A TRADITIONAL healer from Gokwe South has called an emergency meeting
with his subjects following a bizarre incident in which 26 females
including schoolgirls in his area woke up and found themselves without
panties.
The missing panties were later discovered this week in Njelele Village
under Chief Njelele, spreading panic among the villagers.
Chief Njelele confirmed the incident and said he had since reported
the matter to Gokwe Police Station.
The traditional leader said he had also called for an emergency
meeting to chart the way forward with his subjects.
"What happened in my area is so scary and everyone is in a state of
shock and panic. I have called for a meeting with my subjects in the
two villages where the incident occurred and I am scheduled to meet
them so that we chart the way forward," he said.
Chief Njelele said on Wednesday morning last week, the majority of
women under village heads Pauro and Charisekera woke up and found
themselves without panties.
The traditional leader said the owners from the two villages had
positively identified theirpanties.
"After we reported the matter to the police at Gokwe Police Station,
17 women from Pauro and Charisekera who mysteriously lost their
panties positively identified their garments inthe presence of the
police. The remaining panties have not been identified maybe because
of their state. Police, however, recorded 26 complaints from the
village which tallies with the number of panties which were found in
the bush," he said.
Chief Njelele said he would soon engage the police to allow him to
conduct a witch- hunting ceremony following the incident.
"While we have reported the matter to the police so that they conduct
their investigations, I will also ask the police to allow us to invite
the tsikamutandas so that we can conduct a witch-hunting ceremony," he
said.
"Many subjects in my area are not against thetsikamutandas'
operations. What they want these traditional healers to do is to
identify the trouble causer in the community and then allow the chief
to convict and fine these trouble causers instead of themselves going
around demanding cattle from the people they would have accused of
practising witchcraft."
Police in Gokwe confirmed the incident.
