Family members stormed a Harare church and attacked the preacher during Sunday service. They accused Apostle Trust Chakona of making a university student pregnant and demanding she abort the baby. The angry relatives tore his clothes and disrupted worship at Grace Life Embassy on Robert Mugabe Road. Church members and people walking past watched the chaos unfold. The student refused his abortion demands and he blocked her phone calls.
Jean says the pastor lied about being married and promised to marry her instead. She claims their relationship started in June last year before his December wedding. The family tried peaceful meetings first but Chakona avoided them completely. Jean accused him of denying responsibility once she refused the abortion. She called his claims about seduction lies and said he should have resisted temptation.
Chakona admits having the affair but blames Jean for pushing the relationship forward. He married someone else in December but continued seeing Jean until February. The pastor questions whether he fathered her baby and suggests she targets him unfairly. He says the church attack embarrassed him and his congregation. The family sent threats and confronted his father at home about the pregnancy.
