Give Relatives Money —
They Bewitch You

The Dark Behaviour of Some Zimbabweans Against Their Own Blood

By Collen Makumbirofa·Makumbirofa Farms (Pty) Ltd·Johannesburg / Zimbabwe

In Zimbabwe, the most dangerous witchcraft rarely comes from a stranger. It comes from a relative — from the very person who smiled at you across the table, who called you family, who stretched out their hand to receive what you gave them in love. It is a wound inflicted from the inside, and it runs deeper than any outsider could reach.

There is an evil spirit that drives certain relatives to commit acts of spiritual sabotage against the very people who care for them most. This is not simply a matter of jealousy in its ordinary sense. It is a deeper, darker force — an ancient envy that consumes the host long before it consumes the target. The enemy is not in the air. The enemy is seated at the family table.

Evidence of witchcraft: Money given to a relative was found bound with red and green yarn, accompanied by muti, snuff, and a handwritten note in Shona reading — “He must finish all his money on Beer.” The gift, meant as an act of kindness, was spiritually weaponised against the giver.

The photograph above is not an abstraction. It is evidence. Someone gave money to a relative — a sincere, generous act of support. That money was taken and prepared with dark intention. Muti and snuff were applied to the notes. A small piece of paper, written in Shona, was tied alongside: a curse commanding that the giver must waste all his money on alcohol. Red and green yarn was used to bind the entire package and seal the ritual. The giver thought he was helping. He was, in fact, unknowingly inviting destruction into his own life.

They speak with warm words, but the spirit within them is devoted to your ruin. They want your suffering. They want your failure. And they will use your own kindness as the instrument.

This is a pattern repeated in families across Zimbabwe, and the silence around it is itself part of the curse. People suffer in confusion — their businesses collapse without cause, their relationships break, their health deteriorates — never knowing that a relative has dedicated their life to destruction and handed it to someone else’s.

Some families consult witchdoctors and acquire goblins and spiritual contracts for business success. These contracts demand a price — and the price is often a child, a sibling, or a relative’s future. Fake money circulates for a season, businesses flourish briefly, and then quietly collapse as the years move on. The foundation was Satanic from the beginning: diabolic, heartless, and utterly without remorse.

The damage done by witchcraft to Zimbabwe is not merely spiritual — it is national. It has fractured families. It has poisoned communities. It has undermined the economy by replacing honest enterprise with dark contracts. It has left people sick and weakened, stripped of the capacity to build and create. The scale of suffering caused by this practice is incalculable, and yet it continues because silence protects it.

If your life seems blocked — if every door closes before you, if good opportunities dissolve at the final moment, if illness persists without medical explanation — do not be too quick to blame yourself or chance. Consider that there may be a relative who has spiritually sacrificed your wellbeing for their own gain, or who simply burns with envy powerful enough to sponsor rituals designed to hold you back. Accidents, chronic poverty, unexplained joblessness, persistent sickness — these are among the known fruits of sustained witchcraft operations carried out by those who should have been protectors.

I have made a personal decision: I do not give money to most relatives. I give to strangers. A stranger has no spiritual investment in your destruction. A stranger cannot be paid by your suffering. And in my experience, a stranger’s gratitude is clean — uncontaminated by envy or the hidden hunger to see you fall.

This is not a call to hatred or suspicion of all family. It is a call to spiritual discernment. Not every relative carries darkness, but the ones who do are dangerous precisely because they are trusted. Wisdom does not mean closing your heart — it means protecting it with the knowledge that love must be tested by fruit, not simply claimed by blood.

Let us be watchful. Let us be prayerful. And let us stand in full confidence that no weapon formed in darkness has the final word over a life surrendered to God.

Lord God, keep every wicked and envious relative far from our paths.
Break every ritual, every curse, every dedication of harm done in secret.
Restore what was stolen. Heal what was broken. Let truth stand. Amen.
