A CHIGODORA elderly woman who was bedridden and used a wheelchair for a year has died before her ex-lover could reverse the sex lock spell (runyoka) he allegedly cast on her for ending their affair.
Recently, Gogo Maundu appeared before Headman Chigodora’s court, pleading for assistance to reverse the curse.
She accused Edmund Maziwei of “fixing” her through runyoka, when she terminated their relationship.
Headman Chigodora confirmed Gogo Maundu’s death.
He said Maziwei vehemently denied casting a spell on Gogo Maundu when they appeared before his court.
“Gogo Maundu passed away last Saturday night after she had appeared before my court on Saturday afternoon. She was suffering from runyoka, but Maziwei denied being behind it.
In fact, Maziwei vehemently denied ever being in a relationship with Gogo Maundu. For that reason, he said he was not in a position to perform any ritual to set Gogo Maundu free from the spell.
“I had to force Maziwei to conduct the ritual, but, unfortunately, Gogo Maundu passed away before it could be done,” said headman Chigodora.
During her court appearance, Gogo Maundu insisted that Maziwei had the remedy to her ailment.
She said she dated the married Maziwei for a year and later decided to end their relationship.
“I dated him for a year from 2021 to 2022. He would come and see me at my house since he is married. I later realised that our relationship was not working and terminated it.
“He did not want to let go and threatened me with unknown consequences. I started feeling unwell, but never thought he could be behind the ailment.
“I went from one hospital to the other, trying to find a cure for my ailment, all in vain. My children took me for X-rays to no avail. The doctors could not establish what was wrong with me,” she said.
Gogo Maundu then consulted traditional healers and was told that Maziwei was behind her ailment.
She was told that only her ex-lover could heal her by immersing his belt in water and giving her that water to drink.
“I visited three spiritual healers and three prophets. They said Maziwei put runyoka on me. This is why I cannot walk now and I am struggling with my health.
“I want to be healed and I am prepared to appease him because my health is deteriorating with each passing day,” said Gogo Maundu.
She also said she even sent her grandchildren as emissaries to Maziwei, but they came back empty-handed.
“I have sent my grandchildren thrice to engage Maziwei, but he is not budging. He does not want to help me. He is enjoying my suffering.
“I know it was wrong to date a married man, but the punishment is unbearable,” she said. — Manica Post
Disgruntled employee sabotages company
A man from Bulawayo has been hauled before the courts, facing malicious damage to property charges after he allegedly poured sugar into a company vehicle’s engine.
Roy Bonga, who was employed by Small Dot Logistics in Bulawayo, is said to have poured sugar into a vehicle’s engine after being summoned for a hearing. As if that was not enough, Bonga is also alleged to have stolen the truck’s gearbox.
Bonga pleaded guilty to the two counts of theft and malicious damage to property, when he appeared before a Bulawayo magistrate.
On the first count of theft, he was sentenced to perform 420 hours of community service and on the second count of malicious damage to property, he was ordered to pay a fine of US$200.
When asked by the magistrate why he committed the offences, he said his employer had not paid his dues.
The court heard that on April 13, Bonga returned from a delivery and received a message from Christiana Masenda to report to the manager in Harare for a hearing.
Bonga, soon after acknowledging the message, parked the truck and went away with an unknown woman.
The next day, a new driver assigned to replace him came and was shown the truck, and while doing some checks, the driver, Erick Chakanyuka, discovered that there were some sugar grains that had been poured into the engine.
Chakanyuka then notified Masenda and they checked the whole truck. That is when they also discovered that the gearbox had been stolen. — B-Metro
