Three Zimbabwean men who pretended to be n’angas are rotting
in jail in Botswana after being charged with fraud.
The three, Tafara Chihwayi 43, Phillip Rusari 41 and Gift
Chihwayi 28, swindled victims of their money while pretending to be helping them.
The Voice reports that they have been in custody since last year facing three
offences of entering Botswana through ungazetted point of entry, obtaining by
false pretences and unlawful possession of a government trophy. They pleaded
guilty to all counts.
Tafara swindled Kamogelo Setlalekgosi of Gabane the sum of
P10 000 by falsely claiming that he could cleanse her of evil spirits. Tafara,
Rusari and Gift in October last year acting jointly together attempted to
obtain P100 000 from Linet Mmali David again pretending to be healers.
It is alleged they told her they had removed a Thokolosi
from her house which came in the form of a dead baboon. Tafara is also accused
of being found in possession of ostrich shells and python skins.
The three have continuously been remanded.
