A complainant in a case at Mberengwa Magistrates’ Court has
accused a local prophetess of picking and sleeping with married men at the
church shrine thereby wrecking a lot of marriages.
Esther Moyo (51) of the Johanne Masowe Church who is
popularly known as Madzimai Wiseman allegedly tells any man she prefers for sex
that angels had told her that his spirit is in unison with hers and thereafter
she would ask the man to remain behind and sleep at the shrine for three days.
Moyo who comes from Mutata village under Chief Mposi would
then start sleeping with the man until there is a relationship which frequently
results in broken marriages.
A distraught woman who allegedly lost her husband to Moyo
said the prophetess changed men at the church ‘like pair of trousers’.
Moyo was dragged to court by Shumirai Shumba (42) who also
sought a protection order and claimed maintenance for her eight children from
her husband Simbarashe Dhadha (46).
Shumba said that Moyo and Dhadha harassed, insulted and
chased her away from the homestead that she built together with her husband.
She said Dhadha was now not only in love with Moyo but he
is also her assistant and the interpreter during prophesy.
Dhadha therefore travels around the region together with
Moyo and he no longer has time for the children hence the claim for
maintenance.
Magistrate Evia Matura granted the maintenance on 22 July,
2020 and ordered Dhadha to pay RTGS$4 000.
Shumba described Moyo as a false prophet. She said that Moyo
was based in Bulawayo and came to Mberengwa after hooking up with a man who
came from the district. She accused her of also having destroyed her uncle’s
marriage.
“Madzimai Wiseman is not anointed by God. She snatches
married men on the guise that she has received a message from the Angels. After
pronouncing her prophesy she then orders the picked man to remain behind in the
“gwanza” a secluded place for three days to pray.
“When she first came to our village, she was married to my
uncle, God Runoza. They had known each other in Bulawayo where they were
prophesying together because my uncle was also a prophet. Masvingo mirror
