Seven-Year Pregnancy: Zimbabwean Woman Accuses Witchcraft After Affair
Mufakose Woman Reportedly Bewitched to Remain Pregnant for Seven Years After Allegedly Snatching Another Woman’s Husband
A bizarre story has emerged from Mufakose, Zimbabwe, where a 29-year-old woman, Alisa Sakile Marova, claims to have been pregnant for the past seven years due to witchcraft. The strange phenomenon allegedly began when she was 22, shortly after she became involved with a man who, unbeknownst to her, was married.
According to Alisa, her ordeal began after she fell pregnant and later went into labor. However, to her shock, the baby never emerged. Despite medical confirmation that she was pregnant, doctors later informed her that there was no longer a baby in her womb.
Alisa recounted her experience in an interview with Destiny Media, a NewZimbabwe.com TV channel. She explained that she received a threatening call from a woman, who she believes was the wife of the man she was involved with. Alisa’s suspicions of being bewitched grew after she and a prophet friend attempted to locate the woman, only to learn that she had passed away. Alisa believes the deceased woman may have cast a curse on her, although the woman’s family denies any involvement.
In the years since, Alisa’s abdomen has remained swollen, despite multiple scans and treatments from both local and South African hospitals. Although doctors have now diagnosed her with a cyst, they remain baffled as her stomach continues to swell back shortly after being drained.
**Bulawayo Polytechnic Enforces New Dress Code for Female Students**
In an unrelated development, Bulawayo Polytechnic has implemented a strict new dress code aimed at female students. The institution now prohibits clothing deemed “skimpy or revealing,” with those violating the dress code barred from accessing school facilities or attending lectures.
The new regulations specify that skirts or dresses more than five centimeters above the knees, string tops, biker shorts, clothing revealing cleavage or midriffs, tight-fitting, ripped, sleeveless, or see-through clothing are all banned. For male students, the dropping of trousers and wearing slippers are prohibited, with exceptions made for headgear worn for religious reasons.
The implementation of this dress code has sparked conversation online, with some supporting the move as a way to maintain decorum, while others view it as an infringement on personal freedom.
