Obadiah Musindo (Obediah Musindo) Biography | Age, Engagement, Rape Charge, Losing Company Shares
This is the biography of Obadiah Musindo, also known as Obediah Musindo, a Zimbabwean pastor associated with the Zanu-PF party. He is the founder of Destiny for Africa Network which supports Zanu-PF policies and leadership.
Age
Obadiah Musindo claims that he was born on 25 March 1970.
Engagement
On December 28, 2023, Obadiah Musindo got engaged to his 22-year-old girlfriend. This sparked discussions on social media, with some focusing on the significant age gap between Musindo and his partner. Critics deemed the relationship controversial, considering the alleged age gap of 20 years, a claim Musindo dismissed as false.
Rape Charge
In 2004, Musindo faced allegations of raping his maid on five occasions. The case, however, only reached court two years later, following pressure from women’s organizations threatening demonstrations against the police’s reluctance to act. Despite an order from the Attorney General, the police appeared hesitant to arrest Musindo. The investigating female police officer was even removed from the case. Musindo, denying the charges, argued that political opponents fabricated the rape allegation due to his support for President Robert Mugabe and Zanu-PF.
The legal proceedings included an unsuccessful attempt by Musindo to halt the trial in the High Court and Supreme Court appeals against adverse rulings. The trial eventually proceeded despite these legal manoeuvres.
