Police arrested Oliver Sedze on charges of stealing livestock from his younger sibling. The 61-year-old Nyanga resident faces accusations of stealing seven cattle, valued at $4,000. Weston Sedze reported the theft after discovering his brother had removed the animals from their designated grazing location. David Goba had been caring for the entire herd of 22 cattle since June, when the incident occurred. Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka confirmed that authorities recovered neither the stolen animals nor the proceeds from their sale.
The theft stemmed from a financial obligation left by the brothers' deceased mother, Anna Sedze. She had contracted services from traditional healer Matthias Sithole for supernatural assistance involving wealth-enhancing spirits. Oliver sold the cattle to settle this outstanding debt with the controversial sangoma. Two cows, two heifers, two bulls, and one ox were sent to Jona Tsabasvi in Nyagato Village under the leadership of Chief Katerere. An unknown buyer purchased an eighth animal from Chapatarongo Village in Ruwangwe.
Weston filed his complaint with police on July 9 after discovering the missing livestock. The complainant had entrusted Goba with overseeing his cattle while residing in Harare. Oliver transported the animals to his homestead before completing the unauthorized sales. Sithole has publicly claimed abilities to provide clients with supernatural beings that enhance financial prosperity. This case represents another family dispute arising from unpaid fees for the traditional healer's alleged services.
