HARARE – Gospel prodigy, Mathias Mhere left people, who attended his 27th birthday celebrations at Kingstons House on Sunday, shocked after he apparently snubbed his wife, Susan Dzinamarira.
She was relegated to be part of the crowd.
Mhere invited a married woman, identified as Mai Manyere- believed to be a church mate- for his cake cutting while his wife, Susan, remained seated in the crowd.
Interestingly, Mai Manyere’s husband was also part of the crowd and the director of ceremony told him (husband)- in jest- that it was only for cake cutting.
“This is only for cake cutting, vaManyere; don’t worry, nothing will happen after,” said the director of ceremony.
As if that was not enough, Mai Manyere went on to ‘feed’ the cake to Mathias using her hands, an obligation usually preserved to one’s better half.
Mai Manyere went on to serve the cake to the crowd and Susan initially resisted to take the cake when she as served.
She took only a small piece after Mai Manyere insisted while two other women who accompanied her refused to eat the cake.
The ‘Favour’ singer also failed to mention his wife when he made introductions of ‘special’ people.
Mhere only recognised the presence of his mother, his brother along with his wife, producer Lyton Ngolomi and businessmen Killer Zivhu ad Chamu Chiwanza.
He referred to them as pillars of strength who have helped him blossom in his musical career.
Ordinarily, Susan should have been in charge of proceedings but she arrived alone and a well-wisher had to help her up the wet stairs to the venue.
There was no seat reserved for her in the so called VIP section and the ushers did not give her priority.
Mhere turned up later on his own and this sparked speculation that their reconciliation might have hit turbulent waters.
The Mhere marriage was rocked when the popular singer discovered that she was playing games with his best friend, Gift Mahlupeka. H Metro
