Pastor Collapses and Dies During Sermon
Tragedy struck the United Methodist Church (UMC) on Tuesday night when renowned evangelist Norest Nyakudanga collapsed and died while delivering a sermon in Highlands, Harare.
The 65-year-old preacher from St. Peters Chitungwiza was the guest speaker at the End of Year Revival gathering at the Chisipite UMC assembly, which was also livestreamed on Facebook.
Eyewitnesses reported that Nyakudanga appeared energetic and joyful before the sermon, showing no signs of illness. A church member noted that he even danced and sang with the congregation before speaking.
During his heartfelt message, he encouraged the congregation to focus on positive messages and warned against divisive narratives.
However, he suddenly collapsed at the pulpit, and despite the efforts of nurses in the audience, they were unable to revive him.
Chitungwiza-Marondera UMC chairman Rangarirai Nyahodza expressed sorrow over the loss of a dedicated leader, praising Nyakudanga’s commitment to the gospel and his mentorship in the church community.
Nyahodza revealed that Nyakudanga had been experiencing side pains but chose to continue preaching.
Mourners have gathered at his home in Zengeza 5 Extension, and Evangelist Nyakudanga is set to be laid to rest on Friday at Donzwe Village in Mutoko.
