Alimpopo pastor has committed suicide after he sent photographs of his manhood to his church Whatsapp Group. The pastor, identified as Letsego of Christ Embassy, thought he was sending the photographs to his lover, who happens to be a member of the same church.

To make matters worse, he even went on to caption it “wife is away, it’s all yours tonight”, Breaking Times posted on its website Thursday.

He then realised his mistake after having hit the send button with congregants expressing shock and outrage over the mishap.

The pastor is alleged to have immediately exited the group and stopped answering his calls. He was found 24 hours later hanging in his rented church house.

A church member who refused to be named said: “Pastor’s antics have always been a cause for concern, he was always seen in the company of one of the deacon(es)s named Miriam and we suspected there was more to their friendship than meets the eye.

“Quizzed by his wife and congregants, he would shrug off the allegations and say as a pastor, he was a father to everyone and Miriam was his favourite daughter,”said one of pastor Lesego’s congregants who refused to be named.

Efforts to get a comment from Christ Embassy Officials were fruitless at the time of going to print.
