Mother distraught as son 'falls under the spell of a powerful witch'
Published: 2013 August 20 07:35:20 (5451 Views)
Ma-Israel Foster (57) has spent a fortune on sangomas (traditional healers) to bring her son, Rethabile Diseko (25) home.
Ma-Israel, a nurse who lives in Newclare, Johannesburg, said her son was under the spell of a powerful central Africa traditional healer and would die soon.
She said he was always a quiet, good and clever youngster.
"He had big ambitions before he mixed with foreign inyangas," she said.
Last time she saw him in his 'right senses' was in 2007 when he left to study for a BSc in agriculture at the University of North West in Mmabatho, she said.
"Then I got a call from him one day and I knew something wasn't right."
Everything she had bought for him was gone.
"He told me he had met a girlfriend and her mother was a traditional healer called Mami Wata," she said.
He stopped studying and said he would be a powerful healer.
Rethabile said his mother knew he had an ancestral calling and was doing the right thing.
"She must accept that I was born to help people," he said.
"She's trying to disgrace me because she failed to help me when I was in trouble."
He refused to talk about Mami Wata, mother of the water.
