A self-styled Gweru prophet, Shepherd Mbwazvo (34) has been remanded in prison after he allegedly inserted his male organ into a client to cleanse her of pains experienced during menstruation.
The matter came to light after the complainant who is aged
21 became pregnant.
Mbwazvo of number 54 Ascot Gweru appeared before Shurugwi
Magistrate Sithabile Zungula facing rape charges yesterday and was remanded to
October 6, 2021.
Mbwazvo took his client to Dunraven Falls in Boterekwa,
Shurugwi where the cleansing took place.
State prosecutor Kwanele Njini said on an unknown date
during April 2021 at Dunraven where many churches carry out cleansing
ceremonies, the accused took the complainant also from Gweru for rituals to rid
her of menstrual pains.
During the church gathering, he separated the complainant
from the rest and took her to a secluded place. Mbwazvo allegedly ordered the
complainant to remove her clothes and lie on the ground to enable him to apply
some medicine to her vagina.
The complainant complied and the accused applied an unknown
substance on the vagina. He then inserted his organ into the complainant without
her consent. Masvingo Mirror
