A man in Zimbabwe was shocked to discover that the pastor who officiated his wedding is the biological father of his two children.

This revelation involves Pastor Vhetu from the End Time Messages church in Chiredzi, who has now been ordered to pay child support.

DNA tests confirmed that Vhetu is the father of the children born to Eunice Mururi, whose wedding he officiated to Farai Hatirarami.

Following this revelation, Mururi’s marriage to Hatirarami fell apart. Mururi is now seeking $700 in monthly child support for their 8-year-old and 4-year-old children.

In court, Pastor Vhetu admitted to being the father but requested a lower maintenance payment due to irregular income from tithes.

His lawyer argued that Vhetu’s income primarily comes in the form of food hampers rather than cash, limiting his ability to pay.

The magistrate found Vhetu’s offer of 150 ZiG per child to be “insincere” and ordered him to pay $175 per month for both children.
