A Harare woman yesterday appeared in court on allegations
of defrauding another woman US$500 and $200 in a botched cleansing ceremony.
Tendai Jeke (29) of 2713 Glen Norah A was facing fraud
charges when she appeared before Mbare magistrate Mrs Elizabeth Mugomera. She
pleaded not guilty to the charges
Jeke was granted $100 bail.
As part of her bail conditions, Jeke was ordered to reside at her given
address and not to interfere with State witnesses.
Allegations are that during the month of April this year,
the accused misrepresented to Veronica Matenga of 7241/011 Western Triangle
Highfields that she was sent by a traditional healer Peter Rakandwa to collect
US$500 and RTGS$200 as payment for cleansing evil spirits on her.
It is the State’s case that in May 2019 Matenga went
Rakandwa’s residence where he told her that he did not send Jeke to collect the
money since he was not aware that the complainant was possessed by evil
spirits. Herald
