A woman accused of bewitching the penis of her husband arrested

A 24-year-old woman accused of bewitching her husband's penis was jailed

The woman named Memory Shiri was thrown in jail after a Zimbabwean court verdict. In fact, her husband, Godwishes Magarira, aged 40, dragged her to the Gutu District Court.

The latter revealed that he suffered from erectile dysfunction whenever he was with his first wife. Although Zimbabwe did not legislate witchcraft, the court learned that in 2016 Magarira told Shiri that he did not have an erection with his first wife, and she reportedly told him in the local language saying "ndakakusunga" (I bewitched you).

According to several concurring sources, after acknowledging that she bewitched her husband's penis, Magarira had also received a medical examination report to prove that he had sexual problems. Prior to the conviction, Magarira accused Shiri of boasting that she could control her husband's sex life.
