THE Mutare Magistrates Civil Court has heard that a Mutare man is in the habit of pretending to be possessed by his father’s spirit in a bid to kick out his stepmother from her matrimonial home.

This happens every time the man gets drunk.

This emerged at the courts where Grace Chahweta was applying for a protection order against her step-son, Mike Chikunda.

The two appeared before Mr Xavier Chipato.

Mr Chipato granted the protection order in Chahweta’s favour.

The order bars Chikunda from visiting Chahweta’s homestead for the next five years.

Said Chahweta: “Mike comes to my homestead to yell at me and fake being possessed by his late father’s spirit.

“While fanning possession, he says I should leave the homestead as I am disturbing the children’s peace. He is doing all this to chuck me out,” said Chahweta.

She said there is bad blood between her and Chikunda after she inherited her late husband’s estate.

“He said I am barren and should go back to my parents’ home.

“He says a lot of painful things to me, as if it was intentional for me not to have children with his late father.

“His mother passed away, so he wants to grab all his late father’s land.

“However, before his death, my husband allocated us different pieces of land to till.

“He has his own piece of land and should stay there while I stay at my home.

“However, he says I should not benefit from his late mother’s hard work, yet I am also entitled to the estate as I was the one who looked after his late father when he was bedridden,” said Chahweta.

She also said she took the issue to the village head, but Chikunda defaulted the hearings until the village head gave up.

“I reported the matter to the village head and he refused to attend any court hearings, saying the village head was a nonentity in his life,” she said.

Chikunda denied ever insulting his step-mother, but said he confronted her when she sold a piece of land.

However, Chahweta said she sold her part of the inheritance.

“I do not talk to her. I do not visit her homestead. I received a tip-off that she was selling my father’s land. I confronted her and asked her why she was selling the land as it was also part of my children’s inheritance.

“She is a passer by, and that is why she is trying to destroy everything my father worked hard for,” said Chikunda.

Chikunda said he is a spiritual person.

“I sometimes get possessed as I am a spiritual man, but after being possessed I do not remember what I would have said, so I cannot confirm what I said or what I did not say while in a trance,” claimed Chikunda.
