Khayelitsha pastor faces rape charges

2 February 2025 by Alan

Sunday, February 2, 2025

A 51-year-old pastor has been arrested for allegedly raping and assaulting a 15-year-old girl, and two women, aged 22 and 23 at his church in Khayelitsha, Cape Town.

“It is alleged that people would go to the pastor for healing and he would tell them healing is possible, but then the victims must stay at the church, and that is where he would convince them to have sexual intercourse with him to receive their healing,” the South African Police Service (SAPS) said on Sunday.

According to the reports, the suspect assaulted and raped the victims at his church between November 2022 and January 2025.

“The community became aware of his behaviour and had a community meeting, and it was then when victims came forward and made the claims. The victims 15, 22 and 23 are safe and are receiving treatment and counselling.

“The 51-year-old suspect was arrested and appeared at the Khayelitsha Magistrates’ court where the case was remanded until 04 February 2025,” the SAPS said. –SAnews.gov.za
