‘STRANGE VOICE ORDERED ME TO KEEP ON WALKING

MATSAPHA – “I walked from Matsapha to Siphofaneni as a weird voice kept on ordering me to do so.”

These were the words of Sergeant *Mduduzi, the suicidal police officer who disappeared from his house in the Matsapha Police Camp and was found 24 hours later burning, near the Usuthu River, in Siphofaneni. The officer was yesterday afternoon found seated with his wife and children and in a relaxed mood in his two-bedroom house at the camp.

After regaining composure, officer Mduduzi yesterday spoke to the media and revealed that he had been informed by certain people he had consulted that he had ‘lubane’, something which totally drives him crazy to a point where he contemplates suicide.

“I remember vividly leaving the house on Monday, however,  I do not remember retrieving a rope from the bin as my children alleged. I do recall getting to the forests in Mhlane and standing under a tree.While I was near the tree, I remember seeing Pastor Dlamini, who is in charge of the church nearby and he called me, however when I wanted to go to him near the church, the strange voice ordered me to leave the place and keep on walking,” Mduduzi said. He added that he could also not recall walking all the distance from Mhlane to Siphofaneni, but he remembered passing through Phonjwane and noticed that a few vehicles were slowing down, upon seeing him. “At the time, it was already dark as I had left Manzini at around 2pm,” he said

Mduduzi said he could not even recall how he got to Siphofaneni but he remembered buying some boiled peanuts and getting apprehended by the police later on, who took him to the nearest police station and prayed for him.
“When I saw the burnt T-shirt I had been wearing, I realised that they had found me burning. I was not in my complete senses when they took me to Manzini to be prayed for again.

“I thank God that this curse only attacks me and not my family, my wife and my children. I do need help, this is making my life miserable and even affects my work as each time I get such attacks, I have to be off work for a while,” Mduduzi added. Traditionalists call the curse ‘lubane’ and the officer’s wife, *Mary, confirmed that they had been living a miserable life since August last year as everything her husband owned got burnt.

Before Mduduzi’s disappearance on Monday, they had gone to the nearest bank to withdraw a sum of E2 500, which when they got home, got burnt inside their vehicle. Mary revealed that when her husband tried to put out the flames on the notes, he got burnt on the stomach and sustained injuries in the process. “Everything he owns gets burnt and in a strange way, from his clothing, his work uniform, shoes, food items and even the house we currently occupy at the police camp. When he withdraws some money, it all gets burnt.
