Thyolo Magistrate Court will this morning start hearing rape case involving a Pentecostal Pastor Wyson Bellow who is accused of raping women from his church.

Bellow was arrested last year after women filed a case against him that he has been sleeping with them in the name of anointing them.

The women allege that Pastor Bellow slept with them in the bush and sometimes in houses of the fellow Church intercessors, having told them that through the act, they would be ‘blessed and anointed’.

However, Bellow has been denying the allegations leveled against him.

The Pastor who is currently on bail, is being represented by Senior Legal Aid Advocate, Laureen Chisomo Mputeni.
