Final Roll Call 4153. STLCO 10-42 10/13 @ 1519
Durban High Court last week heard a chilling account of how a 14-year-old girl was brutally murdered by pulling out her intestines through her vagina in a ritual believed to cleanse her of demons.
Fundiswa Faku, 33, Lindelwa Jalubane, 38, Nokubonga Jalubane, 22, Minenhle Jalubane, 19, all face a murder charge.

The fifth witness, Nonhlanhla Mdletshe, has since turned state witness. It is alleged that the accused were invited by Faku to gather at her place where a prayer would be held.

The prayer was allegedly to cleanse the deceased who they accused of being a devil worshipper.

It is alleged that on a Friday in March 2012, the deceased came home from school and was told that she was to be rid of her demons.

Faku then pinned the deceased on the floor while others held her hands and feet. She began pulling out the deceased's intestines using a knife and her hands.

Yesterday Jalubane, the second accused testified that Faku phoned her daughter saying they had to urgently rush to her house in Umlazi township and that she needed prayers because her house was haunted by demons and that they couldn't sleep.

"When we arrived at the house, a lot of items, clothes and other things were scattered onto the floor.

"The accused instructed us to leave our shoes outside as they would bring demons into the house.

....

She said Faku had told them that the ritual was to ensure that they entered the house pure because the child resembled an angel. Jalubane told the court that when they entered the house two women were inside wearing similar head scarves and denim skirts.

.....

She told the court that Faku instructed her daughter to change and they also wore similar head scarves and matching skirts.

The court heard that when the deceased arrived from school she was told by Faku that her food was in the kitchen.

....

She was pressed to the floor and the other accused held her limbs.

Faku allegedly used a knife to open her private parts before removing her intestines, killing her.

Oh...unholy fuck. I say they do the same to these twisted motherfuckers coz I just don't know what else would be fitting.
It's hard to believe something like this is even real.

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
 
Damn! You have to go pretty far up there if you wanna grab intestines!

On a side note, the name Nokubonga Jalubane just screams "I'm gonna get the devil out by pulling your innards out of your vagina!"
 
Dumbfounded. How do you marry someone who, at the least, held your daughter down and watched as her intestines were drawn out through her vagina? How could you even be alone in the same room without harming them?

At least the people of Zimbabwe and South Africa posting comments are equally horrified.
 
What did they think would happen? That they would rip her guts out thru her vag, the demons would escape and she would jump up off the floor miraculously healed and start singing "Amazing Grace"???

If they said the only way to rid her of demons was to kill her and that the only way to assure her entrance to heaven was to pull her guts out thru her baby tunnel, I might have thought they were all just religious nuts. They wanted to torture her to death and the "God Made Me Do It" shit was an after thought to try to shirk responsibility.
 
What good is it to rid someone of demons if you're just going to kill them? And we're certainly more upset about it than her dad was!
 
Sounds more to me like the dad's future bride wasn't too happy she came to live with him...invented the demon theory and got others to jump on board to get rid of her so she could have daddy to herself again. IMHO
 
Sadly this doesn't surprise me in the least, horrific as it is, the belief in demons and witchcraft is strong in certain pockets of South Africa. :shrug:

Yep, it truly is a twisted, backassward, hellhole of a country, full of some of the dumbest, most ignorant pieces of shit human beings who ever walked the planet. We are in agreement.

I wiill say however taht we shouldn't be TOO hard on this group. They honestly likely didn't know that physical damage of this nature was all that severe, certainly not bad enough to cause ones death. Africans have little to no understandaing of even the most basic elements of human physiology, they are a living at least 4-5 centuries behind the civilized, decent world when it comes to a myriad of what to us would be no brainer facts of life and science. I'm sure they are just as horrified and shocked over the outcome of their crime as the rest of us.
 
Hate to break it to you, but those folks in South Africa grew up under a system of oppression that only ended 21 years ago this past April... up until then black South Africans were only guaranteed an education through the 2nd grade. It's a little hard to catch up under those circumstances. I would guess quite a lot of them still haven't ever seen the internet. Try to go a little easier on them and Africa in genera.

I'm the one cutting them a break here, what the fuck! I'm quite cultured, unlike most of the cretins here.
 
I don't know about that, Gingis Khan ring any bells for you? That dude was mighty bloodthirsty...

