A PASTOR at Kingdom Fellowship Church who impregnated a 15-year-old girl after making her believe he was testing her v*rginity has been sentenced to two years in prison.
Elisha Persuade Nhando (40) admitted to impregnating the minor when he appeared before a Harare magistrate.
He claimed they were lovers.
Nhando yesterday pleaded guilty to engage in sex with a minor.
Mr Tendai Mahwe sentenced him to three years in prison before setting aside one year on condition of good behaviour.
In passing sentence, Mr Mahwe said cases of pastors abusing their duties were rampant hence the need to pass a deterrent sentence.
In Zimbabwe, the age of sexual consent is 16.
