It is an open secret that things are tough in Zimbabwe at
the moment ,people spend most of their time hustling to get the elusive
greenback.

| The Quest For The Elusive Dollar |
So serious is the way in which some people hustle that there
are reports that people have gone as far as Nigeria ,Ghana and Mozambique in
order to look for charms which purportedly help them to acquire money at any cost.
The dailies are full of reports of people who would have gone to these so
called ‘Prophets’ and Witch Doctors who promise them heaven on earth. Often
times they are given small twigs and told to go and do as the ‘Prophets’ will
have advised. Most of them cry foul after discovering that the twigs end up
turning into enormous snakes which completely take over their lives.
Recently ,a certain lady from Chinhoyi, who claimed that her
mother had left here a huge snake when she passed away, had to resort to one of
local radio stations in order to look for help as the gigantic snake had
completely taken over her life and turned it into a living hell. Those in the
know claim that the damsel in distress had a huge mansion and several top of
the range vehicles but she could not attract nor keep a spouse as it was taboo
for her to do so. She lived alone with only a maid to keep her company in the
huge mansion. Loneliness and the need to be reed of the demanding reptile,
forced her into turning to the radio station in order to ask
for help. It is reported that several ‘Men of God ‘ tried and failed to kill
the gigantic snake, with some reports saying it was as big as ten meters and
weighted several tonnes.
Last week, there was a reported breakthrough in the case as
some Prophets went to the home of this lady and succeeded in killing the snake.
Another reported case is one of a lady from one of the
affluent suburbs of Harare, who reportedly went to Mozambique in her quest to get instant riches, she was told to
go and perform some rituals , when her money was enough for her needs ,she had
to return to the Wizard who had given her the herbs ,un fortunately for her,
she did not return and the room where she was supposed to keep the money that
was created by the wizardry was so full of money that she no longer knew what
to do with it. At the time of writing she was so overwhelmed that she was
asking for advice.
In our quest to be better than the Johns next-door some of
us are going out of our way and abandoning the nurturing of our parents to the
extent that we end up biting more than we can chew.
