Two suspected witches caused quite a stir in the high density suburb of Budiriro in Harare on Wednesday after they fell out of the sky.
The two women, both from Gokwe-Nembudziya in the Midlands, were charged with “engaging in practices commonly associated with witchcraft” before Mbare magistrates, Inspector Tadius Chibanda of Harare police said.
Their crash-landing happened after a preacher prayed in the area. They say they were on their way from Mutorashanga on a ruser0 (reed carpet).
The two were found naked with an assortment of witchcraft-associated paraphernalia including a live owl, two winnowing baskets which are used for flying in witchcraft mythology, a baboon skeleton and an orange substance in a 550ml Coca-Cola bottle.
To add a bit more to an already bizarre story, the witches asked to be let go to get back to their husbands who they cast a spell on their sleep or else they would die.
It’s creepy out there. It’s real.
