A teenage girl is reportedly being sexually abused from her uncle who is a Sangoma.
B-Metro news crew caught up with the teenage girl who had filed a police report at the Old Magwegwe police station.
She revealed that she is being raped by her uncle who is a Sangoma. She said her uncle started to sexually abuse her in 2013.
"My parents died in October last year when I was 16 years old and I remained with my uncle and sister. He promised to take care of me and my sister who left for South Africa last year in August. After my sister's departure life turned nasty.
"At first he called me to his room and said I look beautiful. I took that lightly. On the next day in the evening he called me to his room and grabbed me and said he is attracted to me. He then raped me and begged me not to tell anyone saying that will tarnish his name. He gave me $20," she said.
She added: "My uncle claimed that his ancestors revealed to him that when he sleeps with me he gains healing powers and that will make him a powerful Sangoma and be able to attract a lot of clients."
The troubled teenage girl said her evil uncle broke her virginity. "He broke my virginity and just last year he infected me with a sexually transmitted infection and I did not go to the hospital as he gave me a muti to drink and I was healed.
This is stressing me a lot as l speak I don't know my HIV status and I fear a lot for my life because at times he does not use protection. He gave me a concoction to drink so as to avoid pregnancy."
The teenager said the abuse has cost her academic life. "Last year I sat for my "O" levels and I failed because I was not reading."
She says each time she tried to study, he would come and abuse her.
Contacted for a comment the Sangoma said: "How can I indulge with my niece. That is a lie. I think you are insane. If you write the story you will see how powerful I am and I swear." - B-Metro
