A 23-year-old Cowdray Park woman, Ruvarashe Tsaura claims that she gave birth to a baby after being pregnant for 14 months.
Tsaura of 11559 Cowdray Park suburb, alleged she was a victim of witchcraft after going out with a married man and only managed to break the spell after consulting members of the Zion Church. The named lover, also of Cowdray Park, denied fathering the baby, claiming it was born way after the expected time.
Miss Tsaura has become the talk of the suburb as residents claim that the 4,3 kilogramme baby girl she delivered at Mpilo Hospital at about 3am on 21 July had teeth.
When News Crew visited Miss Tsaura on Friday, she confirmed the issue and blamed it on witchcraft.
However, she denied that the baby had teeth.
"When I went to the doctors for scan, I was shocked as they told me that the foetus had no head. I thought I was pregnant with a goblin. The father of the baby denied responsibility as he expected me to deliver the baby in January. He accused me of cheating on him," said Mrs Tsaura.
She said she gave birth to baby girl after consulting members of the Zion Church who told her that her lover's wife stole her panties twice in September and February to bewitch her.
When contacted for comment, the man admitted that he once had an affair with Miss Tsaura but denied that he had impregnated her.
"I was in love with her from April last year when my wife and children were on holiday in Harare. She revealed in May that she was pregnant with my baby.
"I was convinced that it was mine but things changed as her delivery time did not run with my expectation as she gave birth in July instead of January. So I dumped her when one of my sources told me an imbiber in Solusi was responsible for the pregnancy," said the man.
He accused Miss Tsaura of trying to damage his reputation by lying to the people and accusing his wife of bewitching her resulting in her being pregnant for 14 months, instead of the normal nine.
