Spiritual dreamer believes Khama holds key to her deliverance
A spiritual ability to see into the future through dreams has set a woman against her family and friends.
For 50-year-old Peggy Wame Kebaneetse, life has never been the same since the day she started sharing her night dreams with her family.
Surviving 16 car accidents in the last 20 years, and living on the run as a teenager, Kebaneetse’s eyes tear up when she narrates her horrific life experiences.
“I had a troubled upbringing, and I was chased from home at a very young age,” said the mother-of-three in an exclusive interview with The Voice.
Often mistook for having a screw loose, Kebaneetse said it took her many years to finally realise why she’s no longer on talking terms with her closest family members, and why she had been on the run during her young and adult life.
“As a young girl, I kept seeing visions of people dying, and the causes of their deaths, which I shared with my family only to receive a cold shoulder and a tongue lashing.
An emotional Kebaneetse told The Voice that she usually had visions a couple of days or weeks before the said person died.
“I saw my two uncles’ deaths before they happened, and what caused them, but when I shared this with my close family, everyone just dismissed me,” she said.
“These dreams have tormented me from a young age, and I’ve been bottling them up inside, for fear of being dismissed as a lunatic,”
“I’m very sane, and wiser, and now experiencing a revelation of why my life is the way it is,” Kebaneetse said.
One of her nagging visions she’s had as a young girl was seeing herself wearing former President, Ian Khama’s ring.
“I shared this vision with my late grandmother, and I remember at the time she just held me and prayed,” recalls Kebaneetse.
With strange things and mishaps following her throughout her life, Kebaneetse sought refuge in churches and traditional healers.
“Wherever I went, no one could help me. I’ve been ordered to go to Goo-moremi gorge for spiritual deliverance, but there’s a place I’m not allowed to access, and was told only Ian Khama can take me there and hand me over,” she said.
“Whenever I say this, people simply think this one is a nut case. Who am I to want to be close to the Khamas?”
“Believe me, I’ve been told my afflictions will only stop, when I enter that sacred place at Goo-moremi. I was tempted to go alone, but was warned that I won’t make it back alive as only Khama can take me there,” claims Kebaneetse.
The Serowe native said she has survived 16 car accidents, which were meant to kill her.
“I’m marked for death, and from consultations with spiritual healers, I’ve angered a lot of people with my night visions. Gatwe ke bonetse batho diphiri (I’ve seen too much, and people are uncomfortable with my existence),” she said.
Kebaneetse said today she’s afraid to walk alone, as strange things keep happening to her.
She said suicide has crossed her mind countless times.
“The only reason I’ve not killed myself is because I know it’ll play into the peoples’ narrative that I’m a psycho. I won’t give them the satisfaction,” she said.
“I’ve been summoned by my ancestors to Goo-moremi to receive my salvation and unlock my ability to heal and see further in to the future. For all this to be achieved, Khama is the one to hand me over, “concluded Kebaneetse.
Former President, Khama, is in a self-imposed exile in neighbouring South Africa, and may not come home anytime soon to unlock Kebaneetse’s healing powers and end her afflictions. Until then, this mother-of-three will have to survive more car accidents and annoy more relatives with her night visions.
