In a bizarre incident that resembles scenes from a Nollywood
script, an Esigodini man allegedly bewitched his girlfriend leading to
her having a continuous menstrual flow. The alleged
black magic practice was reportedly "prescribed" as punishment for lying
to him that she was having his baby. The incident which sent shivers
down the spines of villagers occurred sometime last month. It is
reported that Caleb Dube took his girlfriend's cheating and defrauding
antics the hard way and went to the extent of going traditional by
allegedly bewitching her.
It is alleged that in May 2008,
Nomalanga Ndiweni in a bid to defraud her boyfriend Dube who was based
in South Africa faked pregnancy and demanded money to buy items in
preparation for the baby and the unsuspecting Dube complied. After nine
months, Nomalanga again phoned Dube informing him that she had
conceived
a bouncing baby boy before asking him to send more money for the upkeep
of the child and its minder. The two agreed that Nomalanga would go to
her boyfriend's South African base whenever Caleb wanted to see his
child.
It is alleged that the seemingly infertile Nomalanga took
her friend's child to South Africa every time she was visiting Caleb
claiming that the child in question was his. Years reportedly passed by
with Nomalanga using the same modus operandi until her friend left the
village to move in with her husband in Gweru. When Caleb asked his lover
to visit him with the baby, Nomalanga turned down the invitation giving
various excuses prompting Caleb to come back home. Upon his return
Caleb got the shock of his life when he was told by other villagers that
he was duped by Nomalanga who made him believe that her friend's baby
was his.
It is further reported that Caleb confronted his
girlfriend who failed to explain the whereabouts of the child. Caleb
reportedly did not take the matter kindly and sought traditional help as
revenge and Nomalanga is reportedly continuously dripping menstrual
blood.
When contacted for comment Caleb expressed his deepest
anger and had no kind words for his "greedy" girlfriend whom he
described as a gold digger.
"I am deeply hurt by what she did. I
slept over the issue and saw it wise to go to a traditional healer to
get my revenge and this is exactly what I did," he said.
When
our news crew visited the Ndiweni family, her mother was in a state of
shock to talk about the incident and asked Caleb to pardon her daughter.
"It is hard to cope with the situation. We pray and hope that Caleb
will find it in his heart to forgive my child. At the moment we have
taken her to a traditional healer in Chipinge," she said
