Madzibaba sends ghost to have sex with ex-lover

Parishioners at a Bulawayo apostolic sect were shocked after one of their own confessed to having sent a ghost on a number of times to have sex with his ex-lover, who is also a member of the church.

Madzibaba Gundani allegedly made the confession after the woman who had been subjected to abuse by his forces of the underworld told the gathering that she was having sleepless nights and needed prayers.

A source said the incident took place at the sect's base in Pumula South over the weekend. On narrating her story, the elders are said to have agreed that she needed prayers

"She told elders that on a number of times, she had felt someone having sex with her while whispering words that she did not understand but when she woke up there would be no one on top of her," said the source.

It is reported that while one of the prophets was praying, Madzibab Gundani suddenly sprung up from where he was sitting and shouldered the blame for the woman's woes. He is said to have told the gathering that he had sent a ghost to 'haunt' the woman because he was bitter over sour ending of their relationship.

Asked by the prophet to elaborate on what he meant by 'haunting', Madzibaba Gundani said whenever the ghost was having sex with the woman, he would be the one enjoying.

"The man is respected within the church and no one can think he is capable of doing such things. It is just shocking," added the source.

The Christian-cum-peddler of evil spirits also said he was finding it hard to comprehend the ending of his relationship with the woman as it ended before they could formalise it.

"He did not hide that he was bitter and said the woman had robbed him of a chance of having her as his wife. Madzibaba Gundani got the ghost making juju from a traditional healer. People always say bad things about traditional healers but they are quick to rush to them when they have problems," said the source.

After making the confession, Madzibaba Gundani was reportedly subjected to rigorous prayers as a way of cleansing him of the demonic spirit. The source said the man is still undergoing cleansing.

When reached for comment, the woman who was allegedly raped by a ghost referred all questions to the elders of the church.

"I don't have anything to say. Talk to church elders," she said.

An elder at the sect confirmed the incident after being pressed hard by the news crew, though he begged for anonymity.

"This is a sensitive issue and I don't want to say anything further," he said.
