"Dear abuser
Hope I find you well, but the pains of your violence has called for a speak out ,but when you think of the days how do u feel....hanzi murume chaiye harove but what do u have to say “Let's Speaks out and talk about it really......” so wrote Munyalee Mavura on her Facebook wall on January 10.
In other post she said she was over her bitterness but needed to talk her pain out. Then came the reveal:
Former wife of Prosper Ngomashi, a.k.a Comic Pastor, Munyalee Mavura, has accused the comedian of violence and abuse.
Munyalee, who posted the allegations on Facebook, sets out a litany of allegations that said Comic Pastor's family was also party to her abuse:
"I was pregnant, actually they called me a witch “I was pushed into the car and drove to my parents house and made noise and screemed and I had told my parents on phone not to come out because the ngomashi they wanted to cause a scene,people came from their houses to watch and wen they saw that people may come towards them then Phillip the brother and prosper (comic pastor) pulled me from the car side by side and until I was dizzy and pulled me down from.phillips side until I fell with my knees as a pregnant woman I was weak,to cut the story short days later I started bleeding and I miscarried and it was due to bittings(kurohwa)I lost our unborn innocent baby, I remember he never showed up for his unborn baby at list to show concern of the child not me”
Ngomashi is now married to Noddy Zizhou while Munyalee appears to have moved on and has a young son. Munyalee is a travel consultant.
“Walk away from an abusive marriage, it's never too late to try something else. I have picked up the pieces, returned to school and started travelling, finding new love and building a travel business. I am piecing my life puzzle back together one day at a time until it's finished.
“A girl or a woman has to start somewhere after these traumas, don’t suffer at the hands of your abusers.
“He would call his girlfriends in my presence and at one time I was beaten after I opened a WhatsApp message he had received from some lady written, I miss you,” she said.
Responding to naysayers who accused her of being a bitter ex and asked why she took so long, Mavura says she has only spoken out six years after the trauma because healing is a process.
“The process is difficult to forget and it's something one has to live with. It might seem simple to some, but these wounds don't heal by keeping quiet, we heal through speaking out and I advise women to speak out and not die in a shell.
“I wanted to speak out right away but it was hard and difficult, I was suffering from myself, I had grown to love pregnancy and I was looking forward to being a mother and losing it was a difficult time for me.
"To make matters worse, another time, just months after miscarriage, he invited me to a children’s programme he was hosting and he told me that I could attend the programme since I loved children.
“He poured flames on me. He reactivated my pains though he didn't bother about it. The abuse I suffered was traumatising and it killed the Munya that I knew back then," she added.
Mavura said women should not stay in such abusive marriages to please their family or relatives.
Munyalee said that a popular photographer probably has evidence that would back up her story and invited those who think she is a liar to go to Epworth and interview the people who knew her during her life with Ngomashi.
