A Catholic church in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe has banished its priest after he
allegedly impregnated a nun.
The Chronicle reports that the priest was disciplined by the church for
the shameful act.
The Archbishop of Bulawayo, Alex Thomas, confirmed that Father Kevin Mthunzi Takaendesa had been sanctioned for the offence.
The Archbishop said, “Father Kevin was disciplined for impregnating a
nun and I have it in writing but he went to England on holiday which was
planned at the beginning of the year. As you know that it’s not easy to walk to
England.
“Disciplinary procedures are there in every field and as a church we’ve
a Code of Canon Law which lays down administrative policies. If there is any
misconduct we use it to discipline members.
“I can confirm that he (Father Takaendesa) went to England and came back
to Bulawayo. The holiday had nothing to do with impregnating the nun as that is
his own personal issue,” Archbishop Thomas said.
“I understand that a lot has been said about me and other priests but
all this needs facts. I never transferred a priest to England after he
impregnated a nun and I didn’t chase her away from church,” Archbishop Thomas
said.
“Nuns have their own rules and systems. I don’t have to deal with nuns.” He asked people to stay away from social media rumours over the incident and his own private life.

“Can you bring me the title deeds, car registration books and a birth certificate to prove all this malice?”
