A traditional healer who claims to be the son of the late
famed Chipinge traditional Sangoma Ndunge has appeared in court after he
allegedly disappeared with a client’s car which he later wrecked in an
accident.
Godknows Mugumi of Mkoba 13 who is facing a charge of theft
pleaded not guilty when he appeared before magistrate Thomas Gurajena. He
argued that he was approached by the complainant who wanted some goblins from
him so that she could become rich.
He told the court that the complainant paid him some money
towards the goblins and in addition he was given the Toyota Noah and the
registration book as surety that the client would pay the remainder once the
goblins started giving her some money.
It is the State case that on July 3, 2019 Mugumi of Mkoba
13 was approached by a 27 year old woman (name withheld) asking for some
goblins so that she could raise money.
The accused indicated that he was willing to supply the
goblins but he wanted to be paid. He was however paid an undisclosed figure and
was also given a Toyota Noah together with the registration book as surety that
the client will pay his money in full after the ritual starts pouring in money.
The accused allegedly took the car to Rusape were he was
involved in an accident and for days his client could not reach him so she got
worried and reported to the Police.
She told the Police that Mgumi was using her car without permission. He was
remanded out of custody. Masvingo Mirror
