BULAWAYO – A Cowdray Park pastor allegedly turned a congregant, 16, into a sex slave and infected her with HIV and genital warts while claiming to be driving out a death demon that wanted to kill her father.
Greatness Tapfuma, 33, the founder of Kingdom Rulers International Church was recently acquitted of raping two other congregants. In the latest case, it is claimed that his emissaries attempted to bribe his victim with a house, a car or cash.
He pleaded not guilty to two counts of rape yesterday before regional magistrate Chrispen Mberewere.
Tapfuma was later arrested together with his three congregants for manhandling a photographer from The Chronicle who had taken pictures of him.
