A city woman who allegedly crossed the line and mistreated her longtime "friend" will live to rue the day as the goblin went on a rampage causing mysterious fire at her home destroying only her property.
Nkulumane residents had the opportunity of watching an African movie when a mysterious fire started in a plastic bucket and moved from one place to another at Nomsa Khabo's house;
It is reported that the mysterious fire started on 18 April at around 8am and at first it was only seen by Khabo.
"Khabo is the one who saw the fire burning in a plastic bucket. Surprisingly, she just put out the fire and didn't seem bothered at all to find out what had caused the fire.
"On the same night, I noticed that her room was on fire again and we woke up some neighbours to help put it out. We realised that there was more to the fire because it was jumping from one piece of property to another," said the visibly shocked landlord Tembo.
"The fire burnt only Khabo's property and it did not spread to other rooms despite burning all the electrical wires in her room.
"It seems the fire only 'wanted' to destroy Khabo's property. She lost her bed, wardrobe and clothes. When they put it off at a certain place, it developed somewhere else and if it was a genuine fire, it would have spread to the whole house through electrical wires," he said.
On Monday morning, when B-Metro visited the family, the suspected goblin was burning up the few things Khabo had been left with. Residents who were gathered at the scene revealed that Khabo had brought a prophet to her place who revealed that a goblin had turned its back on her and was responsible for the mysterious fire.
"In the morning, a prophet came here and prophesied that Khabo had a goblin in the house and it was the one causing the mysterious fire.
"Khabo does not want to talk with you, go back to the people who called you and leave us alone," said one of the bouncers.
"Unfortunately, the owner of the house said she is a Christian, therefore, they cannot do a cleansing ceremony at her home, Khabo should take all her property and leave," said a resident who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The landlord' wife, Esnath Tembo, confirmed that she refused to let the prophet do the cleansing saying: "I am a Christian and the prophet revealed that Khabo has a goblin and a cleansing ceremony should be conducted. I told Khabo to take her things and leave because a ritual ceremony cannot be done at my house."
When Khabo was followed at a certain house where she had gone with the prophet, she refused to comment on the issue and locked herself in the house sending out two bouncers who chased away the reporters.
