Themba Smart (32) of Lucknow Farm, Mvurwi, pleaded not
guilty to the charge before magistrate Artwell Sanyatwe, who remanded him in
custody to June 13.
The State alleges that sometime in June 2017, while at
Mvurwi Community Hall, the man of cloth told complainant Jowell Chirenje (46)
to give him the money he wanted to use to buy cattle so that it could be
“blessed” and returned at the next Sunday service.
Chirenje complied and waited for his blessed money the next
Sunday, but the pastor was never seen in the area again after relocating to an
unknown place.
The complainant filed a police report and Smart was put on
the police wanted list, leading to his arrest last week.
Carson Kundiona represented the State. Newsday
