A 26-year-old pastor from Masvingo has been sentenced to three months in prison for defrauding his congregant of $2 000 in a botched housing stand deal.
During mitigation, the man of the cloth begged for clemency, saying he had been led astray by evil spirits.
“Your Worship, I would like to extend my sincere apologies to the complainant and the entire church for what I did,” said Mubaiwa.
“It is my profound conviction that I committed the offence before this honourable court out of the forces of Lucifer.”
Mubaiwa was ordered to restitute the complainant $650 as part of the sentence. The Herald
