THE Nyanga teenager, who narrates the ordeal of a woman murdered for ritual purposes by her husband, is today (Friday) expected to lead the families to the site.
Chief Saunyama, who is presiding over the case, told The Manica Post that the teenager is expected to lead the concerned families to the site where the woman's remains were buried in a shallow grave.
"Yes, we are expecting the teenager to lead the court to the site where the woman's remains were buried in a shallow grave. We are also expecting both the Mavhunga and Mandikonza families to be present when the case is before the court," he said.
After having been murdered for ritual purposes by her husband almost 45 years ago, a Nyanga woman is now demanding reparations from her husband's Mandikonza family in Nyanga.
The Mavhunga family was recently left stunned at Chief Saunyama's court in Nyatate area of Nyanga North when a female teenager possessed with the spirit of the late Tanganza Mavhunga demanded reparations and threatened to ruthlessly deal with the Mandikonzas.
The late Tanganza, who was married to the late Jack Mandikonza, manifested herself through a female teenager as she chronicled how she was cold-bloodedly murdered by her husband.
All hell broke loose recently when the possessed teenager walked for more than 10km from her home and went straight to sit in the ruins of the homestead where the deceased Jack Mandikonza used to stay with his late wife, Tanganza.
As she narrated Tanganza's ordeal at the hands of her husband during the court session last Friday, the possessed teenager pledged to show the Mavhunga and Manikonza families the shallow grave where her remains were buried by her late husband.
"My relatives, you ought to know what happened. One day I packed my clothes and went away from Jack Mandikonza's homestead.
"As I was walking, about a few metres from the homestead, Jack followed me. He grabbed my hand and demanded that we should go back home. I refused. Since it was dark, he instantly took a knife and cut the lower parts of my breasts and went on to cut off my private parts.
"My relatives, I beg you not to touch anything that belongs to the Mandikonzas. My husband's brothers Cosmas, Webster, Lazarus and Oliver bought cars and livestock after they used my body parts for rituals.
"I will wreck havoc very soon in the Mandikonza family and I plead with you my relatives not to touch anything that belongs to the Mandikonza family.
"When you are ready, I can guide you to the place where Jack buried me near Nyanga Downs between two big rocks. That is where I have been lying since Jack murdered me. They made a fortune out of my blood, but I will deal with them," fumed the possessed teenager.
In his ruling, Chief Saunyama adjourned the matter to this Friday (today) after summoning the Mandikonza family representatives.
