VIDEO: Avenging spirit demands 195 cattle from 7 men who murd3r3d him in 2008

An avenging spirit—known as ngozi—has mandated that seven men accused of murd3ring Tencen Chikwaramiti in 2008 must pay a hefty price of 195 cattle

This unusual demand was confirmed during a traditional court session overseen by Mambo Chiduku, following a confession from one of the accused, village headman Isaac Gandi.

The spirit’s demands were clear: each of the seven men was to provide 27 cattle, along with a hat and a pair of safety shoes.

Additionally, Gandi and Brian Dhakazhe were to pay an extra three cattle each.

The traditional court emphasized that these terms were solely dictated by the avenging spirit and not by any local authorities.

The tragic incident had unfolded in 2008 when Chikwaramiti was accused of stealing cattle while moving his livestock at night, which violated local customs.

During the hearing, Gandi disclosed that he was summoned by village policeman Enias Nyawu.

“Nyawu informed me they had caught someone moving cattle at night,” Gandi said.

Upon his arrival, he found Chikwaramiti had already been brutally beaten by Nyawu, Dhakazhe, Aaron Matope, and Changadzo Watiwanana.

The group decided to take Chikwaramiti to the police, joined by Stanford Mujuru and Shingirai Chifamba. Gandi admitted that as they traveled, “everyone continued assaulting him with fists, kicks, and switches.”

Tragically, Chikwaramiti succumbed to his injuries that night. In a gruesome turn of events, the seven men later divided his seven cattle among themselves.

At the traditional hearing, Gandi confessed to attempting to ward off the avenging spirit using juju charms and anointed water from apostolic sects, following Chikwaramiti’s d3ath.

However, these efforts proved futile, and the spirit continued to haunt his family. “The spirit tormented my sisters every night, bringing them immense suffering,” Gandi lamented.

On the day of the court proceedings, Gandi and his relatives presented twenty-eight cattle as an initial offering, although two cattle had escaped.

Following extensive discussions, the spirit granted him an extension of two days to deliver the remaining cattle. Gandi revealed that out of the total, 11 cattle were sourced from his own herd, while the rest were contributed by his family members.

The spirit, communicating through a relative, accepted this arrangement but issued a warning against delays: “The number of cattle increases with time. If you do not fulfill my demands now, the cost will rise.”

With his reparations plan now approved, Gandi designated Brian Dhakazhe as the next perpetrator to face the spirit’s demands for his role in the 2008 murd3r.

Gandi’s compliance marked him as the second individual to accept responsibility, following Stanford Mujuru, who had already made his restitution.

The traditional court underscored that all seven men must fulfill their reparations to restore peace within the community. “This is not just about repaying a debt,” stated Mambo Chiduku. “It is about acknowledging the spirit’s demands and reestablishing harmony among us.”

As two of the seven men begin to make amends, the focus now shifts to Dhakazhe and the others involved.
