HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) - Zimbabwean Roman Catholic Archbishop Pius Ncube was named in an adultery case Monday in what his lawyer called an "orchestrated attempt" to embarrass the outspoken government critic.
Ncube was in his office at St. Mary's Cathedral in Bulawayo when court officials accompanied by a state television crew delivered documents alleging he was involved in a two-year affair with a secretary whose husband was demanding damages in a civil suit, said attorney Nick Matonzi.
Matonzi said Ncube would deny the allegations in civil court when it convenes at an unspecified date. The archbishop declined to answer questions about his private life in a television interview, but spoke of the importance of forgiveness.
