Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A man from Zimre Park in Masvingo has reported to the police a Ugandan self-proclaimed traditional healer who allegedly defrauded him of US$14 000.<\/p>\n

Jaison Mandivengerei (49) allegedly lost the cash to Sikayuba Abdu (44) during a money ritual, with the latter allegedly buying a BMW vehicle and opening an office in Chinhoyi using the proceeds.<\/p>\n

Abdu appeared before Masvingo Magistrate Patience Madondo on Friday and was remanded to 26 August 2021.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Rejoice Takuva told the court that on 1 July 2021, Mandivengerei came across a pamphlet inscribed \u201cSEKURU JAMIL ZEN International Registered Healer or Herbalist\u201d and he contacted the accused for spiritual assistance.<\/p>\n

Mandivengerei and Abdu, who resides at Luciana Flats in Chinhoyi, agreed to meet at the accused\u2019s office near Landmark Bar in the CBD in Masvingo.<\/p>\n

Abdu told the complainant that his money was being stolen by evil spirits and assured him that he could help him recover the millions he had lost.<\/p>\n

On 4 July the accused said he wanted to do a spiritual healing process which needed US$11 000.<\/p>\n

The money was put in a red cash box and locked inside and handed over to the complaint with orders not to open it.<\/p>\n

At 10 pm, the accused called the complainant and told him to return the cash box since he had completed the first stage of the ritual.<\/p>\n

On 5 July, the complainant went to the accused person\u2019s office and handed back the red cash box and it is alleged the accused swapped the red boxes and gave Mandivengerei a different box which he instructed him not to open for seven days.<\/p>\n

On 6 July, the accused told the complainant to deposit R50 000 into his South African CAPITEC Bank account for ancestors to do the final cleansing at the Limpopo River.<\/p>\n

Mandivengerei instructed his friend Christopher Hendrick to deposit the Rands into the accused\u2019s South African account.<\/p>\n

The accused asked the complainant to meet him at his Landmark office the following day but he was nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n

Abdul allegedly switched off his mobile and blocked the complainant on WhatsApp.<\/p>\n

That was when Mandivengerei forced open the red box only to find RTGS$2 000 inside. He filed a police report.<\/p>\n

Investigations led to the arrest of the accused last Wednesday in Chinhoyi town where he had opened a new office.<\/p>\n

Nothing was recovered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
