Ruwa Sangoma’s “Bees” Land Him in Hot Water with Angry Clients
A self-proclaimed Sangoma from Ruwa, who says he can send bees to track down and recover stolen goods, is facing serious backlash after two clients accused him of scamming them.
A farmer from Concession says he was desperate to recover his stolen farming equipment and inputs, so desperate that he paid US$600 to a sangoma known only as Sekuru Muzura. The promise? That magical bees would trace and return his property.
But after days of waiting, nothing happened.
Another disgruntled client, businessman Makonza, paid US$400 to Sekuru Muzura for the same “bee service” and got nothing in return. Frustrated, he confronted the sangoma’s aides to demand his money back, and the situation turned tense.
Makonza didn’t mince his words: He said he felt double-crossed—once by the thief and then by the sangoma.
“Sekuru Muzura’s claims are fake; he has no such bees, which he claims have the power to locate my stolen property and force the robber to return my goods. After waiting for the given period, nothing materialised, and I realised I had suffered a double loss. Ukabirwa unorwadziwa zvekuti unofunga kuti dai akubira arwadziswawo uye adzose zvese. Sekuru Muzura decided to cash in on us, saying he has some spiritual powers. It is bad to do such a thing to our fellow countrymen, and we do not know how many others have been duped that way. I clashed with Sekuru Muzura’s aides as I was demanding my refund,” said Makonza.
When journalists reached out to Sekuru Muzura, they were asked to pay a US$100 “consultation fee” just to hear his side of the story. Later, an aide downplayed the matter, claiming Muzura helps many people and couldn’t recall every case:
“Muzukuru wangu tinobatsira vakawanda zvekuti handichaziva vamurikuti vakauya vakasabatsirwa. Sekuru varimumatare ndichavasvitsa shoko.”
Meanwhile, social media users have been sharing a viral photo of a man covered in bees, saying it proves the power of spiritual bee retrieval. But authorities confirmed that the image has nothing to do with Sekuru Muzura or his recent drama.
As the Sangoma saga continues, Harare police say the public should remain alert. Provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza said there’s been a rise in break-ins and thefts, especially from parked vehicles and homes.
“Police have noted with concern an increase in the number of unlawful entries and theft from car cases. We continue to urge people to avoid leaving their valuables in parked cars, as well as keeping large volumes of money in homes. We are experiencing cold weather conditions, and thieves have been taking advantage of this by breaking into homes,” said provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza.
