Bindura’s Johanne Masowe WeChishanu prophet and leader Madzibaba Rakeni Gumbira of Chiwaridzo has gone insane after leading his congregants in a three day prayer session on top of the prohibited and sacred Jeta mountain.
The sacred mountain is located in Masembura communal lands at Manhenga.
Nhau/Indaba had the chance to observe Madzibaba Rakeni’s odd behaviour Tuesday when he appeared at Chief Masembura’s traditional court charged with trespassing into the sacred landform.
According to sources, his wife also began hallucinating the moment he arrived at his home and was still behaving oddly at the chief’s kraal.
Madzibaba Rakeni was charged together with five other accomplices for allegedly tempering with traditional ornaments in the mountain.
The self-styled prophet was hallucinating and continuously slamming himself against the ground during the appearance.
His accomplices told the court that they ascended the mountain on Tuesday last week where they held prayer sessions until Thursday.
They said their leader started showing signs of madness on Thursday as they descended the mountain.
In another shocking revelation, one of his followers, Madzibaba Wishmore Chivende narrated that during the course of their prayers they came across baboons and cattle on top of the mountain.
He stated that in one of the incidences that left them shocked, one of the cows they saw on top of the mountain managed to come to a fire place where they were seated and ate the ash before leaving without causing any incident.
For the breach, Chief Masembura demanded a beast and a goat from the church so that Madzibaba Rakeni’s sanity would be restored, and warned that failure to meet the price would result in Madzibaba Rakeni remaining insane forever.
“I also want two goats from each of you for accompanying him and trespassing into our sacred place without permission from its custodians,” Chief Masembura said to the other five members of the sect who accompanied Rakeni to the sacred mountain. Nhau/Indaba
