Themba Gorimbo, a professional UFC fighter from Zimbabwe, is embroiled in a public controversy after his brother, Takunda Gorimbo, accused him of w!tchcraft and @bus!ve behavior amid a heated exchange on social media.
The conflict began when Themba took to social media to defend himself against statements from his brother, who claimed that Themba was using w!tchcraft to harm family members.
In a concerning move, Takunda reached out to Themba’s sponsors, urging them to terminate their support for his brother just before an important championship fight. Upon receiving this troubling news, the sponsors contacted Themba, who advised them not to take Takunda seriously as he focused on preparing for the critical match ahead.
As the social media saga unfolded, Themba accused his brothers of attempting to destabilize their family.

He claimed that their jealousy over his achievements prompted their actions, and he expressed frustration about their efforts to undermine his success.
In a series of posts, Themba revealed that Takunda suggested he was only able to become a champion because he faced “easier” opponents. In another disturbing revelation, Takunda alleged that he planned to use juju, a form of African magic, to @tt@ck Themba.
Thembi also shared that he had paused construction on a library project for children back home due to the ongoing family turmoil, claiming that his brothers had even involved their mother in fostering resentment toward his accomplishments.
In response, Takunda made his own allegations on Facebook, claiming that Themba had given him a gym to manage, which he believes was a conduit for Themba to practice witchcraft against him.
According to Takunda, after receiving the gym and the apartment that Themba once occupied, his life took a downward turn. He detailed troubling incidents involving his children, who he claimed nearly suffered f@t@l incidents while living in the same apartment.
Moreover, Takunda shared screenshots of conversations he had with Themba’s wife, in which she expressed distress over Themba’s behavior, stating that he frequently shouted at her.
