Sometimes, the story of Barbz and the Pastor assumes the complexity of a conundrum but at some other times, the saga simply meanders like river Miriu in Kenya, leaving many questions unanswered. There was a period when Barbz and the Pastor were very broke but towards the end of last year, an examination of financial transactions in favour of Barbz indicate that the couple was very rich.
During the period when Barbz was broke, she was mainly alone in Upplands Väsby as the Pastor put up at Hagsätra after he was housed by a youth Pastor in his church.
To try and contain the “Barbz scandal” and after gaining access to Barbz’s email, Pastor Charles Mapozi pumped KSB with a zillion emails that were stolen from Barbz’s address. From the content of these emails, it looks like there was a period when Barbz appears to have developed feelings of having been abandoned by the Pastor because she looked like someone who was looking for love elsewhere. She was not living with the Pastor.
Interestingly, it is during this period when the Pastor also seems to have hooked up with Terezza on a romantic scale. What is curious is that Barbz knew Terezza because they were both members of the same congregation under Pastor although she did not imagine that Terezza could have been the lady who may have been providing the goods to the Pastor when she was away in Upplands Väsby and as the Pastor went through untold tribulations after he became homeless.
Indeed, the Pastor was going through a difficult period in his life and he needed someone to console him, a vacuum which the paperless Terezza may have noticed before she wriggled herself in to fill up the space with her Filipino charms, probably expecting mapepe as pay-back. On the surface, this sounded a good deal.
Barbz never used to visit the Pastor at his Hagsätra retreat although according to Barbz, the Pastor used to visit her at the neighbor’s place where she had taken refuge to consume the goods. Since it was the Pastor who was making the rounds, one might be led to think that the Pastor was double dealing because he never told Barbz anything about Terezza until the day when Barbz came to see him in hospital after he collapsed in the Church. That was after the Pastor understood that Barbz was on her way to becoming a millionaire.
MORE MONEY PUMPED INTO PASTOR’S CHURCH ACCOUNT: At this point in time, the Pastor appears to have made very serious commitments with Terezza because when he broke the news to Barbz that he was with Terezza, he at the same time blamed his action on the devil before trying to calm Barbz down that the relationship was nothing but “Paper business”.
The big question that remained is why the Pastor had accepted an expensive phone worth 5,000kr from a poor paperless girl with 5 mouths to feed in the Philippines if his relationship with Terezza was platonic and based on sympathy because of her suffering as a paperless mother of five.
Another question is why the Pastor was blaming this relationship on the devil if it was not real because the act of helping Terezza with papers should have been a courageous act which deserved praise, not regrets from the Pastor. Had the Pastor become confused after he found himself on the horns of dilemma, torn between commitments to Terezza on the one hand and the prospect of losing millions that had began to roll in the direction of Barbz? We will never know.
When the Pastor came from hospital after 5 days of treatment and observation, a tendency that is noticeable from available documents is that money was coming in on a constant basis and in two different ways. There was huge amounts of money that was coming directly into the Pastor’s Church account while there was money coming in through Western Union directly to Barbz before she allegedly surrendered the cash to the Pastor. The money was coming in from a contact in Germany who had purchased Barbz property in Kenya and the name, address and other details of the German are clearly stated in the transaction documents.
On 3rd November 2008, 500 Euros came in through Western Union to Barbz while on 13th the same month, another 700 Euros was wired in. This was followed by another 950 Euros on 19th November and another 950 Euros on the 27th November 2008. The previous day (28th), 750 Euros had been wired in and less than two weeks later (10/12/2008), another 750 Euros was wired in through Western Union followed by another 500 Euros that came in on 30th December 2008. The next installment was on 2nd January 2009 when 780 Euros was wired in before another 500 Euros came in the same day.
In his communications, the Pastor had questioned how he could have maintained Barbz in Sweden for 8 months before her millions started getting in towards the end of last year. What he did not mention was that on 16th July last year, a total of 8,400 Euros was wired to Barbz in two transactions, one for 5,000 Euros and another for 3,400 Euros. During this period, they were still together. Barbz had claimed that almost a million Swedish crowns was wired in and much of this money went in through the Pastor’s church account. From transaction documents recovered by KSB, there is no reason to dispute Barbz’s claims.
