Zim Prominent Pastor Dies In Suspected Suicide After Falling From 4th Floor

A top Harare pastor and author, Bishop Berry Dambaza is suspected to have committed suicide after he fell to his death from a fourth-floor car parkĀ at Rezende Mall in central Harare prompting onlookers to call the police.

He was a senior pastor with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Zimbabwe (PAOZ) Upper Room Ministries which is housed in the same building.

A police officer told ZimLive that some messages from his phone point to a troubled marriage. Said the officer:

ā€œWe have determined from some messages on the phone that his marriage was troubled.ā€

In a statement on microblogging site Twitter, the Zimbabwe Republic Police said:

ā€œPolice are investigating a case which occurred at Rezende Parkade, Harare this afternoon at around 1230 hours where a 59-year-old man allegedly jumped from the last floor and died. Police are yet to get the motive behind the suspected suicide.ā€

Pastor Dambaza published two books, ā€˜How To Become a Vessel That God Can Use’ and ā€˜How To Receive And Release The Anointing.’

He had been with Upper Room Ministries since 1996 after leaving Rivers of Life Ministries in Harare where he was a pastor.

In 2005, Dambaza graduated from the Pentecostal Bible College (now known as Pan African Christian College) with a ministerial diploma and later obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Bible Theology.

He was married to Sithembeni, and they had four children, two sons and two daughters.
