Polokwane - A sex crazy priest ordered a sickly woman to strip naked and accept a miracle from heaven before raping her on Saturday night.
The priest called the woman to his house in Buffelshoek near Polokwane on Saturday and preached to her.
"He then told her that she should strip naked if she wanted to be healed," said police spokesperson Mohale Ramatseba.
The unsuspecting 33-year-old woman stripped and closed her eyes while praying out loud.
The priest allegedly started speaking in tongues and called out to the heavens to heal the woman.
The woman told police that the priest touched her forehead and continued to pray until she fell to the floor.
He then allegedly raped her.
The woman fled and reported the matter to police who arrested the priest.
He is expected to appear in court soon.
Ramatseba advised women not to assume that all men who claimed to be men of God had honest intentions. - African Eye News Service
