A church leader from Mbare is facing legal consequences for fraud and impersonating an official from the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) to obtain land for expanding his church’s premises.
Details of the Case that led to the church leader’s arrest
Prosecutor Thomas Chanakira revealed that Nyamasoka, a pastor at Faith Ministries International in Mbare, Harare, is charged with fraud and forgery. The City of Harare is the complainant in this case.
The issue began in January when Faith Ministries International sought to acquire land adjacent to its current location. This land, previously used as a parking lot by Faith Ministries, had been temporarily leased to True Believers International Ministries.

Impersonation and Fraudulent Activities
In April 2024, Nyamasoka reportedly contacted council officials while pretending to be a Zacc officer, urging them to cancel the land allocation to the competing church. Additionally, he is accused of creating a counterfeit letter with a fake letterhead, instructing the district officer to stop the land allocation process due to supposed ongoing Zacc investigations.
