Pastor Accused of Stealing Elderly Woman’s $25,000 Residential Stand

A pastor from Chinhoyi, Mashonaland West Province, is accused of duping an elderly woman out of her residential stand worth thousands of dollars. The allegations against Pastor Desmond Parirehwa, 38, who leads Deliverance and Solutions Church, involve the theft of property valued at $25,000.

Fadhuka allegedly gave Parirehwa the documents for her property when she travelled to the United Kingdom, asking him to keep them safe and later pass them on to her family. The relationship between Parirehwa and Fadhuka began in 2010, when he offered her counselling services during her grief over the loss of her two sons.

In 2012, Fadhuka fell ill and travelled to the UK for treatment, leaving the documents for her Mzari property with Parirehwa for safekeeping. However, six years later, when Fadhuka’s daughter, Misitia Marsh, asked Parirehwa to return the documents, he refused and became uncooperative.

By 2020, Parirehwa had taken over the stand, built structures on it without Fadhuka’s permission, and registered it in his own name. After unsuccessful attempts to recover the stand, Fadhuka reported the matter to the police, leading to Parirehwa’s arrest.

The case highlights the importance of accountability and the need for justice, as emphasized in Proverbs 31:8-9. It also underscores the responsibility of individuals in positions of trust to act with integrity and transparency.

Such actions bring sin into the light, as described in Ephesians 5:11, and serve as a reminder of the consequences of dishonesty and the value of protecting the vulnerable. The community and legal system must ensure that justice is served and that victims are supported in their pursuit of truth.
