The tragic death of 14-year-old Alisha Simango has left the Budiriro suburb in shock and mourning. What makes this story even more disturbing is the revelation that a prophet at her church had predicted her death just days before it happened.
According to sources close to the family, the prophet had called Alisha on Sunday, but she was not available. The prophet reportedly said he was looking for Alisha and in his spirit, he was seeing her in an enclosed place. He felt compelled to pray for her, sensing that she was going to commit suicide.
Alisha’s diary entries reveal a deep sense of loneliness and isolation. She wrote about school problems, feelings of betrayal, and a general sense of despair. Her father, Mr. Simango, is struggling to comprehend the tragedy, saying he had no idea anything was troubling her.
Another close source revealed that Alisha was struggling with more than just the love issue. “Let’s be honest, Alisha was going through a lot and more than what the diary revealed. I am sure at home, there were serious issues, she couldn’t accept the fact that her parents were not well up. So, she had mental health issues.”
The postmortem revealed that Alisha died due to suffocation as a result of the cloth she used to commit suicide. The police are investigating the circumstances surrounding her death, including the role of the prophet’s warning and the potential signs that were missed.
This tragic incident raises questions about the role of spiritual leaders in identifying and supporting individuals with mental health issues. It also highlights the need for increased awareness and support for mental health in our communities.
