MADZIBABA Gideon has denied claims by his ex-wife that their daughter was buried the same day she died last year.

Madzibaba Gideon, whose real name is Sibiniyo Chikurunhe, told H-Metro that his ex-wife, Memory Munanairi (49), was just a bitter woman.

He said that their daughter died due to food poisoning and was buried in a proper manner.

He accused Memory of trying to tarnish his reputation and that of their church by making false accusation­s.

He said they should have resolved their dispute in court instead of involving the media.

Madzibaba Gideon’s comments came after Memory’s claims went viral on social media, causing a public outcry.

“Memory decided to pack her belongings sometime in April last year soon after the burial of one of our children,” said Madzibaba Gideon.

“We had a misunderst­anding following the death of three family members, who included our child, in a case of suspected food poisoning.

“I accused her of causing the death and she packed her belongings and left.

“She tried in vain to make a police report against me on false accusation­s. After all her attempts failed, she decided to engage the media and made them believe her lies.”

He added:

“She went on to attack our church because her attempts to fight me hit a brick wall. Church yaMadzibab­a Ishmael yapinda papi panyaya dzangu naye?

“We have courts to settle our disputes instead of making false allegation­s against the church and my person without facts.

“Our child died last year at the age of 26, but Memory spoke as if it happened a few weeks ago in a radio interview, and was begging for help.”
