A SELF proclaimed prophet who claimed God sent him to heal women with his penis has been sentenced to 17 years in prison for raping his married neighbour.
Lungile Ncube, 32, of Worringham in Bulawayo lured his victim into believing that he received a vision on how to cure her of stomach pains by having sexual intercourse with her.
In passing sentence, Bulawayo regional magistrate Sikhumbuzo Nyathi said cases of sexual abuse by prophets and church leaders had become a cause for concern and culprits deserved lengthy jail terms.
“It is aggravating that the accused abused his position of trust over a complainant who was his usual client and close neighbour.
