An “article” from today’s Daily Sun

I wish I could make this up, but this is the article on the front page today

END OF THE EVIL CHICKEN!
MAGGIE Zibi (45) woke up to find a strange chicken outside her house… Bits of muthi were tied to it and it apparently spoke a strange language! Maggie KNEW it was evil. SO SHE CALLED A FOREIN SANGOMA … WHO FINISHED THE CHICKEN OFF AFTER A MIGHTY MUTHI BATTLE! Maggie - from Accacia Park near Philippi in Cape Town – said FIVE bottles were tied to the brown chicken and it even had a horn around its neck. The single mother of a 10-yearold boy prayed… and screamed for her sister Nokunzola – who advised her not to touch the scary fowl.
Sangoma Gogo Bila from Mozambigue arrived at the same time as a SunTeam. The chicken was “talking in a strange language no one could understand.”
Sangoma Bila grabbed the bird and fed it his own muthi to make it weak. Hundreds of residents gathered to watch the battle.
They shouted at the chicken: “We know who you are. Just change and reveal yourself…we know you are human!”
Maggie said: “I trust my God. He knew me before birth and He will never fail me.
“Whoever is out to get me or kill me must forget it because my life is in the hands of Jesus.”
The sangoma said: “The chicken is very dangerous…
The person who sent it here wants Maggie dead.
The person is doing everything in her power to destroy this household but she (Maggie) is too strong.”
After feeding the chicken muthi the young sangoma dug a hole in front of Maggie’s house and burned the muthi bird with paraffin.
Then he cut it open with a sharp knife and poured more muthi inside.
The remains of the strange fowl were buried outside Maggie’s house.

That is exactly how the “article” appears in the paper. None of the emphasis was added by me. I also want to add that I don’t buy the Daily Son; its part of a selection of newspapers available at my varsity’s library. But it’s worth the read for some laughs sometimes. Next to the “article” there is a picture of black crispy burn chicken.

"The chicken was “talking in a strange language no one could understand.”

Like a chicken "chirping" language? The only reality part of the whole incident. (Checks out the window to see if I am still in the 21st century, Yes! great .... but then realized I am still in Africa.)

Off topic but how funny is that ad where that family has been living in a bomb shelter under chicken licken since 1994... that ballie makes me crack up at the end.

Yeah dude I thought about the same thing. Last week Tuesday I saw on the cover of Die Son some article about a shapeshifter (ghost like thing) tormenting residents of some poor area

And then just now in News24 I read that the ANC Womens League held a cleansing ceremony with sangomas to cleanse some sculpture they claim was cursed by Hellen Zille. My god.
