Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A Kariba-based cleric has been dragged to court by a congregant who he allegedly assaulted for failing to properly clean the church\u2019s toilet.<\/p>\n

The pastor, Tonderai Muridzi (32), appeared before Kariba magistrate Tendai Banda on Tuesday facing assault charges and was sentenced to a $20 000 fine.<\/p>\n

Muridzi, of Heartfelt International Ministries, beat up Ngonidzashe Makovere (17), a Form 5 student and follower at the church.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Karen Musiiwa told the court that on 7 September 2021, a passer-by asked for permission to use the toilet to which the complainant agreed.<\/p>\n

The passer-by reportedly spilt some water on the toilet floor and left without mopping it up.<\/p>\n

Muridzi noticed the mess before instructing the boy to clean as he was the one who had allowed the visitor to use the bathroom.<\/p>\n

The teenager allegedly complied but as he cleaned the floor an unsatisfied Muridzi confronted him alleging he was not being diligent in the task.<\/p>\n

Muridzi started shouting at the boy and started bashing him with open hands and fists, in the process inflicting injuries on the complainant.<\/p>\n

The matter was reported at the Kariba police post leading to Muridzi\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n
