A 19-year-old pastor in Zimbabwe,
Frank Emmanuel, has caused a stir
after he allegedly impregnated the
founder of his church, Bernadette
Nyanga, 26, and snatching her from
her husband, reports Masasi News.

The woman who is the owner of
Hope and Life Ministries based in
Dangamvura, has been married for
two years to Leslie Mparutsa, but has
been having sexual relationships
with her young pastor and is
currently carrying his baby.

But the 19-year-old pastor has
maintained that he did not get
another man’s wife pregnant
because the woman and her husband
have been separated and according
to him, she was free to date him.

“I am not dating someone’s wife. The
two (Bernadette and Leslie) broke up
and I don’t know why he is
continuously pestering her.

If you want to get the truth, call
Bernadette on her NetOne line.

Leslie is out to tarnish my image as a
man of God as well as that of
Bernadette who recently founded her
own ministry.

She is a woman of God and some
people are misleading Leslie to
tarnish our image. I cannot say
anything on the alleged affair, why
can’t you phone Bernadette?”

Emmanuel told reporters
But the bitter husband is not having
any of that, accusing Emmanuel of
being the cause of the break down of
his marriage.

“I have lost my wife of two years to a
young pastor in Dangamvura, Frank
and the two are spending most of
their time together.

At one time, I confronted Frank to
leave my wife alone, but he told me
that Bernadette had lied to her that
she had divorced me.

The two continued with their affair. I
arrived home last Tuesday night
from church and discovered that my
wife was not at home. I waited for
her return in vain and decided to
look for her at Frank’s house in Area
3.

It was around midnight and I was
told that he had left and was now
staying in Founders area of
Nyamauru also in Dangamvura,” he
said.

Leslie said followed the two to their
new love nest and allegedly caught
up with the lovebirds who were
walking in the company of Frank’s
three body guards.

“The body guards confronted me and
told me to leave the two alone. They
warned me never to confront their
prophet again.

I left them and decided to make a
police report at Dangamvura Police
Station since I had been threatened
by them as well as Bernadette’s text
messages.

I was advised by the police that it
was a civil matter. I was actually
forced by her late mother to marry
Bernadette. My late mother-in-law
bankrolled my wedding in December
2013 after I had told her that I did
not have the resources for such an
occasion.

She said I would repay her later, but
unfortunately, she passed on before I
paid her money back. My two year
marriage with Bernadette failed to
produce any children and I later
discovered that my wife was taking
birth control tablets.

What is paining me most is her
claims that she is now carrying
Frank’s baby, yet our marriage is
still to be annulled,” the agrieved
Mparutsa said.
