founder and senior pastor of Soul Renaissance Ministries Durban, South
Africa, established in 2001. He also founded Zero-to-Hero, an NGO whose objective is to preach the
gospel of hope.
This is indeed a very sad story seeing that Pastor Zondo influences millions of people and is ranked
as one of the most influential pastors in South Africa. The new rockstars in town are definitely
pastors, they command respect, attention, drive state-of-the art cars, they are always on TV and
radio and wear designer clothes.
One statistic in a book shows that 33% of pastors have crossed the line with a woman not their
spouse but have not been caught. That is an alarming number. More and more pastors are
cheating on God and cheating on their spouses –married and unmarried.
A lot of people commenting on social media about pastor Zondo’s issue didn’t see anything wrong
with his action insisting that the notion of thou shall not “judge the man of God”, while some are
asking him to step away from being a pastor and speaker because he has broken ranks from his
godly office. Taking from the scene and mood of the 37 seconds video it looks like the woman is
his sexual partner. Even if she’s not (highly unlikely), the question remains, why was he
parading himself naked in front of a woman? So why do male pastors cheat on their wives or
fornicate though unmarried? Some have many girlfriends with no shame. Though a lot is
expected of a deacon, elder, or pastor, “it seems that cheating has become the new normal, the
new cool perhaps”
The truth is that most pastors are ordinary feeble men and are prone to like every man to be
vulnerable to sexual attraction. There is no difference between pastors and other ordinary
men. Pastors commit sexual sin for the same reason people who are not pastors do. What is
that? Well, it consist of different reasons ranging from the abuse of influence to temptations,
vulnerable needs and weaknesses.
Pastors engage in sexual sins because we allow them. We keep quiet when we find out that a
pastor is cheating on his wife or in sexual association with another woman though he’s
unmarried. We misuse phrases from the bible like “who are you to judge”, “touch not the Lord’s
anointed” and “him who is without sin cast the first stone”. What rubbish!
Some women are the reason why pastors cheat and have sexual encounters. They devalue
themselves and offer their vagina to these fraudulent men of God, thinking it would increase
God’s blessings in their lives and upgrade their social and spiritual status. That’s a lie from hell.
Women selling themselves cheap encourage pastors to satisfy their lustful pleasure with
whoever, whenever. I know so many single pastors who are dating multiple women, some are
aware of it and still hang around them. Run baby!
Also, sometimes married pastors are bored with their wives and vulnerable to “something
different.” But some cheaters have great wives and are not bored. So, this is no answer. Some
single pastors just don’t want to commit to their girlfriends or one woman. They ride on the
attention and influence they have over vulnerable women in the church
Certain pastors think they are stronger than they are. But they are not – we all are not. Don’t
believe your hype, your office as a pastor does not make you immune to temptations and sin. I
have heard of a Congolese pastor based in Johannesburg pastoring a mega church in
Midrand who uses every opportunity to lure young women into satisfying his sexual passions. He
still prides himself as a miracle maker. We all need help. We need a community of faith,
mentors, friends, family and a net to fall into.
Furthermore, pastors feel they are in love with the sexual partner and justify it as “what I’ve been
searching for all my life.” But they are just as likely to know going in that this is temporary,
shallow, one-dimensional, and its trouble, yet they still do it. This is no answer.
Bottom line is pastors cheat and engage in fornication because just like us, we are all sinners
in need of grace daily. They allow their relationship with God to get to a broken state. They get weak and don’t reach out for help. I stayed away from sex before marriage for 15
years, before then I was promiscuous. And now that I am married, I’ve made a decision to rather
die than cheat on my wife. How about you? Only God can help us, but it’s possible!
Fornication and sex destroys us inside-out, don’t fool around.
So if you are Pastor Zondo, what would you say to your congregation this Sunday? The devil made me do it? Pastors are sinners too. Pray for your pastor.
