A 10-year-old Grade 7 girl from Goromonzi, Zimbabwe has reportedly experienced a shocking transformation after allegedly being initiated into satanism by her schoolmates, leaving her unable to attend school and deeply distressed.
The girl’s mother, speaking to B-Metro, shared her anguish, describing how her daughter, who resides on a farm in Chief Chinhamora’s area, has been behaving in a terrifying manner since the alleged incident. According to the mother, the child now hisses, writhes, and darts her tongue like a snake, and even cries like a hyena when she is possessed.
“This girl is possessed by a snake spirit. She starts to hiss like a snake, writhing around and sticking out her tongue like a snake. She also cries like a hyena when she is possessed,” the distraught mother explained.
The girl recounted how the ordeal began at school when an unknown woman approached her and placed her hands on her head as if in prayer. Several schoolmates joined the woman in touching her head, after which the girl began experiencing terrifying visions of snakes being thrown at her and placed in her stomach.
“I started seeing strange things, including snakes being thrown at me, some being placed in my stomach, and being taken out at night to practice witchcraft with others,” she shared.
According to the girl, she has been taken to nighttime rituals where she and other children are fed “sadza, rice, and meat” and given a “red beverage” to drink. She claims they are transported by a giant snake capable of carrying 20 people and have travelled to distant places such as Mozambique.
Even more troubling, the girl says her mother does not notice her absence at night because her shadow remains at home while she is away at these secret rituals.
The devastating impact of the situation has affected the entire family. Once a top student, the girl has fallen behind in school and has even named members of the community as her fellow witches, causing tension and fear. The girl’s mother expressed her heartbreak, sharing that the stress has even cost her husband his job.
“This has torn our family apart. My daughter was once the best in school, but now she names people in the community as witches, and her performance has dropped. We’ve sought help from various places, but nothing has worked,” the mother lamented. The disturbing case has left the family searching for answers and relief as they deal with the emotional and social toll of the alleged possession.
