A 40-year-old self-styled prophet is a tormented soul ever since having sex with a member of the Nyau cult.

Pachawa Kwanamba yesterday revealed that he now physically engages in anal sex with a snake since bedding a Nyau member Sheila Taibu.

Pachawa said since the encounter, a mysterious snake is in the habit of penetrating him from his behind every day. “Sometimes I feel it is much better for me to die than to continue to live the life that I am living.

“Mysterious things have been happening to me ever since the day I had sex with Sheila and I now regret the decision I made of having sex with her.

“Whenever I explain my situation to people some think I am insane and others would cut communication ties with me.

“I helplessly find myself being a victim of anal sex every day; the snake only comes whilst I am about to sleep and enters me from behind.

“This does not happen spiritually but the snake comes in its physical state and I even have scars on my behind to prove what I am saying,” said Pachawa.

He added that he has since lost his prophetic powers he possessed as a result of being intimate with the woman.

“When I reflect at what is happening in my life, I am reminded of the biblical Samson who lost all his powers after sleeping with Delilah.

“I loved Sheila very much and she was beautiful and above all we had great sex since she would do Chinamwari because of her Nyau background but I am now a nobody because of the love I had for her.

“I have been a prophet all my life and a lot of people would come getting help from me but I have since lost all the powers I had after sleeping with her,” she said.

Pachawo added that he has been looking for Sheila but she has been deliberately avoiding him.

“This has been happening for the past three years and at first I tried to keep it a secret but I have decided to open up hoping to get help.

“I have tried my best to seek audience with her so that she releases me from this curse but she deliberately avoids me.

“I have been to Sheila’s parents’ house and I even offered to pay but they refused my offer.

“I have been to Sheila’s parents’ house and I even offered to pay but they refused my offer.

Meanwhile, Sheila’s Mbuya Taibu said she will only accept Pachawo’s compensation if her daughter who had sex with him approves it.

“I am aware that he (Pachawo) cohabited with Sheila and that is unacceptable.

“I am also aware of the situation he has but I can only accept the compensation if Sheila allows us to receive it,” she said. – State Media
