"Goblins Are Making Me Despise My Husband"
A Mutare woman claims her uncle’s “goblins” are sexually abusing her and as a result, she has lost affection for her husband.
The alleged goblins reportedly appear in physical form to both female and male members of the Maina family in the Chigodora area of Mutare and demand to be intimate.
The family accuses their father-figure and uncle, Aaron Maina, of causing their problems and wants the old man to discard the goblins.
The matter was brought before headman Chengetai Chigodora’s court last week on Saturday where Delia Maina claimed she now craves for intimacy with the goblins more than with her husband. She said:
The goblins have a high libido. It is always difficult to enjoy intimacy with your spouse after sleeping with the goblins.
If my husband was here, he would have confirmed that I no longer enjoy being intimate with him as much as I do with the goblins.
It is quite disheartening because as a result, I no longer see him as the head of the family.
The goblins are making me despise my husband and crave them more.
Another family member, Eunice Maina, alleged that she has become a sex slave of the goblins.
Eunice also claimed that her uncle, Aaron killed her father (his brother) and cast the dead man’s avenging spirit on her. She said:
I have approached my uncle on countless occasions asking him to help us, but he vehemently refused, telling me that he is Christian.
I am a sex slave to his goblins and snakes. This is now an open secret in our village.
I have challenges in my marriage because of this. They are not sparing our brothers. Most of our brothers are not married.
However, Aaron denied acquiring goblins saying he is a Christian who doesn’t dabble in any traditional practices. He said:
These children are lying. They never approached me with all these wild claims.
It is the first time to hear of their bizarre claims and goblins stories.
Had they approached me, I would have joined them and consulted prophets from my church.
Why would I leave my family members to suffer? It honestly does not make any sense, they should just tell the truth before this court.
Headman Chigodora ordered Aaron and his sister to be open with the suffering family members and find a solution to their problems. Said the traditional leader:
Be transparent and help these children. If indeed you have anything to do with these goblins and sufferings that are happening within your extended families, come out clean and confess.
You will face my full wrath if we end up consulting traditional healers and you are caught on the wrong side of everything.
The way you are acting shows that you are trying to conceal the truth.
We will give you the benefit of the doubt and consult spiritual healers. Be prepared to surrender your goblins.
The matter was adjourned to 7 January 2023. | The Manica Post
