Bees ‘apprehend’ robbers

IF you ever find yourself in a situation where you are being robbed, the best thing to do is to comply with the robbers’ demands, report the incident to the police as soon as possible and wait for the wheels of justice to turn.

The above advice, however, was not the ideal course of action for a gold miner from Mberengwa, Midlands province, who allegedly lost US$30 000 to armed robbers, as he decided to take the unconventional route to justice.

Why wait for the law when supernatural powers can be equally effective?

The gold miner (name supplied) took matters into his own hands when he reportedly consulted a Harare-based traditional healer, who delivered paranormal justice on his behalf by unleashing a swarm of bees to attack the suspected robbers, forcing them to return the stolen money.

The swarm of buzzing “law enforcers” reportedly tracked down the suspects before stinging them into submission. Defeated and in pain, they marched, surrendered themselves to the victim and returned the loot.

There was drama when the bees reportedly covered the suspects’ heads, necks and backs as they headed to the gold miner’s residence.

Thieves and armed robbers, it seems, should think twice before crossing the paths “fenced” by these winged warriors.

Relating the incident, which serves as a stark reminder of the lengths people will go to seek justice, especially when they think conventional methods might fail them, a source said a relative suggested the unusual route to justice to the gold miner.

“A relative advised him to contact Gogo in Harare. In the hope of recovering his money, he consulted her and was given two options: To either unleash a baboon or a swarm of bees on the suspects, and he chose the latter,” said the source.

“After two days, he was shocked when he saw the suspects coming to his house while being attacked by a swarm of bees. They were shouting for help. After surrendering the money, they begged for forgiveness. “The gold miner, who was at a loss for words on what to do when he was robbed, was relieved to have his money back.” The source added that although he reported the matter to the police, it appeared the gold miner was impatient to wait for the law enforcers to track down the suspects. When the gold miner was asked to comment on the matter, he responded: “I cannot comment. I cannot share my issues with the press. Sorry, I cannot.”

In a telephone interview, the traditional healer, however, confirmed the incident. She said she had assisted a lot of people who consulted her after losing their property, including cash.

She also said gold miners were consulting her before starting operations in order to get the so-called “spiritual password” to locate the precious mineral. — B-Metro

Meet ‘proud’ woman in a polyandrous relationship

An American woman, Passion Jones, has been receiving both positive and negative comments after posting a family portrait of her two husbands and the sons she has with each of them.

It is believed Jones has always advocated polyamory.

The 31-year-old woman got married at 20 to her first husband and only began her polyamorous relationship when she was aged 30.

She confessed in a podcast what they do together as a polyamorous family, and that she had no idea she would ever want to get married to two men but now she loves it.

Her first husband, with whom she has two children together, claims he was not forced to do it, nor is he jealous, as he enjoys the experience.

Jones’ second and most recent husband, whom she just had a baby for, is quite young and very comfortable with the marriage.

The husbands say they take turns to get her pregnant; that way, they know who the father of the child is. — Wires
