Gweru Metro|A prophet with an apostolic sect in Murayo Village under Chief Nyamondo in Mberengwa, Midlands Province appeared to have been severely punished by God after he was allegedly bitten by a snake during a sex romp in the bush with a married woman.
According to reports, the woman had reportedly consulted the prophet for spiritual help over problems with her husband who was accusing her of allegedly being “infertile” after their two-year marriage had not been blessed with a child.
On the fateful day, when he got more than what he had bargained for, it is alleged that he solicited for sex from the woman as part of the healing session after she had visited him at his shrine.
Due to a recent downpour and mud, the two could not lie on the ground, forcing the man of God to improvise a makeshift mat from tree branches and leaves. For the prophet, the pleasure however, turned to mourning when he was bitten on the leg by a snake which was apparently sheltering in the makeshift love nest.
After the attack, he ran from the scene in horror thereby attracting the attention of a passersby who quickly rushed to see what was happening. The passersby later assisted him by taking him to Mberengwa District Hospital for treatment.
“Before he was assisted, Madzibaba reportedly lied to his rescuers claiming that he was bitten by a snake while relieving himself. However, when the seemingly suspicious passersby went in the direction which he had emerged from to “locate” the snake, they were shocked when they found the woman standing half naked near the makeshift love nest.
“She later confessed that Madzibaba was bitten by the snake while they were having sex. She also begged them not to report her to her husband saying she was trying her luck with the prophet after she failed to bear children with her husband,” said a source on condition of anonymity.
