Fiction: I want to poke all the time, im addicted to poking because of my sangoma ex who cursed me.

Since her boyfriend put a curse on her punani, all Reatlegile thinks about is poking. She now wants to get rid of the curse because her current boyfriend said that she must stop demanding a poke always or he will leave her.

33 year-old Reatlegille Moloi from Mzimhlophe in Mpumalanga said her ex-boyfriend who was a sangoma gave her Muti and instructed her to rub it on her punani. He told her it was to keep her punani clean and chase away evil.

“I met my ex at my friends ceremony in Protea Glen, in Soweto around 2015 while he was Helping my friend to prepare for her ceremony. We moved in together in 2017 after being in a relationship for two years. I loved him and I believed that the Muti was in my best interest so I followed all the orders he gave me” she said.

She said he put the muti on her punani once a month and they poked non-stop, she would feel like her punani was burning but she didn’t care, she wanted to poke. They then started fighting a lot over silly things and so she decided to end the relationship.

Reatlegile said that her ex admitted to giving her the Muti and he apologized for doing so but unfortunately he didn’t know how to remove it.

Reatlegile s ex, said he regrets doing what he did to Reatlegile and he wants the curse to go away but he doesn’t know how to do it. He says it was stupid of him and he apologises to Reatlegile for what he did to her. He has been asking for help from his fellow sangomas but they don’t know how to get rid of it so he doesn’t know how to help Reatlegile.

Reatlegile ‘s current boyfriend, 35 year-old Clifford Serobe said he loved poking before he met Reatlegile but then with Reatlegile he got tired and always looked for an excuse to avoid poking.

Sangoma joseph Dungamanzi said “I can help Rethabile but he would have to stop poking for 2 months and the curse will be gone”
