Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A 36-year-old self-styled prophet is accused of raping a 14-year-old girl who is a member of his church, the Tabernacle of Power Ministries in Chitungwiza.<\/p>\n

According to HeraldOnline, Prophet Tino, whose real name is Tendai Tinodiwanashe Mashongashika, recently appeared in court to respond to the allegations.<\/p>\n

The incident reportedly happened on January 12, 2025, after a church service held at Pastor Tino\u2019s home in Unit A. After the service, the youth chair lady asked the girl to stay behind and help arrange the chairs.<\/p>\n

During this time, Pastor Tino allegedly took the girl into his bedroom, where he forced himself on her and raped her.<\/p>\n

Afterward, he gave her a cloth to wipe off the blood and took her to her grandmother\u2019s house. Before leaving, he prayed for her.<\/p>\n

The girl did not initially tell anyone about the assault because Pastor Tino had told her not to. He allegedly said that no one would believe her because he is a pastor.<\/p>\n

The next morning, on January 13, at around 6 AM, Pastor Tino met the girl again and gave her morning-after pills, instructing her on how to use them.<\/p>\n

The rape was discovered on January 30 when the girl\u2019s grandmother checked her cell phone and found WhatsApp messages from the pastor proposing love to the 14-year-old girl.<\/p>\n

The grandmother also saw that the girl had been enquiring about morning-after pills and how to terminate a pregnancy. When she confronted her granddaughter, the girl did not disclose the rape.<\/p>\n

However, the grandmother informed her aunt, and the teenager then revealed the abuse by Pastor Tino. A medical report was presented in court as evidence.<\/p>\n
