A 25-year-old Zimbabwean man named Takudzwa Mugariri is currently being sought by the police after allegedly assaulting and killing his 94-year-old grandmother, Easther Marozva accusing her of witchcraft. The incident took place in Marozva Village, Chief Banga, Shurugwi. According to the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), the suspect accused his grandmother of practising witchcraft and proceeded to burn her clothes before attacking her with a log. A police report seen by Pindula News says the victim was found with multiple wounds on her body. Read the police report:
<blockquote>
Police in Gweru are appealing for information which may lead to the arrest of Takudzwa Mugariri (25) who is being sought in connection with a case of murder in which his grandmother, Easther Marozva (94) died at Marozva Village, Chief Banga, Shurugwi on 03/02/24. The suspect had accused the victim of witchcraft before burning her clothes and assaulting her with a log. The victim was found with multiple wounds all over the body.
</blockquote>
The police are urging anyone with information about the suspect’s whereabouts to report to the nearest police station.
Witchcraft is still prevalent in rural areas of Zimbabwe, and it is not uncommon for local reports or newspaper stories about such practices to surface almost every week. In 2006, the government acknowledged the existence of supernatural powers but stated that the use of magic to harm others is prohibited.
Many Zimbabweans, especially those who grow up in rural areas, find it challenging to dismiss the belief in witchcraft. Gokwe, a district known for cotton production in the Midlands province, has gained notoriety for its association with witchcraft and the occult. In terms of reported cases, Gokwe could be considered a contender for the “Witchcraft Order of Merit,” along with the alleged lightning-makers of Chipinge.
Different opinions exist regarding the understanding of witchcraft and the occult. Christian churches recognise only the existence of a “good” spirit, known as the Holy Spirit, while associating witchcraft with Satanism. Others argue that Zimbabweans should respect their ancestral traditions and perform rituals that were favoured by their forefathers.
Witchcraft refers to the practice and belief in magical abilities and it’s different from the occult which pertains to knowledge of the hidden. Throughout history, there have been numerous unexplained occurrences that extend beyond rational and scientific explanations, fueling beliefs in witchcraft and the occult.
Despite Zimbabwe’s reputation as a predominantly Christian nation, with more than 90% of the population identifying with a denomination, belief in witchcraft and the occult remains widespread. Stories circulate about lightning being “manufactured” in certain areas of Manicaland, with bolts supposedly sent to strike down enemies and rivals. In Mashonaland West and Central provinces, there are mentions of a magical spell called runyoka, which married individuals supposedly use to catch cheating spouses.
Occasionally, there are reports and images of self-proclaimed witches being caught naked in people’s houses, as their nocturnal activities are unexpectedly revealed in the morning light.

Zimbabwean Man Sought By Police For Allegedly Killing 90-year-old Grandmother Over Witchcraft Accusation

Some villagers in Igusi Village in Ward 10, Nyamandlovu, have been threatened with eviction for refusing to consult witch hunters popularly known as “Tsikamutanda”.
The witch hunters claim to be on a mission to eradicate witchcraft by removing goblins from some of the homesteads and demand livestock and money as a form of payment.
Some villagers support the actions of Tsikamutandas but others are vehemently opposed to them.
One of the victims told <a href="https://cite.org.zw/villagers-threatened-with-eviction-for-refusing-to-consult-witch-hunters/">CITE</a> that she was given a 24-hour notice to vacate the village. She said:
<blockquote>
I was given 24-hour notice to leave the area as I refused to entertain the witch hunters.
I ended up going after being forced and they demanded a payment of US$400. I refused to pay that amount.
</blockquote>
She said after the incident, she was accosted by some villagers who demanded to know why she had refused to pay the Tsikamutandas.
Village head Grace Mpofu said her hands are tied over the issue, adding that people are not forced to consult the self-proclaimed witch hunters. Said Mpofu:
<blockquote>
They came through the headman and the chief, my role was to only welcome them. If people want them, there is nothing I can do.
</blockquote>
… I did not hear that, those are lies. If someone doesn’t want to see the self-proclaimed witch hunters they are not forced, we announced that.
Ward councillor, Johannes Sibanda confirmed the eviction threats saying it a violation of villagers’ rights. He said:
<blockquote>
This thing is being controlled by the headman, they don’t inform me about anything but the matter is true, this is what is happening in our area.
As a councillor, I tried to reason with the headman but as it is I have been failing to get hold of him.
To me this is nonsense, I have even tried to teach people about human rights but it seems the village head is the one threatening them.
I also advised people that anyone evicted should come to me before leaving, but so far no one has been evicted, there are just threats only.
</blockquote>
It is a punishable offense to employ a witch hunter under the Witchcraft Suppression Act Chapter 9:19. Section 5 states that:
<blockquote>
Any person who employs or solicits any other person (a) to name or indicate any other person as a wizard or witch; or (b) to name or indicate by means of witchcraft or by application of any of the tests mentioned in the paragraph (b) of section eight or by the use of any non-natural means any person as the perpetrator of any alleged crime or other act complained of or (c) to advise him or any other person how, by means of witchcraft or by any non-natural means whatsoever, the perpetrator of any alleged or other act complained of may be discovered; shall be guilty of any offence and liable to a fine not exceeding fifty dollars or, in default of payment to imprisonment for a period not exceeding six months.
