Did you know therea��s a link between onea��s private parts and their stomach? Of course therea��s no link, silly!
But a Gokwe Madzibaba thought he would get away with that lie when he inserted his hand into a clienta��s privates as a way of a�?curinga�? stomach pains.
Kennias Mapiko, the self-styled healer from Kamhororo village under Chief Nemangwe, allegedly shoved his hand into a juvenilea��s private parts claiming there was growth in her stomach that resulted in her developing a bulging tummy.
A source told B-Metro that the 16 -year-old girl (name withheld) had severe cramps during her monthly periods.
As a result she developed a swollen tummy like that of a pregnant woman. Her parents took her to different doctors but the condition didna��t change and they ended up falling right on the propheta��s radar.
a�?She had severe stomach pains and at times would miss school due to unbearable period pains. Her mother decided to take her to a prophet. Upon arrival at Madzibabaa��s homestead, Mapiko told them it was not period pains as they thought but there was some stuff inside her uterus which needed to be removed,a�? said a source.
They believed the prophet had a solution but little did they know what was up.
a�?He inserted his hand in the juvenilea��s privates before pulling out a chunk of meat which he said was the cause of the sickness. Since then the girl has been experiencing excruciating pain and her mother believes it is a result of the propheta��s doing,a�? added the source.
When contacted for comment Chief Nemangwe confirmed the incident.
a�?That is unacceptable behaviour by the prophet. Prophets should help people and not harm them. He is not even a medical doctor so why would he remove a chunk of meat form a person. Surprisingly he is not sorry and he believes he had every right to do what he did,a�? said Chief Nemangwe.
Madzibaba Mapiko told B-Metro that he was on point.
a�?There is nothing wrong with what I did, it was part of my job as a prophet and a healer. Even in hospitals male doctors treat female patients and there is nothing wrong with inserting a hand if the need arises,a�? said Mapiko.
