WHILE mubobobo is commonly associated with men who want to
engage in “remote” sex with women, a rare case has been suspected in Irisvale
in Umzingwane District, Matabeleland South
where a woman was found with the muthi.
The woman was found with the alleged mubobobo after the
local traditional leadership hired a tsikamutanda to cleanse the area after a
spate of suspected witchcraft incidents.
The woman, Ms Mahlezi Dube told Sunday News that, however,
her mubobobo was used to suck power from men than having remote sex with them.
She said she inherited the muthi from her parents claiming she had been using
it for the purposes of regaining her supernatural powers.
“I used to get supernatural powers using the muthi. In fact
I would suck power from men and start behaving like a man,” she said.
Irisvale village head Mr Mehluli Ndlovu confirmed the
incident and said he had to invite the tsikamutandas to cleanse the village
after many cases of suspected goblins attacks.
“Yes, it is true that there were villagers caught with
creatures suspected to be goblins which they used to torment people in the
middle of the night. One of the cases involved a woman who was found with
umbobobo,” he said.
Another villager, Mrs Ottiliah Ncube was reportedly found
with a creature believed to be a goblin which looked like a monkey and was
wrapped in a cloth. Ms Ncube’s son, Mr Thabisa Ncube said he believed her
mother was involved in witchcraft since the supernatural creatures were exposed
in front of the whole village.
However, over the years, there has been an increase in the
number of fake tsikamutandas preying on villagers, making them pay large sums of money and even
through livestock under the pretext that they were capable of removing goblins.
