FOR years, Vusi Ramalatso and his wife thought they were being tormented by bed bugs.
But spraying their bed with insecticides didn’t help. Finally they consulted a sangoma, who told them their tormentor was . . . a tokoloshe!
They had consulted five sangomas, but they failed to chase it away.
Then last Thursday a sangoma dug up strange muthi in front of their house in Mapetla, Soweto.
It was a clay head with feathers and eyes. They were told it was planted there to make their lives miserable.
The sangoma broke it and out popped two knives, a toy gun and a bloodied pad.
Vusi said his life was hell before the muthi was dug up.
“We couldn’t sleep peacefully for six years. Things walked on the roof and I fought a lot with my wife,” he said.
He said his wife was struggling to conceive. “The sangoma told us the pad in the head was to curse my wife not to have children.”
“My wife kept on waking up feeling weak as the bed bugs drained too much blood from her.
“The sangoma told us the bites were meant for her to leave the house and never come back so I would be a lonely man,” said Vusi.
“I hope things will go back to normal. We have suffered enough, we pray to God to chase them,” he said.
The sangoma burned the muthi and told the couple they will never suffer again.
