There are reports that a father died and left his child (age and gender unknown) two big snakes, which have continued to trouble the child who was forced to seek help from prophets.
It is unclear where this incident happened but it could be somewhere in Zimbabwe because the narrator of the events speaks Shona.
Cases of witch-hunters, popularly known as Tsikamutandas, who dupe residents of their hard earned money and livestock claiming to be casting out goblins and evil spirits, have been rampant across Zimbabwe.
Most of the Tsikamutandas use snakes to allege that a person is a witch.
Recently, a top government official urged police and headmen to flush out and arrest all witch-hunters.
Matabeleland North Provincial Affairs minister, Cain Mathema, was quoted by a daily newspaper saying: "Tsikamutandas must be arrested. We don't want those people here. Who are they to tell people that they are witches and wizards?"
