A nightmarish scenario has been plaguing three families in St-Peters, a neighborhood on the outskirts of Bulawayo, near Old Pumula. For the past week, these families have been subjected to relentless attacks believed to be the work of malevolent goblins.
The once lively homestead is now eerily quiet, with doors locked tight and stones littering the yard. Shattered window panes testified to the chaos that had unfolded. Lister Tshuma, a neighbor and relative of Mlalazi, recounted the frightening ordeal.
“Last Thursday during supper, our peaceful evening was shattered when tenants burst into our sitting room, claiming they were being pelted by stones. They said one of the doors had been smashed open, and stones had stormed into the living room, driving them away in fear,” Tshuma explained while speaking to B Metro.

In their desperate bid for relief, the community sought divine intervention, but their efforts were in vain. Tshuma recounted, “The tenants, my daughter, and other locals attempted to drive away the malevolent forces through prayer. But when they arrived at the scene, they were met with a barrage of stones and fled in terror. One tenant had to stay with us, while another took refuge with a neighbor.”
As fear spread, families began abandoning their homes, seeking refuge with nearby friends and relatives. “Two families have fled their homes, and some of us are staying with neighbors,” said Siphathisiwe Moyo. She added, “These invisible forces not only mess with our food, emptying sugar and mealie-meal onto the floor, but they also seem to consume our meat. It’s creating a crisis of fear and uncertainty for us.”
In another unsettling report, a woman known as NaMolly revealed a bizarre and troubling experience. “I keep waking up without my underwear, though I don’t believe I’ve been assaulted. It’s been happening for three days now, and I find my underwear on the floor when I wake up. I’m scared that these entities might do worse,” she confessed.
At Phindani Moyo’s home, the situation was similarly grim. Doors were locked tight, and no one was home. Reginald Mkhosana, the local chairperson, confirmed the disturbing incidents and announced plans for a community meeting.
“We’re organizing a meeting with the families and local elders to address this issue. We want to avoid bringing in Tsikamutandas (witch hunters) because they often cause divisions within the community. Instead, we hope to bring in a pastor or prophet who can cleanse the area and help us maintain our unity,” Mkhosana stated.
As the community grapples with this unseen menace, their hope rests on finding a solution that will restore peace and security to their homes.
