Apostle Gumbura targets 20 wives

The founder and leader of RMG End Time Message says he plans to increase his church membership by having many wives and children to counter the many couples who are withdrawing from his church in protest against his polygamous doctrine. 

In a wide ranging interview, polygamous apostle Robert Martin Gumbura said he has decided to have many wives and children who support his doctrine.

Gumbura said that following his polygamy doctrine, he faced a major exodus from his congregation while he was based in Gweru. He was left with less than 50 people and he had five wives at that time.

This week he paraded his NINE WIVES saying he has no reason to cheat with married women when he has many wives to quench his sexual appetite. Gumbura claims that he takes a lot of fruits and good meals to gain power to sexually satisfy his many wives in bed.

He is now spreading the word of God through his sexual power and is targeting 20 wives and many children to achieve his goal.

“These are my nine wives and 28 children with me today and I am targeting 20 wives who will bear me many children. It is better to teach my children and wives my doctrines rather than struggling with couples who are against it.

“Men are not being honest enough with their spouses. Many are not able to have one wife without cheating or having a hidden small house. As I read the Bible I discovered that Old Testament leaders had many wives who became their followers and that is the route I am taking.

“Many followers deserted me after I preached about polygamy in October 2000 and I was left with less than 50 people. As my wives bear many children, I will have many followers to my ministry since many are leaving me because of that truth I am preaching.

“I paraded my wives to all my church branches and from there I am losing membership as women go against it even though their husbands understood the bible verses. I am not after married women; all these (9 wives) are here for me and I built houses for them in different towns and they are not suffering.

“All my children are with me here and I have sisters’ and brothers’ cottages where I accommodate church members. I am openly teaching about polygamy in my church and I encourage them to follow that doctrine and as we speak I have six leaders under me who are polygamous,” said Gumbura.

Gumbura said that biblical Apostle Paul’s teaching found in the book of Timothy instructing leaders to be men of one wife was meant for that particular church and he (Paul) had no wife.

On HIV and AIDS, Gumbura said his wives were faithful and the danger will only be brought by him, if he was to cheat.

“That teaching was from a single man to a particular church but as you read through the bible many renowned leaders had many wives and I am one such leader,” said Gumbura.

“My wives are very faithful and protected that I trust them; if AIDS is to be found among us, I will be the one to blame and I am not a cheater. I eat fruits and good meals to boost my immune system to have power to have sex with my many wives to their satisfaction.

“If there is any one of them who is not being satisfied I can go out so that she can be open to speak to you over that. If the claims raised in 2000 about me impregnating 40 percent of married women were true how come no one is claiming maintenance from me?

“The allegations are being brought by people who left my ministry and they are part of those leaving the church and want to see me falling. I am not going to retaliate because I am above the situation,” said Gumbura. H Metro