That was a few years ago though wasn't it. Africa currently routinely has some shit goin down that makes Ghengis Khan look like fuckin Ghandi.

Alas...it was once great.

Holy shit.....This was pretty nasty....

He said the accused had been praying for Sinethemba because they believed she had been possessed by demons and they wanted her to give them “the code” to rid her of the demons and she had infected Faku with the demons as well.

Applicant one (Faku) and the deceased both got undressed during the praying and they began touching each other’s privates until applicant two (Lindela Jalubane) got angry and told them to stop playing games, they must take out what they said they would take out,” he said.

Gumede said Lindela Jalubane then began assaulting Faku.

At this time, Sinethemba got a chance to escape from the bedroom, the applicants chased her and brought her back to the room where they all assaulted her, saying that she didn’t want the demons out,” he said.

He said the five were assaulting her with a mop and an ironing board. Faku then began holding Sinethemba down and because she was resisting, each applicant helped hold her down by her limbs.

Gumede said Sinethemba had told Faku to stop and that she would take out whatever it was she was looking for herself, but Faku did not stop.

Faku sat on top of her, used both hands to pull her vagina and put her hand in and began pulling out her intestines. She pulled these out and tied knots in them till everything she was pulling was outside of the deceased’s body,” he said.

When the applicants saw that Sinethemba was not moving, they had phoned the police.

Gumede said his investigation would take about a month to complete because he still needed to take statements from witnesses and the post-mortem report still had to be obtained.

Ugh, so it was all close family. Even better.

Sinethemba lived with a relative after the death of her mother a few years ago.

On Tuesday, the teenager’s aunts, Fundiswa Faku, 29, Lindela Jabulani, 38, her daughters Minenhle Jabulani, 19, a 17-year-old minor, and Nonhlanhla Mdletshe, girlfriend of Sinethemba’s father, 30, appeared on murder charges in the uMlazi Magistrate’s Court.

They were remanded in custody and the matter was adjourned to Monday for a bail application.

KZN police spokesman, Captain Thulani Zwane, confirmed the incident and said a case of murder was being investigated.

She was allegedly killed after her attackers accused her of being possessed by demons.”

A police source said the accusation of being demon possessed came after she had become very withdrawn in recent weeks.

Her ordeal began last Wednesday when she returned home from school. She was allegedly repeatedly assaulted with a broom, the source said.

People believed a demon was living in her and kept hitting her all over her body with a broom in an attempt to get the demon to leave her, the source said.

The source said people who prayed for the youngster claimed to be members of a local religious organisation.

At about midnight on Friday, the teenager attempted to escape from the group.

They caught her and allegedly continued to beat her, the source said.

Sinethemba died after her intestines were pulled out through her vagina, the source said.

The child died almost immediately.

It was a horrific, brutal death. After the intestines were removed, they allegedly waited for her to wake up and be free of the demon. They claimed that by removing the intestines she would be cured.”

The source claimed the attackers continued to pray and waited for more than three hours for her to wake up.

At about 3am, when they realised she was dead, one of them contacted the police. Police at the scene were traumatised and shocked. It all seemed so unreal. This was an innocent child who kept to herself...”

Tied it in knots until they couldn't pull anymore out?

Sweet deity, I'm gonna be sick.

I so hope this child went into shock. Quickly.
 
Applicant one (Faku) and the deceased both got undressed during the praying and they began touching each other’s privates until applicant two (Lindela Jalubane) got angry and told them to stop playing games,
Sounds like some weird-ass freaky three-some. Seriously, they got naked and started touching until some other bitch got jealous.

Sounds way more like jealous bitch syndrome than a case of demon possession.
 
Interesting article about the prevalence of witchcraft accusations in Africa, and the transition of it to children. It cites this case.


Casting Out the Demons: Exorcism in Sub Saharan Africa By Alan Bederka


Nwanaokwo Edet was nine years old when his father, convinced his son was practicing witchcraft, poured acid down his throat. The boy struggled the acid spilled, burning away his face and eyes. As the boy laid struggling on bloodstained sheets, he was barely able to mutter out the name of the church that had denounced him: Mount Zion Lighthouse. A month later Nwanaokwo succumbed to his injuries and died.

Regrettably, the 2005 death of Nwanaokwo Edet of Nigeria was not an isolated incident, but was indicative of a prevalent, and often ignored obsession with witchcraft within Christian communities in SubSaharan Africa.

.....

