Reports reaching The Honcho Gist, a clinic reportedly shut down in Umzingwane district, Matabeleland South, after nurses complained of being raped by invisible creatures (ghost).
According to information gathered, the mysterious creatures which are suspected to be tikoloshes, are also allegedly wreaking havoc at a nearby Shale primary school where they are reportedly sexually molesting teachers.
The school teachers are threatening to leave if no solution is found soon.
According to Zimlive, Shale Clinic opened in February this year, built through combined funding from devolution funds, the constituency development fund and contributions from the Umzingwane Rural District Council but with the clinic shutting down, villagers have to travel as far as Esigodini for treatment.
One of the villager Themba Moyo told ZimLive.
“The clinic is closed because two female nurses and a male health technician ran away after complaining that they were being sexually abused,”
“They woke up moist in their privates with signs that they had sexual intercourse. This was happening at night. At the moment there’s just a janitor and nurse aide who live in the community.”
Another villager also said;
“There were two nurses and a health technician. They initially started complaining about being tired when reporting for duty in the morning and were claiming that they were not having restful nights.
“They then opened up and explained what was happening at the clinic. The male health technician had a torrid time one night with the creatures pulling his penis and testicles. He struggled walking in the morning as his privates were swollen. His wife had a miscarriage recently, and we believe this could be linked to the tikoloshe issue. They left as they could not stand the abuse anymore.”
The villager also spoke about how teachers at Shale Primary School were being tormented by the tikoloshes.
He added;
“The tikoloshes have sex with females, and men wake up with swollen privates. Sometimes female teachers wake up sleeping outside their rooms, with their food mysteriously eaten.”
At an emergency meeting convened by the villagers, it was agreed that prophets or traditional leaders will be hired. The villagers who suspect tikoloshes of being behind the reign of terror, also resolved to banish the owner of the tikoloshes once they are unmasked.
