A Harare married man is living in fear for his life as he claims that his wife is using holy water to have total control of his life.

Tenson Karasha is at odds with his wife - Belinda Shambira who in turn also accused his hubby of consulting traditional healers.

Tenson has dragged his wife to court seeking a protection order.

"A traditional healer told me that she had gone to a shrine where she was given some holy water.

"The holy water was to be used so that she takes control of me. I went to consult a traditional healer after I fell sick each time I ate the food she had prepared," said Tenson before magistrate Trevor Nyatsanza.

In turn Belinda said "I go to an apostolic church. One prophet revealed to me that my husband was in a habit of using juju to have control over the family.

"He consults traditional healers too and they end up lying to him. That is when I was given the holy water that I was to use so that the spirit won't haunt the family,' she said.

The magistrate advised the couple to solve their issues amicably.
