'We can raise the dead but...' witch hunters claim

A gang of Binga witch hunters claim to have  powers to raise the dead on condition that one would have died  to witchcraft.

The leader of the group - Baba Maponga has been calling on villagers at Echisuma village to gather where he and his team have set up base.

"They claim to have powers to raise all the dead people who were  bewitched' said a villager Wilbert Ziyambe.

Despite it being  too good to be true, villagers are kept away by witch hunter's steep charges.

"As it is, villagers are reluctant to consult them because of steep consultation fees as they demand two head of cattle.

"The other thing,  people doubt their authenticity saying if they really have powers why not attend funeral gatherings and raise the dead before everyone" added Ziyambe.

However, Baba Maponga is adamant that he has power to pull a miracle.

"Yes, we know that with our powers we can even raise the dead .

"At times people assume that their relatives are dead when infact the witches will have turned them into goblins. Those are the type of dead people we are targeting,".

But he says no family has approached them so they are yet to test their powers.
