MYSTERY and mysticism shrouds stories about the world of the departed and incarnation.
For most that have not come across a manifestation experienced by the departed, it comes as a mere folk story, whereas those that have experienced it first hand, it will forever remain etched in their head.
Last Sunday at acting Chief Zimunya’s court, in a macabre real-life drama, a Mutare Polytechnic College lecturer, Lizzie Bepete-Karume, revealed that she was being tormented by the spirit of her departed mother that seeks appeasement for over a year now.
Like in most cases of incarnation, the victims are always innocent and mere message deliverers, but they get to suffer if no immediate action is taken by the family or the perpetrators.
The spirit of the departed mother, identified as Juliet Kondai-Bepete, seeks appeasement and claims she was murdered by her husband’s brother’s wife Dorcas Bepete.
The spirit which has been manifesting on her is now troubling the lecturer and threatening to destroy her marriage as she cannot go to work.
Last Sunday was now the second time they appeared at Chief Zimunya’s court.
On September 28, Chief Zimunya had instructed the father, Bauline Bepete, to bring his wife Dorcas, to answer to the allegations levelled against her so that the spirit may be appeased.
They had been instructed to come back last Sunday only to disappointingly come back without Dorcas, who was said to have refused to attend the court in the absence of her relatives.
In her manifestation, Lizzie revealed that Dorcas had consulted a traditional healer to make her husband Bauline and another brother Jethro indisposed.
She said Dorcas was also afraid that the truth would be revealed about how she poisoned her at church which led to her death.
“Do not blame Bauline and Jethro because Dorcas has cast a spell on them to incapacitate them.
“Dorcas consulted a traditional healer and actually wanted to kill the youngest brother, Joseph, who has been the most vocal about solving this matter.
“She even tried to suppress my spirit from coming out today (last Sunday) at the court, but I conquered. (Musaswere kunetsana naBauline naJethro vakagadzirwa. Dorcas akafamba. Aida kutouraya babamunini Joseph. Tarisai mbonje iri kugotsi kwavo. Idombo rakavatema richida kuvauraya. Dorcas aida zvakare kuti mudzimu usabude nhasi pano padare asi mishonga yake yaramba),” said Lizzie in her manifestation.
Family members present begged Chief Zimunya to hasten the matter because Lizzie risked losing her job if she did not regain her full bill of health soon.
Lizzie’s husband also said her trances and manifestations were scaring the children and destroying his relations with his in-laws who had been dragging their feet to resolve the matter.
Chief Zimunya requested for $10 transport money for his aide to travel to Marange to subpoena Dorcas’ relatives to attend a court hearing on November 9.
Bauline was again instructed to bring his wife to court on the day, while all the concerned family members were also requested to be present.
