Zimbabwean Woman Goes For Seven Years Pregnant After She Was Bewitched for Snatching Someone’s Husband
A 29-year -old Mufakose woman, Alisa Sakile Marova is said to have been pregnant for the past seven years in a suspected case of witchcraft after she allegedly snatched another woman’s husband, NewZimbabwe.com reports.
Alisa fell pregnant when she was 22, but, surprisingly, she went into labour but the baby did not come out.
Doctors told her there was no longer a baby in her tummy despite having confirmed that she was indeed pregnant before.
Destiny Media, a Newzimbabwe.com TV channel, caught up with her early this week and she narrated her ordeal.

“There is a man who I used to see who had not told me he was married. His wife came home to the place I used to stay but did not find me home as I had moved. The pregnancy however was not.
“We assume she is the one who bewitched me, but her family denies those accusation.”
She added;
“After I failed to conceive, my stomach started swelling and doctors ran numerous scans but they said there was nothing inside.
“I went to local and South African hospitals but doctors could not establish the problem. Now my doctor says it’s a cyst, but when it is drained my stomach swells back soon afterwards.”
In South Africa, witchcraft is legally recognized as a religion.
Many South African Wiccans have called for the legalization of witchcraft in response to recent publications detailing Canada’s modification of its Criminal Code prohibiting Witchcraft.
Witchcraft is not outlawed in South Africa, yet many Pagans and Witches continue to believe this to be the case. Absolutely not!
Existing legislation inconsistent with the Constitution automatically became invalid (unconstitutional) subject to Parliamentary review when South Africa adopted its first democratic Constitution in 2006, which included a Bill of Rights (Chapter Two of the Constitution – see below) and its constitutional guarantee of the right to equality and freedom of religion and belief for all citizens. This effectively renders the Witchcraft Suppression Act of 1957, which forbade a) claiming familiarity with witchcraft, b) engaging in witchcraft, and c) consulting a medium or other diviner, null and void as of 2006.
In 2016, the South African Law Reform Commission declared that the Witchcraft Suppression Act was unconstitutional due to its prohibition of having knowledge of or practicing witchcraft, confirming that South African Witches have the legal right to practice their religion without interference from the state, in response to an appeal filed by SAPRA in February 2007 calling for a review and the repeal of the Act.
WITCHCRAFT NOTICE: In South Africa, the practice of witchcraft is recognized as a religion with legal protections since 2006.
Of course, while Witches’ freedom of religion is guaranteed by law, regular people don’t always follow the rules when it comes to fair treatment of others. Unfortunately, persecution against Witches is still an everyday reality for many in South Africa.
Since its inception in 2004, SAPRA has performed a number of vital tasks in furtherance of its constitutional mandate, including advocating for the rights and liberties guaranteed to all South African Pagans (including Witches, whether Pagan or not) in the Bill of Rights and providing assistance to South African Pagans and Witches whose constitutionally protected rights and liberties have been violated as a result of unfair discrimination.
