A key witness in the ongoing rape trial of Pastor John Nundwe, popularly known as John General, testified today that there were attempts to pressure the alleged victim to withdraw the case. Pastor Nundwe, who leads Miracles Impact Ministries International, is accused of raping a female member of his congregation.
The witness, testifying before Lusaka Magistrate Amy Masoja, disclosed that efforts were made to convince the victim, a Lusaka woman, to drop the charges against the pastor. The rape charge is contrary to sections 132 and 133 of the Penal Code, Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia.
During the proceedings, the witness also refuted claims that he had demanded 800,000 Kwacha from the accused as a settlement to resolve the matter outside the courtroom.
This revelation emerged during cross-examination when defense lawyer Yokonia Daka presented letters allegedly written by the witness and his wife, seeking to withdraw the case. The victim’s husband, who was on the witness stand, denied that these letters were intended as part of any financial settlement with the accused.
The trial continues as the court seeks to uncover the full details surrounding the case.
Morally this pastor should have resigned on the day it happened.
Why resign, not beheaded? That’s what the Bible say.
Only in Zambia you r@pe women, sue that Pastor John in Saudi Arabia court. He be executed with 45 minutes of testifying.
He is where he is because he lacks morals…
What fascinates me is that people still believe in these pastors. When will man learn that you can directly reach out to your God? You do not need a middle man(greedy, certainly not God fearing)who always wants something from you as if he were doing you a service.
Its happening nearly every day in courts through out Zambia
so are we surprised ??
Yes God does not need middle men, so called, Pastors
No longer a man of God
Just deport such fake men of God……..
Crooks praying on naive Zambians……
That’s why kigame is the real leader.
Rwandes now have time to think about how to generate income instead waisting time being duped , after most fake pastors were banned
Zambia has now become a paradise for conmen and scammers. Easy victims are Zambians living abroad. One would be seduced to send money to so-called men of God, presenting themselves as relatives. To buy land for them. Only to later discover that they have swindled.
Yes why the gouvernement fail to deport such immoral characters. One thing is clear. This Malawian like Lungu are causing a lot of damages to Zambians. Malawi is just across and near to Zambia. We do not even need a plane to depot them. Just hire minibus and load them in.
