A Zimbabwean pastor identified as Joseph Ponda has been caught having sex with his church member in a bush.

The  Apostolic Faith Mission Pastor who was caught red-handed in the sex act with a married church member, was beaten by passers-by who apprehended him.

The viral video shared online, shows the pastor being beaten, humiliated and also forced to run a distance with the female church member in his underwear.

It was further gathered that the church is set to demote the pastor, if investigations reveals that the allegation against him is true.

This comes a few months after a Kenyan pastor was expelled from his church for allegedly having sexual relations with seven of his church members.

Speaking to The Nairobian, David Kamau denied the allegations, claiming the women approached him and he expelled one of them who was pressing him too hard for sex.

“I know the complainants and they have been members of my church. I am surprised that some of them are accusing me yet they are the ones who approached me. The Nyumba Kumi leaders did not give me a chance to defend myself and accused me of being a sex pest,” said the pastor.

When the news broke, Nyumba Kumi leaders (a local vigilante group) led by their chairman, Benson Mureu and other preachers from the area, stormed the church premises, closed it down and removed a signpost at the gate of the church.

“I have seen many temptations. I didn’t understand why women, married and unmarried kept approaching me, yet I am a married man. I never slept with them. Some of them had to be dismissed from the church,” said Kamau, adding that the women wanted him out of the church.
