Pastor in hot soup for allegedly buying sex

Though facing a rape charge the pastor accuses the complainant of crying wolf because he could not pay for the sexual escapade.  The state alleges that Charles Thembo, 39, of the Enlightened Christian in Gathering (ECG) allegedly raped a woman aged 21 at his Selepa residence on August 28.

When Thembo appeared on Friday, detective sergeant Master Seleka told the court that the purpose of the mention was to extend the remand warrant of the accused to remain in jail in order to allow the police to complete their investigations.
