Onbeat Mapfumo of By Grace Ministries in Highfields, who was arrested for sexually abusing his congregants in January appeared before Harare Magistrate Hosiah Mujaya facing charges of rape. He was arrested after he had appeared on Tilda Moyo’s show on StarFM.
One of the accusers a married woman and mother of four testified before the court that Mapfumo wanted to cleanse of her of evil spirits using lotion and used his manhood to apply the lotion to her womb.
Excerpts of her evidence read:
The pastor delivered my friend, who was HIV-positive and after he prayed for her she tested negative.
He also helped one of the church members to secure a job through his prayers, while she did not have any qualification.
That persuaded me to fall for his call to pray for me because I thought he was going to offer deliverance.
He told me to lie down, applied the lotion on my privates and inserted his manhood intending to use it to apply the lotion in my womb
The trial will continue at a letter date.
