A "breathing" horn has been identified as the source of a fire that has been ravaging the property of a family from Mlomoliwoto village in Umzingwane District.
With the help of prophets from The Apostolic Church of God and Universe, the horn was located in a vase breathing with sparks.
However, their relief was not that easy because the horn is said to have resisted their attempts of burning it.
"The prophets went to the homestead and after praying they discovered the horn which was burning property.
"When they tried to burn it, the fire would mysteriously die out and even after pouring diesel it still failed.
"After using cow dung, the horn finally burnt to ashes and the Malunga family had peace at their home for only two days," said a villager who spoke on condition of anonymity.
It is said that after those two peaceful days, the mysterious fire returned with a bang as it now even burns property outside the huts unlike before when it was only targeting property inside huts.
"It has turned out that burning of that mysterious horn has made things worse as the fire now burns clothes and property inside and outside huts.
"It is now really scary, at least before the family managed to relax after taking everything outside the huts, but now it's no longer the case," said the source.
When Prophet Khawulani Ntini was contacted for comment, he confirmed that they tried to help one of their congregants.
"We visited the Malunga family and burnt a mysterious horn. I understand that the fire started again after two days and is now haunting them so we will be having all night prayers at the homestead next weekend," he said.
Malunga revealed that they had sought help from different places, but still no change.
"We do not understand why this is happening to our family. We have been seeking help here and there, but still it's getting worse.
"We have now run out of ideas and hope one day this thing will be over as it has burnt all our property and clothes," said Malunga.
