A self-proclaimed prophet from Rundu on Tuesday appeared before the Mbunza traditional authority chief Alfons Kaundu after he allegedly impregnated two ushers from his church.
The two women, who are cousins, approached the traditional authority after continuously experiencing complications with their pregnancies, suspecting the prophet was haunting them spiritually.
The complications include stomach bloating and constipation, they told Chief Kaundu.
Sebardius Muronga, known by his followers as ‘Papa’, is now a subject of the traditional authority, while the Namibian police has been roped in over paternity issues, as he is allegedly denying he fathered the unborn babies.
The two ushers, Anna Sitoka Karufere (34) and Maria Nankali Kandjimi (33), opened up to Namibian Sun yesterday on how they were allegedly brainwashed and later impregnated.
Karufere is six months pregnant while Kandjimi’s baby is due next month.
The Grace Church of All Nations was established in February 2021 in Rundu’s Satotwa suburb.
Narrating her ordeal, Karufere shared shocking details about how the pastor, who is younger than both of them, managed to allegedly persuade them to do as he wishes.
Some experiences include having to ensure that the prophet has a warm meal, that his clothes are ironed and all his wishes are fulfilled.
Karufere revealed that there were five ushers, two of whom had to sleep in the same room as the prophet at a house in Sauyemwa.
“The prophet would sleep on the bed while the two of us had to sleep on the mattress by his feet,” she recalled.
“I remember one night while I was half asleep, he called us to his bed and he was sleeping in the middle. He then took the other usher and went to sleep with her on the mattress where they had sexual intercourse. He then finished and wanted to do the same with me and I refused.
“In terms of how I got pregnant, you would not know how he does it but when you wake up, you will realise that you are wet because he had sex with you. We would dream about him wanting to have sex with us,” she said.
House rules
Karufere narrated that when they moved in with the prophet, they were instructed to discontinue the relationships they had with other men.
“We were dating when we joined the church but the prophet told us that we will only be allowed to date and get employed after the year 2024,” she said.
“We were not allowed to receive calls from our families because we were apparently inviting demons into our lives. He even ordered us to get new sim cards so that he will be the only one contacting us.
“If we received calls from other people, he would get angry, beat us on our backs and buttocks and he would say it is the spirit of God telling him to discipline us.”
Also sharing her ordeal was co-founder of the church, Kornelia Kandonga (39), who said she left the church because of the alleged crooked ways of the man of God.
Kandonga said the prophet promised that she was set to become a prophet by 14 February, however, she had to sacrifice five pregnancies.
“He one day called me and told me that I will have to get pregnant five times and sacrifice them in order to become a strong prophet. I refused and told him if blood has to be involved, it can only be the work of the devil and I don’t want part of it,” Kandonga said.
No comment
When Namibian Sun visited Muronga at his house yesterday, he refused to comment.
“The matter is still pending and I am not in the position to talk to you,” the calm prophet remarked.
According to the women, the police informed them that Muronga was instructed to take care of the pregnant women and that nothing should happen to their pregnancies or else he will be held responsible and might be prosecuted.
At the Mbunza traditional authority hearing, the women revealed that Muronga admitted to having slept with them, but denied fathering their unborn children.
When contacted for comment, Kaundu said the matter has been left to the police. They are waiting for the babies to be born in order to conduct DNA tests.
