A SELF-STYLED Chiweshe traditional healer voluntarily surrendered his "zvikwambo" (goblins) to the local chief for destruction on the advice of the police, saying that the magical powers of supernatural creatures had become "too hot" for him to handle.
The goblins, which he reportedly used as mubobobo (magical powers to be intimate with women in their sleep without their awareness and consent) became "uncontrollable" when they allegedly turned to his own daughters and started violating them.
Shocked by the sudden twist of events, the traditional healer last week went to the nearby Glendale Police Station with the intention of surrendering the goblins.
Mashonaland Central police spokesman Inspector Michael Munyikwa yesterday confirmed that Bisweck Phiri of Mavhurambudzi Village, Chief Negomo’s area, wanted to get "rid" of the goblins giving the reason that he had "lost control of them".
Insp Munyikwa said Phiri confessed that the goblins were molesting his daughters and that he was embarrassed by his daughters’ complaints.
Insp Munyikwa said Phiri gave a report detailing how he also used the goblins to "attack his enemies and to fend for his family", including allegedly stealing from other people.
He further disclosed that number of victims became paralysed through the attacks.
The police, however, advised him to surrender his goblins to Chief Negomo as such cases fell under the chief’s jurisdiction.
Phiri went to see Chief Negomo, who then consulted the services of another traditional healer, who is believed to have burnt the creatures.
Last year, a faith healer burnt two goblins which had been recovered from a Glendale man’s house.
The goblins had allegedly caused several deaths in the family after the man had reportedly inherited them in the early 1960s from his brother.
Mubobobo: magical powers to be intimate with women in their sleep without their awareness and consent.
Mubobobo. Good stuff.
It’s like a whole different country over there in Zimbabwe.
Mubobobo.
Mubobobo: Keeping marriages intact since 1445.
Things sure got better over there after they murdered and kicked out all the whites...
Why do I suspect that his daughters will continue to be molested?
What do these goblins look like?
I hate when that happens.
The little SOB's ate all my pistachios. They went away when I purged the house of Adam Sandler movies.
Little furry dimocrats!
Hmmmm mubobobo+ex wife
Which is more insane, the man who believes that goblins are raping his daughters, or the police chief who takes it seriously?
Seriously though, what do these goblins look like? Are they in physical form?
Several deaths in the family since the early sixties? Spooky!
Glendale CA, or Glendale AZ?
Why do I suspect that his daughters will continue to be molested?
I quick google on mubobobo does little to dismiss your theory:
Virgins, Potions, and AIDS in Zimbabwe
What mechanisms have we put in place to protect children at risk of falling victim to rape in their own homes, those who have been raped by their fathers, or who become victims of Mubobobo?” Mubobobo is an increasingly popular potion sold by herbalists that can supposedly render a man invisible or otherwise allow him to have sex with a woman without her knowledge. Some customers believe that they cannot contract or spread venereal diseases through Mubobobo-assisted sex.
Police have to take these things seriously.
My uncle (Sherrif, rural Texas county) had to occassionally perform ghost exorcisms with a local priest for some crazies.
But for the "exorcisms" the people would go crazy(ier) and present a real danger to themselves and others.