According to a 2010 Gallup survey, on average 55 percent of SubSaharan Africans believe in witchcraft. In some nations, belief in witchcraft is even more prevalent; for example, 76 percent of the residents of Kinshasa, Congo claim to personally believe in it.

Until the 1990s, witchcraft accusations were most commonly made against elders, particularly elderly women. Since the mid1990s however, “the number of witchcraft accusations against children [has been] rising in countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Angola,
and Nigeria, particularly in large towns.” In more recent cases, the majority of the accused are the children of pious families. Once accused of sorcery, these children are often brutally tortured by religious leaders, clerics, and even members of their own family in an attempt to exorcise demonic spirits. Many Christian children who are accused of sorcery will choose to live on the streets rather than face the horrors of an exorcism ritual.

In 2010, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) estimated that as many as “20,000 children accused of witchcraft were living on the streets of DRC's capital Kinshasa.”

....

Despite the horrors that await them if they choose to flee to the streets, children accused of witchcraft who stay at home will likely "face abuse by their parents, relatives or pastors who attempt exorcism [using] tactics such as the withholding of food or water, beatings, and burnings.”

There have also been cases in which children have been "taken to the forest and slaughtered, bathed in acid, burned alive, poisoned to death with a local poison berry, buried alive, drowned or imprisoned and tortured in churches.” In other cases, families leave their children out on the streets after they have been accused of witchcraft.

Many children who are accused of witchcraft are children "with disabilities or illnesses, [who are] the rebellious or badly behaved." Even behaviors as simple as a child eating but not growing or bedwetting is
associated with witchcraft in Kinshasa. Any misfortune to befall a family can be blamed on the child performing witchcraft "such as accidents, divorce and infertility...In this way, the misfortunes in life can be explained and, in extension, the social order maintained.”

At the center of the witchcraft accusation epidemic are the religious leaders who willingly perform exorcisms on the accused. The exorcism ceremonies have become a particularly lucrative business for religious leaders willing to perform them. There have been reports of individual clerics making up to $50 per child in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the average salary is around $100 per year. In addition, churches have been accused of holding
children captive and torturing them in an attempt to get a confession out of them for practicing witchcraft.

.....

It is possible that Pope Francis’s endorsement of the IAE may legitimize abusive exorcists in the eyes of SubSaharan Catholics and may even encourage families to perform exorcisms of their own, as in the case of Sinethemba Dlamini.

Sinethemba Dlamini was 15 years old when her family performed an exorcism on her, where she was brutally tortured by five of her relatives. Believing that she had a demon in her body, her relatives viciously beat her with a broom. When she tried to escape, her family caught her, beat her again with brooms, and pulled her intestines out through her vagina. A source states that her attackers then waited with her, praying, and expecting her to wake up, free of possession. Sinethemba Dlamini was found dead by police sometime later with her intestines lying beside her.

Whether examining the case of Sinethemba Dlamini, Nwanaokwo Edet, or any of the countless other children affected by witchcraft accusations, the one seemingly unavoidable question is “Why?” Why would a parent, a relative, a guardian, a priest, or anyone at all, allow for this sort of brutality to be enacted against a child?

The answer lies somewhere at the intersection of poverty, conflict, and ignorance. In many cases, the families of the accused children are living in poverty. To them, accusing a child of witchcraft conveniently provides the family with one less mouth to feed. While this sort of behavior may seem unconscionable to some, it is important to remember that much of SubSaharan Africa lives in extreme poverty and in environments where food is incredibly scarce. This sort of poverty breeds desperation, leading families to commit atrocities most never imagine they could.

.....

According to UNICEF, being an orphan or being brought up by relatives is a risk factor for witchcraft accusations. Another factor which can increase the likelihood of witchcraft accusations is the introduction of a stepparent, because in many cases, witchcraft accusations serve as a quick and easy way for a stepparent to remove an unwanted child from the home.

The myriad of social, economic, and religious factors that lead to witchcraft accusations against children create a complex predicament which can not be solved with any single solution.

.....

It is also worth noting that many of the nations in which child witchcraft accusations are prevalent also struggle with low rates of literacy and weak education systems. In the Democratic Republic of Congo for instance, only 2/3 of the population over the age of 15 is literate.

...

As noted before, one of the reasons that families are willing to accuse their children of witchcraft is to relieve themselves of the economic burden of having another mouth to feed.
