Two self-proclaimed prophets from Mazowe in Zimbabwe were on Monday assaulted and forced to dig a two metre pit to unearth the blood-filled pot they claimed contained their patient's blood.

The incident occurred at Amatola farm where Takaedza Mazhendi (32) who 'trades' as Madzibaba Handireya of Nyenyedzi Nomwe Yenguwo Chena and his church mate, Stanford Jokoniah (31) of Mvurwi sweated the whole day while as they assisted their patient Margaret Chimutengwende (32) to dig a pit.

The two prophets had prophesied that Margaret was being bewitched by Tracy Mutsinani (48), her neighbour.

Madzibaba Handireya planted an axe, needles and a knife at Margaret's place at around 2am before being led by Margaret to Tracy's house accusing her of engaging in witchcraft.

In anger, Tracy called other villagers to witness the pot said to have been full of blood as evidence that she planted it at Margaret's house.

"Today you shall call upon your God more seriously and beg Him to lead you to the goblin," villagers were heard saying as the prophets were sweated out in search of the goblin.

Prophet Handireya and Prophet Jokoniah were beaten before they were asked to show villagers the said goblin that was planted at the house.

Villagers could be heard asking for the names of songs which would direct their spirits into pointing where the goblin was placed.

Tracy threatened the prophets with legal action if they failed to find the said chikwambo (goblin) they claimed was planted by her.

Margaret said she was possessed by an unknown spirit when she accompanied Madzibaba handireya and Madzibaba Jokoniah to Tracy's house.

"To be honest, I was surprised to find myself with Tracy and the prophets at my house as they quarrelled over the allegations. I had been having chest pains and a headache when I asked my husband to call the prophets for prayers at midnight. I only realised later that the prophets were saying I was the one who led them to Tracy's house, possessed by a spirit uttering words accusing Tracy of witchcraft," she said.

Prophet Handireya confirmed accusing Tracy of witchcraft saying he had been misled by the demon that came out of Margaret uttering such accusations.

"Margaret misled us after we prayed for her and we followed her to Tracy's house without verifying the allegations in spirit," said Madzibaba Handireya sweating after digging the whole day.

"The eggs and needles we planted were meant to appease the evil spirits from Margaret's ancestors who are causing her to suffer. As for the goblin, we are not aware of its origin, only Margaret is the one who made such claims and we believed her as we spoke in tongues at Tracy's house," he said.

Villagers were left in stitches when Prophet Jokoniah opened up about their false tactics that made them get cattle from patients.

"We have been getting cattle for such prayers but today I have decided to leave these false prophecies and I no longer want to be a Christian. Today I have learnt a lesson and I apologise to Tracy for the false allegations that led us to dig such hard ground in search of false claims. Today I was heavily beaten because of my falsehoods," he said.
