Meet pastor who allegedly pesters married women for sex

A 28-year-old Zimbabwean prophet has been accused of sleeping with married women while pretending to cleanse them of evil. Prophet Nesbert “Jaji” Chimulambe of the Johanne Masowe eChishanu allegedly lures women to a secluded river under the pretext of spiritual cleansing while pestering them for sexual favours.

Nesbert “Jaji” Chimulambe, who is married, is accused of using his position as a prophet in the church to indecently assault female congregants in the name of helping them.

According to HMetro, one of Nesberts’ victims said, Nesbert was helping her with her spiritual problems and told her to go to Hunyani River for cleansing and he allegedly followed her.

“He was helping me with prayers so he said I should go to the river for cleansing. I went there alone and when I got there I took off my clothes and started doing the ritual.

“I was startled when I saw him behind me. He then started to fondle me and asked to sleep with me. I managed to escape from his grasp and went home.

“I reported what had transpired to one of the church elders. I have never stepped foot at their church again because I felt betrayed by a man I thought was helping me with my problems,” she said.

Another victim  a married teenager said:

“I am 17-years-old and I am married. I was having problems in my marriage and Madzibaba Nesbert was helping me. He said I was to be cleansed because I have an evil spirit in me.

“He took me to the river and stripped me. He then started to fondle me. I then screamed and he got scared. I asked him what kind of a prayer that was and he apologised.

“I threatened to tell his wife of what he had done but he in turn threatened me saying if I told anyone about what had transpired he would ruin my marriage for me.

“I did not go to the police but I confided in one of the church prophets and told them what their fellow prophet had done to me.

“It is so disheartening because I thought I was going to get help but instead a man of God tried to force himself on me. I am sure he has not done this to me alone but many women have fallen prey to his actions,” she said.

Nesbert will likely be stripped of his title according to a senior official.
