MANZINI – Well-known traditional healer, Elliot ‘Black Cat’ Fakudze,
claims he can find the missing corpse within three days.
After reading the article which was published by this publication’s sister
newspaper, The Times of Eswatini yesterday, where the family of the deceased
businesswoman appealed to the nation to help them find closure, the traditional
healer said his speaking calabashes could find the ‘thieves’ and the corpse.
Fakudze gained popularity in 2013 after claiming that he had a talking calabash
which he consulted after the death of his son, Mukelo, who was a soldier and
died after being allegedly punished by military police. He told this publication
that his speaking calabashes could enable those who  took the missing corpse to
reveal their identities and confess their wrongdoing.
“The speaking calabashes can also find the corpse within three days, either
buried or mutilated,” Fakudze said.
He said people could steal a corpse for many reasons and the main one was using
some of the bones for muti. In that regard, he said actions to locate the people
who took the body of Gladness Kimoro Edje and the corpse should be done
immediately, before it was too late. He said in instances like these; especially
when the intentions were to use the corpse for muti, they could reduce it to
ashes in order to conceal evidence. He said they could have waited for the
corpse to be buried and dig the tomb, but he supposed that she could be
cremated. Fakudze also revealed that as a person who was initiated at Dar es
Salaam in Tanzania and the fact that the family of the deceased   from the
country that made him what he was, and was encountering a problem in his native
country, makes the matter close to his heart.
Meanwhile, Chief Police Information and Communications Officer Superintendent
Phindile Vilakati said investigations were still ongoing and she appealed to the
nation to assist them with any information that could lead to the recovery of
the corpse and the people who took it from the morgue.
She said those who might have any information about the missing corpse, should
contact Manzini Police Station Commander Dumisani Dube on 7633 5818 or the
Manzini Regional Crime Branch Officer (RCBO) Thabo Hlophe on 7605 3042.
Alternatively, Vilakati said they should call the police through their emergency
toll free line 999/9999.
Again, the Director of Health Services, Dr Vusi Magagula, said they were still
waiting for a formal report from the police, who were investigating the matter.
Businesswoman
It is worth noting that the late businesswoman died from a COVID-19 related
sickness early August 2020 while undergoing treatment at Manzini Clinic and her
corpse was taken to The National TB Hospital morgue at Moneni.
However, a few days later, on August 5, 2020 to be specific, impeccable sources
revealed that a group of unknown males came to collect her body and claimed to
be her relatives.
Thereafter, during the past weekend, the real family came to the hospital to
claim the body of their loved one, but they learnt witch shock that a group of
unknown men had already claimed it. This means that it has been a week since the
family of the deceased businesswoman discovered that her body was missing from
the morgue at The National TB Hospital.
