News24: Stones ‘follow’ woman
Thohoyandou, South Africa – A Limpopo woman says she is being plagued by a hail of stones that follows her wherever she stays. Miyi Shongi, 58, was kicked out of Lombani village by her terrified family and neighbours three weeks ago and moved in with relatives in Nhombelani village, 30km away near Malamulele, but the rain of stones followed her there too.

“I thought I would be safe there,” she said at the time, “but the stones followed me and embarrassed me”. She believes a Zimbabwean trader has cast an evil spell on her, because she’d failed to pay for clothing she’d bought from the trader on credit.

“We were there for nearly the whole night and saw stones falling from the sky like rain,” said Vhembe police spokesperson Ailwei Mushavhanamadi. “We went around the area to make sure someone wasn’t throwing stones on the roof on purpose, but we didn’t find anyone.” Police then advised the family to consult with spirit mediums about the phenomenon.

“We were shocked to hear a hissing sound and the sound of stones falling on our roof. Some got inside, even though all the windows were closed,” said her mother-in-law Mthavini Shilaluke.

Limpopo sangoma Dr Eric “Hlatikhulu” Ngobeni said such spells were possible and advised the family to consult a powerful sangoma to break it. He also advised that Shongi should find the trader, apologise and pay her for the clothes. … full article
