An Apostolic Faith Mission (AFM) church pastor Isheanesu Muposhi (27), based in Bulawayo’s Emakhandeni suburb was arrested for allegedly raping a congregant (16) after a church service held in the evening in the suburb.
The court heard that the pastor offered the minor a lift after the service held on December 30 and ended up raping her. She lives in the same suburb while the pastor stays at Ross Camp in the city. The incident occurred as the pastor was heading home after the two had agreed that he would first drop the girl off at home.
Muposhi was not asked to plead to rape charges when he appeared in court following his arrest on December 31. Western Commonage magistrate Miss Tancy Dube remanded him in custody to January 13.
