A ROMAN Catholic priest from Bulawayo has allegedly impregnated a nun, leading to her banishment.
The Archbishop of Bulawayo, Alex Thomas, confirmed that Father Kevin Mthunzi Takaendesa had been disciplined for the offence.
He, however, dismissed reports that Father Takaendesa fled to England after impregnating the nun.
“Father Kevin was disciplined for impregnating a nun and I have it in writing but he went to England on holiday which was planned at the beginning of the year. As you know that it’s not easy to walk to England,” said Archbishop Thomas.
He declined to reveal details of the disciplinary measures, saying it was a private and confidential matter.
“Disciplinary procedures are there in every field and as a church we’ve a Code of Canon Law which lays down administrative policies. If there is any misconduct we use it to discipline members.
