Rosemary Sibanda, who was at the centre of an adultery storm with former Bulawayo Archbishop Pius Ncube, has died in a Zimbabwe hospital reportedly of pneumonia. New Zimbabwe reports Mrs Sibanda died at Bulawayo’s Mpilo General Hospital on Friday.
Archbishop Ncube, the former head of the Bulawayo diocese of the Roman Catholic Church and a vocal critic of President Robert Mugabe's government admitted to the adulterous affair with Sibanda shortly before he was reassigned to the Vatican.
Hospital authorities, also speaking on condition of anonymity, told New Zimbabwe she had been admitted on April 30 and suffered from pneumonia.
Ncube is believed to have been informed.
The prominent cleric was caught in a newspaper sting, believed to have been funded by government agents, after he was captured on secret camera planted in his bedroom having sex with Sibanda and up to nine other women.
Zimbabwe's state media which sparked the adultery furore has printed claims by Onesimus Sibanda that his ex-wife infected him with HIV, which she allegedly contracted from Archbishop Ncube.
