Two victims of robberies have clashed with a sangoma who claims he has the power to send bees to recover stolen items.
A Concession
farmer, who lost his equipment and inputs, says he was asked to pay US$600 by a
Ruwa sangoma, identified only as Sekuru Muzura.
Another
businessman, identified as Makonza, clashed with Sekuru Muzura’s security
personnel as he was demanding his refund of US$400, after the sangoma’s
‘‘bees’’ failed to help him recover his lost property.
“Sekuru
Muzura’s claims are fake, he has no such bees which he claims has the power to
locate my stolen property and force the robber to return my goods,” said
Makonza.
“After waiting
for the given period, nothing materialised and I realised I had suffered a
double loss. “Ukabirwa unorwadziwa zvekuti unofunga kuti dai akubira
arwadziswawo uye adzose zvese.
“Sekuru Muzura
decided to cash on us saying he has some spiritual powers.
“It is bad to
do such a thing to our fellow countryman and we do not know how many others
have been duped that way.
“I clashed with
Sekuru Muzura’s aides as I was demanding my refund,” said Makonza.
When H-Metro
called Sekuru Muzura for his side of the story, his aide demanded a
consultation fee of US$100.
He later said:
“Muzukuru wangu tinobatsira vakawanda zvekuti handichaziva vamurikuti vakauya
vakasabatsirwa.
“Sekuru
varimumatare ndichavasvitsa shoko.”
A number of
people have been posting a photograph of a man, whose body is covered with some
‘‘bees,’’ claiming that the ‘bees’ were sent to recover stolen goods.
However, this
image has no connection with the fallout between Sekuru Muzura and his two
clients.
Meanwhile,
police in Harare have noted an increasing number of unlawful entry and theft
from car cases.
“Police have
noted with concern an increase in the number of unlawful entries and theft from
car cases,” said provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza.
“We continue to
urge people to avoid leaving their valuables in parked cars as well as keeping
large volumes of money in homes.
“We are
experiencing cold weather conditions and thieves have been taking advantage of
this by breaking into homes.” H Metro
