I was a thwasan' at a Gobela i will not mention out of respect. My Gobela is a very powerful Gobela who has foreign ancestors also guiding her. She is half South African and half Zimbabwean.
She is known for her powerful work. There is no one who has ever came to her and left unhappy. Her ancestors are mighty. During my initiation there were a lot of people coming for different kinds of help.
Business rituals, love portions,healing, job employment, resting souls and so forth.One that has shocked me and still shocks me is her helping criminals with protection.
One day a man came in with his family, i don't know that man neither do i remember his face because it's a very long time ago. The man came and asked for protection not to be sentenced.
He told her that he is out on bail and wishes to not be sentenced or charged on his trial. I was in the indumba with them waiting to assist my Gobela. The man told her that he had been accused of crime he did not commit.
I honestly don't know what transpired that day but i and another male thwasan were asked to escort him to the river for cleansing. The river is miles from our Gobela's home but that's where we cleanse those who need cleansing.
The river is known for it's powers and the big snake that lives there is a peaceful mermaid. We took him there i waited a distant since I'm a woman. He was helped by the male thwasan.
On our way back he felt heavy on us, the aura was not right. Usualy when we take bad aura there the atmosphere changes, the mermaid gets upsets and the entire atmosphere becomes uneasy.
When we arrived at the ndumba, he then steamed with herbs and got his skin cut with a razor and muti inserted on the small cuts. He was then given a small.stone from the mountain to put under his tongue on his court day so that the court believes everything he says.
That night the mermaid sent a very strong window damaging a few windows and trees falling, ki££ing a goat and that's when we knew that the goat was a sacrifice for cleansing the river because we took bad energy to it.
After a couple of days they called to let our Gobela know that he was found innocent and his charges have been dropped. We could hear his people celebrating at the back.
The man then sent our Gobela a large amount of money to thank her. She was immediately attacked by the ancestors. She couldn't walk nor talk for almost a week and we perfomed rituals of pleading for forgiveness from the ancestors.
That is when we knew that we had helped a criminal get away with offences he made. The ancestors have never revealed to us or Gobela what the men did but they have communicated that he was guilty.
There are Sangomas who intentionally protect criminals and the law is under a spell but they don't know it because our law does not believe in witchcraft and the law says witchcraft is not a case.
We continue to suffer because of such. The day the law recognises witchcraft will be the day crime becomes less.
