Woman found fully naked on her brother-in-law’s veranda at ungodly hours on countless occasions‼️

A bizarre family dispute involving accusations of staged spiritual manifestations, nudity, and wizardry has spilled into the public arena, leaving a village in Mutasa District divided and Chief Mutasa himself struggling to untangle the web of accusations. 

The feud centres around Andrew Kasambira, his younger brother Takudzwa Kasambira, and Takudzwa’s wife, Margaret Muzumba, with claims of nocturnal naked appearances and dark magic fuelling the conflict.

The extraordinary saga unfolded at Chief Mutasa’s community court last week, where Andrew Kasambira dragged his brother and sister-in-law, accusing Muzumba of repeatedly appearing naked on his veranda at ungodly hours, claiming to be possessed by a strange spirit. Andrew told the court that these incidents had become a source of immense humiliation and confusion for his family, as villagers were now consumed by gossip about the macabre drama unfolding at his homestead.

“All this started after my brother’s child became sick while he was in Grade One years ago, and since then, my brother and his wife have accused me of causing it,” Andrew explained to the court. He recounted a particularly unsettling incident: “One day, I was shocked to find his wife on my veranda manifesting, claiming that it was the spirit of my late aunt. She claimed that I had killed someone and cast the deceased’s spirit on my brother’s child. She said I went to Nyanga with traditional healers to silence the deceased man’s spirit, yet we had gone there to get medicine for my then ill brother.”

Andrew emphasised that the alleged spiritual possessions were always accompanied by nudity and, crucially, only occurred at his homestead. “On different occasions, we have found her naked at night on my veranda. She will be motionless, and when we try to wake her up, she acts as if she is possessed. Sometimes when she ‘manifests,’ she claims it is our late mother speaking through her. I believe she is stage-managing everything, because why does this only happen at my place?” he questioned, his voice laced with frustration.

The strange behaviour, Andrew claimed, had ignited endless quarrels within the family, with Takudzwa and Margaret relentlessly blaming him for their child’s persistent illness.

Responding to the accusations, Margaret Muzumba admitted to the court that she had indeed been manifesting but insisted that these episodes had ceased. “I was manifesting for a whole month, but I have stopped. During that time, my child was very ill, and we were told that the problem was linked to my husband’s brother. But up to now, my child is still not well,” she stated, her words hinting at a deeper, unresolved issue.

Takudzwa Kasambira corroborated his wife’s claims, asserting that there was more to his child’s illness than met the eye. He then launched a counter-accusation, accusing his brother Andrew of engaging in wizardry. He cited a disturbing incident in which Andrew allegedly slaughtered a five-day-old goat and fed the meat to children. “I am the one who accused my brother of causing my child’s sickness because he slaughtered a kid and cooked it. He gave it to our children, but only mine got sick afterwards,” Takudzwa declared.

He further dredged up a decades-old incident, adding fuel to the fire. “In 1999, he was arrested as a suspect in a murder case. Yes, he was exonerated, but our sister told us that charms were used to secure his freedom. Indeed, he killed that man, and now the spirit is haunting us,” Takudzwa alleged, his voice filled with conviction.

Andrew vehemently denied the accusations of wizardry and insisted that he had been cleared of the murder charges many years ago. He argued that his family was now using the old case to vilify him and deflect from the real issues. “I was arrested on attempted murder charges back then, but the complainant testified that I was not one of the attackers. He later died from the injuries, and I was exonerated. The real killers were arrested and served their jail terms. Now every time something bad happens, my family says it is my fault, that I am being haunted by that dead man’s spirit, which is not true,” Andrew retorted.

He doubled down on his assertion that his brother and sister-in-law were fabricating the spiritual attacks to publicly humiliate him. “If she really manifests, why does it happen only at my homestead, and not at her own home? Why must she come naked to my verandah in the middle of the night? This is not a manifestation, it is deliberate,” he stated, his voice rising with indignation.

As tempers flared and accusations flew, Chief Mutasa intervened, expressing his scepticism about the claims and pointing out inconsistencies in the family’s narrative. “There are too many loopholes in this matter. You are saying your late mother’s spirit is manifesting through your daughter-in-law, which is very unusual. Normally, spirits do not possess in-laws in that way,” Chief Mutasa observed, his brow furrowed with concern.

He further expressed his deep concern about the alleged nakedness, emphasising that such behaviour bordered on public indecency and could not be tolerated, regardless of whether it was genuinely spiritual or not. “If indeed she is found naked and unconscious on someone’s verandah, that is a serious transgression. If it is real, you need help. But if it is staged, then you are playing with fire,” he warned, his voice stern.

Seeking to de-escalate the situation and guide the family towards a resolution, Chief Mutasa urged them to set aside their differences and seek collective spiritual guidance to determine the true cause of their child’s sickness and the bizarre incidents plaguing their lives. “You must consult genuine healers together as a family. Accusing each other without proof will destroy you all. Find the truth through proper spiritual channels, and bring peace to your home,” he advised, his words carrying the weight of traditional wisdom.

He further cautioned that without unity and a shared commitment to finding the truth, the family risked worsening their misfortunes. “Consult together, not in small groups. That is the only way to get the same answers and healing. Do not use accusations to fight each other, this is a family matter that needs wisdom and honesty,” he implored.

Ultimately, the court advised both parties to consult a traditional healer and return with a unified report, hoping that a shared understanding of the spiritual forces at play could pave the way for reconciliation and healing within the fractured family. The community now awaits the outcome of this consultation, hoping that it will bring an end to the unsettling drama and restore peace to the village.
