A mother in Zimbabwe, Pledged
her 13-year-old maiden daughter to a self-proclaimed prophet as payment for
spiritual services rendered to the family.
It was alleged that the lady’s family was being
tormented by ‘tokoloshi spirit’ and the prophet, Madzibaba Jeremiah demanded a
maiden daughter as payment to exorcise the spirit.
The court was told that, on January 13, that the
mother of the girl and the prophet had an agreement, as they
concluded that the
woman would bring her 13-year-old daughter to the prophet, who would sleep with
her and take her in as his wife.
according to the report, The girl under duress slept with the prophet without
protect, as her mother waited outside as backup for Madzibaba. She waited outside
so that if her child screams, she would act as an alibi and also convince the
complainant to keep quiet. As fate would have it, a heroic act by the girl’s
grandmother to report the crime at Tongogara police station led to the arrest
of the two criminals.
Both the prophet and the girl’s mother have been
sentenced to court.
