Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A Chitungwiza-based traditional healer, Sekuru Kafura, says he has sired 100 children and is married to 12 wives, excluding three that died in the past five years.<\/p>\n

The 68-year-old is a self-confessed seller of goblins, and a successful businessman and farmer.<\/p>\n

The Malawi-born traditional healer loves flashy, expensive cars and his garage holds 35 vehicles, among them the latest BMWs, Ford Rangers, Mercedes-Benz and commuter omnibuses.<\/p>\n

He said his very large family consumes a beast every week and spends US$826 every week on bread alone. He said:<\/p>\n

There is nothing to be ashamed of. I sell goblins to whoever can afford them. I have been doing this since 1972 and this is not a secret.<\/p>\n

\u2026 When it comes to goblins, we have three packages. We charge US$2 500, US$1 500 and US$500 for the three packages on offer.<\/p>\n

Unlike the typical traditional healer, Sekuru Kafura, who resides in Unit J, Chitungwiza, is a well-dressed teetotaller who does not take traditional snuff.<\/p>\n

He told The Sunday Mail that he is currently training four of his children to become traditional healers after he is gone. He said:<\/p>\n

They will only become fully-fledged traditional healers after I am gone. My father taught me this craft and I only started healing people long after my father had died.<\/p>\n

I will do the same with my sons; I will not allow a situation in which I will one day compete for clients with my own children.<\/p>\n

Sekuru Kafura warned people who are reportedly using his name to defraud his clients. He said:<\/p>\n

I am aware of people who are using my good name to rob people. My clients are being robbed in broad daylight.<\/p>\n

What I can only say is that those that are doing this must stop or face the consequences.<\/p>\n
