Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The late Mutare-based socialite Obert Karombe\u2018s burial has sparked controversy after it emerged that he was buried at night.<\/p>\n

Many were left wondering what could have caused his family to bury him \u2018late\u2019 using torches with some concluding that there might be \u2018black magic\u2019 involved.<\/p>\n

However, Obert Karombe\u2019s family is yet to issue a statement on the issue.<\/p>\n

Some said, traditionally, Kings were the ones who were buried at night, not common souls.<\/p>\n

Obert Karombe died in a car accident whilst travelling with his girlfriend last weekend.<\/p>\n

His girlfriend who uses the name @mamagirl_aley on Instagram survived the crash but is reported to be suffering from a broken spine.<\/p>\n

Following his death, some people sympathised with him while others suggested he used black magic.<\/p>\n

To support the black magic argument, some used a story reported by H-Metro reported that two years ago in which a bolt of lightning struck his cattle, at his Beatrice farm, killing 15 beasts.<\/p>\n

The incident happened at 4 pm.<\/p>\n

Karombe is said to have disposed of the beasts by burying them.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Christ Redemption Ministries International pastor Prophet Mellontik Orasi has claimed that he had seen Karombe\u2019s death and warned him but the Mutare-based socialite ignored and mocked him saying he hangs out with real prophets.<\/p>\n
