A SOUTHLEA Park woman is attracting scores of expecting mothers seeking safe delivery.

She also says that she assists men who suffer from different ailments.

The self-confessed prophetess, identified as Mai Petro of the St John Apostolic Church, said the Holy spirit tells her what to do.

“Yes, I help pregnant women, children even men here. 

“I use holy water and stones depending on what the Holy Spirit tells me to do,” Mai Petro said.

The prophetess said she operates at her home and adheres to all health precautions in her activities.

“We never approached the Ministry of Health and Child Care, we just operate with the permission of our church leader, he is the one who we listen to, if he tells us to stop then we will.

“However, we do take extra precautions when handling infants, we do buy protective gloves even sanitisers,” she said.

One of the women, who helps Mai Petro, added that they use concoctions for healing infants with fontanelle problems.

“Vana vane nhova vese tinovagadzirira mushonga unosanganisira malemon, cooking oil nemvura inodziya tozvisanganisa mwana anotopora,” said Sekai.
