Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A Nyanga apostolic sect elder allegedly unleashed goblins to terrorise his wife as punishment for leaving his church last year.<\/p>\n

Andrew Feshiti\u2019s wife, 80-year-old Gogo Farasia Feshiti claimed that the goblins have been sexually assaulting her and she has also lost her sight as a result of the spiritual attacks.<\/p>\n

Gogo Feshiti has since approached Chief Saunyama\u2019s court for recourse. Narrating her ordeal before the court, she said:<\/p>\n

I left the church last year after discovering that he possesses goblins. He uses them to gain power within the church and the community at large.<\/p>\n

I also found out that he surrendered one of our daughters as a wife to one of the goblins.<\/p>\n

Because of that, our daughter has been married and widowed three times. I had no option but to quit the church.<\/p>\n

Gogo Farasia also claimed that the goblins \u201crape\u201d her at night and she fears that she will die if she doesn\u2019t get help soon. She said:<\/p>\n

At times they appear like real human beings and sleep with me against my will.<\/p>\n

I have since left my matrimonial home, I\u2019m now staying with my daughter and the goblins have decided to punish me with blindness.<\/p>\n

The goblins tell me point blank that I belong to them and that if I keep resisting their advances, they will kill me.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Feshiti admitted being responsible for his wife\u2019s suffering but assured her that she will be healed if she rejoins the church. Feshiti told the court:<\/p>\n

lf she rejoins our church she will be healed. I will restore her sight when she repents.<\/p>\n

There is a price to pay and in this case, it is her sight. What I have is mightier than what she has and she should not try stopping me, otherwise, she will lose.<\/p>\n

\u2026 I am a holy man and this curse will only be removed if she repents and reverts back to be our church member. God blessed my actions.<\/p>\n

Feshiti warned the court officials against summoning him to the court without seeking his church leaders\u2019 permission first.<\/p>\n

Chief Saunyama has since written a letter to the Johanne Marange Apostolic Church leadership, asking them to allow Feshiti to appear before his court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
