KwaMhlanga - A Zion Christian Church leader has been charged with rape for apparently taking a 12-year-old church member as his second wife when he could no longer have sex with his pregnant wife.
Captain Mamsy Cibe said on Monday the 43-year-old pastor from KwaMhlanga north of Witbank was arrested at his church on Sunday afternoon.
The girl had been helping the pastor at a spaza shop since December 11 last year and, during that time, they allegedly started to have sex.
