A 34-YEAR-old pastor with the Apostolic Faith Mission of Zimbabwe (AFM) has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for incest.
The court heard that between 2022 and 2024, the pastor repeatedly had sexual relations with his step daughter, who is now 18 years old, at different locations.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the illicit affair began in 2022 when the victim’s mother left her in the offender’s custody.
They first had sexual relations in his bedroom while they were watching videos.
The abuse continued over the years, leading to a pregnancy in 2023, which he later arranged to be terminated.
A tip-off led to investigations, leading to his arrest. The offender was convicted and sentenced for incest.
Meanwhile, a Highfield man is on the run for allegedly raping his maid.
Vision Makichi, 31, allegedly returned from work during the afternoon and raped his maid, who is aged 16.
His wife was at work.
Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, confirmed the case appealing for information that may lead to the arrest of Vision.
“Police are investigating a rape case involving an employer and his maid,” said Insp Chakanza.
“The complainant was with a nine-month-old baby while the accused and his wife were at work.
“The accused person returned home and found the complainant fast asleep in her room.
“The accused entered the room and raped her.
“After the act the accused begged the complainant not to tell anyone about his deeds.
“He promised to do anything for her if she kept the secret.
“The complainant revealed the ordeal to her auntie.
“She was referred to the Family Support Clinic at Sally Mugabe Hospital for medical examinations,” said Insp Chakanza.
