43-year-old policeman Ndumiso Malinga, from Duduza, Ekurhuleni, SA, claims he turns into a zombie every night.
He apparently took a bribe from a traditional healer and he says that his head is now filled with voices in his head.
"A sangoma gave me R50 and said I must buy myself a cold drink," he said. "For the past two years I have not slept properly because I hear the voice of the sangoma calling me."
He said the voice gives him evil instructions, even instructing him to kill people.
"I have resisted the instructions. I am not a killer, but I am scared that one day I will do what the voice tells me," he said.
He said shortly after the traditional healer gave him money, his right side was suddenly paralysed and he started hearing the voice.
"I don't know how I got there but I found myself at his house.
"He gave me muthi to drink and burnt other muthi," said Ndumiso.
"The sangoma's voice started giving me instructions about what to do and who to harm."
Ndumiso said after midnight, his house got really hot and he started to sweat. He said the traditional healer instructed him to take off his clothes while he was running.
"He wanted me to hurt and kill people, even people that I know," said Ndumiso.
"The voice directed me to a house and told me to kill everyone that I found there.
"I have found myself at the front doors of people I was sent to kill but I have always turned away."
He said that one time he found himself outside his colleague's house and that is when he realised that he was undressed and what he was about to do.
He said the traditional healer kept on feeding him more muthi and told him he was being trained to be a zombie.
"I ended up giving that sangoma my savings of R100 000," he said.
"I have also spent a lot of money trying to get my life and freedom back."
Ndumiso said his family moved him back to KZN and tried to find help for him but he still heard the voices.
He said that he goes to prayer meetings every night because he finds a little bit of peace when he is around worshippers.
"And I have even had to go back home and have a ceremony to plead with my ancestors to free me from this hell," said Ndumiso, who could in actual fact be simply suffering from mental illness.
