A 24-year-old woman will spend the next 13 months in a jail for bewitching her husband.

Memory Shiri was accused of ensuring that her husband, Godwishes Magarira, was not able to have sexual relations with his first wife through voodoo.

Magarira, 40, of Makanda Village in Zimbabwe told a Gutu resident Magistrate, Victor Mohadi, that he suffered erectile dysfunction problem whenever he is with his first wife, reports iHarare.

The court heard that Magarira approached Shiri and questioned why he failed to have an erection whenever he wants to have sex with the first wife and Shiri answered ‘ndakakusunga’ (I bewitched you).

He then took a nappy pin and a needle which were tied together and untied them while Magarira was watching and she told him that she had sorted out the problem.

However, Magarira continued to suffer the same problem whenever he was with the first wife.

Magarira also got a medical examination report to prove that he was having sexual problems.

Magarira accused Shiri of boasting that she can control her husband’s sex life.

Witchcraft is not legal under Zimbabwean law.
