Tears as “prophets” fail to resurrect dead Zimbabwe girl

There was furore at Granville Cemetery (Mbudzi) in Harare yesterday as people flocked a hearse carrying a deceased girl, to witness her resurrection by two self styled prophetesses who claimed to have divine powers to conduct the miracle.

In a sad twist, the family of a form four girl Dephine Mutemeri who passed on some days ago had to abandon burial for their deceased child after being assured by prophetesses that she was still alive.

According to the local tabloid H-metro, Dephine died after complaining of a headache and her body was taken to Runyararo Funeral parlour two days ago.

One of the family members who spoke to the paper on the condition of anonymity said that due to the pressure from mourners, the girl’s uncle had to comply with the crowd, in fear of the backlash that he could have buried a person who was alive.

“The girl’s, uncle could not continue with the burial ritual as some sections believed that the girl was still alive. He went to Southlea Park Police Base fleeing from mourners who demanded that the resurrection miracle be conducted.”

“We went to Southlea Park Police Base with the body and the women could not raise the girl and we then proceeded home for further rituals after insistence that the girl would resurrect,” said a family member.

Residents are reported to have waited in vain last night in anticipation for the Lazarus moment although the two prophetesses had gotten reinforcements, with an addition of a Madzibaba.

NO RESURRECTION TOOK PLACE!!

Sources say Harare police are aware of the incident and they will arrest the two “prophets” who failed to perform a resurrection miracle.
