A
traditional healer who came to remove a cursed rock that has been a
problem to villagers has mysteriously died in the process.
Chief Nemangwe narrated how the incident happened
A row over a maize field within a family in Gokwe area of Zimbabwe
turned nasty when a sangoma (traditional healer) who was hired to remove
a “curse” suspected to have been administered to the field by one of
the parties mysteriously bled to death during a cleansing ceremony, B-Metro reports.
The report revealed further that the traditional healer only
identified as Dhona reportedly died while glued to a rock which was in
the middle of the maize field and is believed to contain juju.
It was while he was glued to the 'cursed rock' that he mysteriously
started bleeding from his manhood, mouth and nose leading to his death.
Narrating the incident, Chief Nemangwe whose jurisdiction the area
falls under said that the Mbano family from Masonini village hired Dhona
to exorcise their late father Norman’s maize field which they suspected
to have been cursed by their uncle Ishmael.
It is alleged that trouble started after the late Norman’s children
confronted their uncle demanding back the field in question which they
claimed he forcibly took following their father’s death sometime ago.
They alleged that Ishmael took advantage of the fact that when
their father died they were still minors and that their mother had also
re-married.
“When the Mbano family had a row over the maize field they
approached my court and I ruled in favour of Norman’s children. So each
time they tried to tend to the field some mysterious things will be
happening like whenever the go near it they will be pushed away by
unforeseen forces.
“This prompted them to hire a sangoma to conduct a cleansing
ceremony. Before Dhona was hired they tried two other healers who
refused saying the juju was very powerful and would kill them,” said Chief Nemangwe.
According to Chief Nemangwe, Dhona after he was hired had
identified a rock which was in the middle of the field saying it was the
one which contained the juju.
“He immediately armed himself with his tools and proceeded
straight to it. As soon as he started hitting it with his healing rod
Dhona mysteriously got stuck to it while bleeding from his organ, mouth
and ear. He died in the process,” said Chief Nemangwe.
He added that following the tragic incident Norman’s children were
appealing for help to have the “cursed” maize field cleansed so that
they could tend to it.
