Pastor Zagabe Chiluza, a man from the eastern Congo, left tongues wagging after marrying for wives.
The polygamous pastor married the four women, all virgins, in a colourful wedding ceremony a year ago. According to AfriMax English, the man of the cloth always shares scriptures from the Holy Book to prove polygamy isn’t a sin.
“I have one wife already and today I’m going to marry these four. They will join the first wife,” he said on his wedding day.
He claimed the idea of marrying more wives originated from the Bible. “Jacob had many wives Leah and Rachel, then Bilha and Zilpa…four wives for one man,” he said. Zagabe said he got saved in 1986, and during the wedding, while addressing the guests, he said; “I’m glad to have five wives.”
Some members of Zagabe’s church echoed his sentiments that polygamy is accepted in the Bible.
AfriMax visited the man of God a year after sharing Zagabe’s wedding and his wives at their home, and they were happily married.
