Most of the Mahlupeko sisters from Chimanimani are in broken marriages as an avenging spirit has been demanding sex from them claiming to have been ex-starved while still alive.

The spirit was identified as that of Dakarai Mahoso.

The distraught family appeared before Chief Ndima on Sunday where it was revealed that the private parts of the Mahlupeko sisters and their daughters get blocked each time they try to get intimate with their husbands.

The late Mahoso is claiming that he died sex-starved as his wife, Gogo Nyeperai Mahlupeko,87, denied him his conjugal rights when he was still alive.

Gogo Nyeperai’s brother, John Mahlupeko, said the avenging spirit has resulted in his married daughters struggling with the issue of intimacy for the past few years.

“All this while, we did not know that my sister’s late husband was behind this. While some family members thought that it was a medical condition, others knew it was spiritual.

“The ones that are not married yet are struggling to find husbands while the married ones are struggling with intimacy.

“As if that is not enough, the men in the family are struggling financially. We are failing to prosper.

“When we were told that Mahoso’s spirit is haunting us by prophets and traditional healers, we thought Tete Nyeperai killed her husband. We were then shocked to hear that he was haunting us because he was starved of sex while he was still alive,” said John Mahlupeko.

Gogo Nyeperai admitted that she starved her husband in the bedroom. However, she said it was because they were both elderly.

“I had twelve children with this man and I ended up failing to meet his sexual needs when we were in our old age. I was in my late 60s while he was in his 70s. I did not think it was still proper for us to engage in sexual intercourse.

“The spirit said my husband is not resting peacefully due to his bitterness. The spirit demanded that I should appease it by brewing traditional beer and washing myself with it, she said.

Gogo Nyeperai is currently staying with her brother after she was sent packing by Mahoso’s family.

She said her family is also blaming her for the misfortunes.

Chief Ndima ordered the Mahlupeko family to visit one more traditional healer to ascertain the real cause.
