A man has narrated how he was allegedly raped by a pastor who promised him a job of painting his house.
The 37-year-old man from Tshepisong near Kagiso in South Africa told Daily Sun that after arriving the pastor’s house for the painting job, he was overpowered by the clergy who allegedly handcuffed him and raped him.
The 37-year-old man said the unmarried pastor insisted that he sleep over at his house so he could start work early in the morning.
“That night, he sneaked into the bedroom where I was sleeping and handcuffed me. When I asked him what he was doing, he gagged me so I couldn’t scream,” he said.
The man said he opened a case at Kagiso Police Station but it wasn’t going anywhere.
“The cops have failed me because the pastor is roaming freely,” he said.
The man said the police didn’t take his case seriously. “Some laughed at me, saying I was crazy.”
Police spokesman Captain Solomon Sibiya advised the man to explain to the station commander what had happened to him and to check the status of his case.
