A marriage that many believed was built on faith and commitment has come to a dramatic end after a Kabale pastor allegedly discovered his wife in a lodge room with another man in an incident that has sparked widespread discussion within the local community.
Pastor George Nafayo of Reformers Church has confirmed that he has officially separated from his wife, Evidence Orishaba, 37, following an incident that reportedly occurred on June 25, 2026, at Vision Jointex Bar and Lodge along the Kabale–Ntungamo Highway in Rukiga District.
According to Pastor Nafayo, the discovery shattered the trust in their marriage and left him with no choice but to end the relationship. He said the matter was immediately reported to police before local authorities stepped in to try and resolve the dispute through mediation.
Sources familiar with the matter said the mediation was conducted behind closed doors in an effort to save the marriage and prevent the conflict from escalating publicly. However, despite the efforts of community leaders and other parties involved, the reconciliation talks reportedly ended without an agreement.
During the discussions, Orishaba reportedly admitted that she had been at the lodge on the day in question. However, the mediation failed to restore confidence between the couple, leading Pastor Nafayo to formally announce the end of their marriage.
Local leaders who participated in the reconciliation efforts revealed that the couple had allegedly experienced several domestic disagreements even before the latest incident, suggesting that tensions within the marriage had been building over time.
The separation has generated mixed reactions among residents, with some expressing sympathy for the pastor while others urged the public to avoid rushing to conclusions and instead respect the privacy of those involved.
Community members have also emphasized the importance of resolving family conflicts through dialogue before they reach a breaking point, noting that trust and communication remain the foundation of any successful marriage.
As news of the separation continues to spread, the incident has become one of the most talked-about topics in the area, highlighting the emotional challenges that can arise even in families regarded as strong pillars within their communities.
Neither police nor local authorities have released further details beyond confirming that the matter was reported and later subjected to mediation. With reconciliation efforts unsuccessful, the couple is now expected to move forward separately as the marriage officially comes to an end.
