The Zimbabwe Mail newspaper is facing a lawsuit from Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries leader Prophet Magaya over a story claiming that he had paid $150,000 to a Denford Matashu who was suing him for adultery.
Magaya's lawyer Advocate Thabani Mpofu wrote to the The Zimbabwe Mail seeking retraction and he gave them till Tuesday.
The story reportedly suggested that Magaya had agreed on an out-of-court settlement with Mutashu.
Adv Mpofu said the paper in its follow up article had the title "Mutashu speaks out on Magaya sex saga" repeating the inane allegation and quoting unnamed sources.
The adultery saga spilled into the High Court recently after Mutashu filed a $500,000 suit accusing the cleric of having an illicit affair with his wife Nomsa Ruvazhe.
Prophet Magaya denied the allegations before Mutashu decided to withdraw the case last week.
