Pastor accused of rape
KWEKWE – Living Christ Ministries church pastor, Edwin Sibanda, has appeared before the courts on charges of raping his maid.
Prosecutor Vimbai Chinoda said between November and December last year, Sibanda proposed love to the maid who is a minor. She, however, turned him down.
It is the state’s case that in the days that followed, the clergyman forced himself on the young girl. Due to the trauma of the offences, the girl fled to stay for few days with a relative before attempting to commit suicide. The case came to light when the aunt quizzed her over the incident.
A report was then made to police leading to the arrest of the man. He is denying the charges.
Magistrate Tendai Manuwere remanded Sibanda out of custody on $100 bail.
Trial is expected to kick start next week when the state brings witnesses in for testimonies. – Brenna Matendere
