THIS IS SAD! Pastor Disappears After Impregnating 19-Year Orphan
A Pastor in Binga District in Zimbabwe who was deployed after
completing Bible school is on the run after he allegedly impregnated a
19-year-old teen adopted daughter.
The Chronicle
reports that the 29-year-old popularly known as Pastor Mushayavanhu allegedly
had an affair with a 19-year-old orphaned girl who had been adopted by a family
in Binga.
According to a
family member who is in custody of the teen, the man of God disappeared after
the matter came to light.
The family
member, who declined to be named, said Pastor Mushayavanhu allegedly left Binga
on the pretext that he was going to answer to his case before the church in
Harare but never returned.
Pastor
Mushayavanhu had, however, acknowledged the responsibility of the pregnancy
after being confronted by the family and reported to the church’s overseer in
Binga, Overseer Ndlovu.
“My mother, who
is late now, adopted the pupil when she was eight-years-old and she took her to
school. My mother died in 2017 and I took over the responsibility of taking
care of the girl, who is literally my sister.
“In January this
year Pastor Mushayavanhu was deployed to Binga and he moved into our family
house, which we’ve been renting out to Zaoga Church for years. In April, I
heard that my sister was pregnant,” said the teacher.
When contacted
for comment, the overseer of the church, Ndlovu, confirmed the incident, saying
the church was also looking for the pastor.
“I was working
with the young man here in Binga together with a few other pastors. He was
deployed to Binga just after completing Bible school and was still on
probation.
“We advised our
headquarters about his case and he was summoned before being demoted to an
ordinary church member while the church was monitoring his commitment,” said
Overseer Ndlovu.
