Dear Editor.
The Founder of the Zimbabwe Assemblies Of God Africa, ZAOGA church is demanding lobola money from a woman he forced to into marriage with an Aboriginal man (part of the 96 year old preacher’s alleged scam for community fund grants with the Australian government).
The story pertains a junior female pastor in ZAOGA.
This story is of the female junior pastor based in Harare: Sometime in March 2016, Ezekiel Guti organised a husband for her, an Aboriginal in Australia so that he (Guti) can obtain financial grants from the Australian government which pours money if one reaches out to the Aboriginal community… (if you are involved in any community integration programs which benefit the Aboriginal community groups, the state gives you financial lump-sums).
On the day of the forced marriage wedding day, this junior female pastor, Fadzai Bibi (born in Gweru), screamed complaining saying “I don’t want this man.” This was after she had discovered that he has a very dark past which includes 5 years incarceration, and drug addiction.
When that happened, ZAOGA removed her from church. The Aboriginal was then forced to marry another Zimbabwean female, once again named “Fadzai.”
After pastor Fadzai Bibi was kicked out of the church, she flew to Australia and her family tried to discourage her telling her never return to ZAOGA. But somehow because she is a pastor , she returned to the church again, and she found a man to marry and they planned a wedding in May.
For the Aboriginal man, named Derrick (surname not given) – Guti paid out USD10,000 to Fadzai’s family, but her parents refused. However the parents later accepted the money. Around that time however, Fadzai (the pastor) had refused to even kiss him.
All this was because family had done investigations and found that this Derrick had criminal charges; and he was married; he was also a drug addict, even though he was called a pastor.
Derrick’s relationship with the 2nd Fadzai later failed and he after returning to Australia, he left the church.
Fadzai, the pastor later found someone to marry her, and they planned for a wedding in May 2019 and the church knew this. It was on Monday when she was called to the office and they sat her down telling her, we know you’re planning for a wedding, but you’re still married to Derrick. She replied saying, “But how can you say that, since I do not have a marriage certificate, and have neither consummated with him?”
The church then said to her they were kicking her out of the church because, “you are getting married twice.”
The question now is how can she be termed a married person when there was no marriage certificate?
Guti is now demanding his money (the USD 10,000) from the family. Is it appropriate for Guti to demand money from Fadzai’s family?
Why is Guti punishing the family for a force marriage?
BACKGROUND:
The date of church marriage (not the chapter 7 type) was in March 2016, and on that day, the daughter, Fadzai Bibi (28) quickly changed her mind when while sat at table she heard a congratulatory message sent from Australia revealing that the 49 year old Mr Derrick Butt is a drug addict and an ex convict of over 5 years in prison, so the wish was this wedding would help reform him. This was the beginning of it all, and on that night, she refused to sleep with him.
She quickly ditched everything, and within days Guti had organised another woman for the man, a Zimbabwean who is based in South Africa.
Was he being forced by Guti?
Guti paid the lobola… after organising the man a wife, now he is demanding it paid back and has punished the young young pastor by firing her.
WHY DID GUTI PAY ALL THIS MONEY AND WHAT’S HIS INTEREST?
At the heart of the serious allegations is the issue of community funding for Aboriginal citizens for whom the Australian government is pouring millions of dollars.
Another side of the story told in informal circles by the church alleges that the preacher and his organisation are not guilty of anything. They were only assisting the young female pastor get a husband. Of those saying this however, none has offered to go public to be identified by their names.
Whatever the circumstances, the official response by ZAOGA FIF to a suicidal elderly mother- is it responsible?