Once the Pastor understood that finance was no longer a problem, he brainwashed Barbz to believe that his relationship with Terezza was a “paper thing”. In the meantime, he dumped Terezza (at least in the eyes of Barbz) to concentrate in the direction in which money was coming from. One important development is that he refused to dump the expensive phone Terezza bought him even after Barbz offered to buy him a similar phone. For Barbz, seeing the Pastor with the “Terezza phone” was disturbing especially after the Pastor had talked about the devil having tempted him, probably to taste Terezza’s charms.
CHURCH RENT AND OTHER BILLS SORTED AT 70,000 KR: The Pastor is very cleaver. He knew that the cash which was coming in from Germany could not be wired into his bank account directly because then, he could have been confronted by the bank to explain where the money was coming from and compelled to pay tax if the cash was the product of business transactions.
For this reason, he chose to direct the cash into the church’s account, fixed an ATM card which he could use to spend the money, all in the name of love and the great blessings that the almighty God had brought his way after months of prayers, trials, tribulations, homelessness, uncertainty and devilish temptations with the likes of Terezza. Little did Barbz know that this was just a game.
As readers will remember, both Barbz and the Pastor were homeless and the first thing the couple tackled is that they bought a house at Alvsjö to get rid of “the Satan of homelessness”. Barbz paid a cool 120,000 kr as down payment and the couple said good bye to homelessness. The balance was to follow and guess in whose name the house was written? You got it wrong. It was the Church which, a week earlier, had been too broke to pay rent!
Next on the agenda was the church itself to be taken care of. Economic crisis had hit kanisa mbaya sana and by the time the Pastor became homeless, rent had not been paid for 7-8 months while other bills were also outstanding. Church workers had not been paid. The congregation was threatened with eviction and this could have been a catastrophe. The rent was 6,000 kr per month and the next thing the Pastor did is that he sorted out all bills at an estimated 70,000 kr cash money – thanks to Barbz and her millions!
Readers will remember the Pastor lamenting (incognito) how he used to cook for Barbz, clean her clothes, Iron them and lick stuff. He wrote:
“He cleaned the house, cooked the food, washed her clothes, washed the dishes and even cleaned the bath room. All this time Barbz did nothing but use the computer. (I have seen the chats, they are court evidence). What makes you think a guy that gives you a place to live and feeds you, cleans after you and washes your clothes for eight months is a devil”.
Surely, with a house having been bought to end homelessness and the Church rent having been paid by the millionaire girlfriend, what was the Pastor supposed to do? Tell the millionaire to wash clothes when she could buy a washing machine to do the job or expect her to stain her manicured finger nails doing the dishes when she could afford machines to do the job? We will not get there though…
With an ATM card in his wallet and thousands of crowns in the church’s account, Barbz was brainwashed into purchasing the Pastor spectacles worth 12,000 crowns. It is understood that these are the same spectacles the Pastor hangs today as I write this article. That was after the Pastor went and bought a puppy for 50,000 kr and a digital camera worth 12,000 kr. His favourite shopping spot was NK reserved for celebrities.
In short, the Pastor went on a spending spree as cash continued to flow in. During all these times, the Pastor maintained his relationship with Terezza whom he was planning to marry after draining Barbz dry. In our next installment, find out how the crisis between Barbz and the Pastor erupted and how the Pastor had a secret wedding with Terezza prompting Barbz to understand that she had been taken for a big ride and how she quit the relationship before landing on the hands of KISS agents with her story.

I direct my bomb to Barbz and ask her: How blind could she have been to see her money being spent on senseless shopping sprees to purchase spectacles for 12,000kr and a ridiculous 50,000kr for a puppy?
When you acquire “free money” without working for it, you have no sense of accountability. No wonder so many heirs and heiresses to huge fortunes end up being paupers.
I don’t refute that Barbz was conned, but I also see from this installment that she was party to the carelessness of Pastor Mapozi.
