The Two Women Who Terrorized a Village
See video of two elderly witches caught and being punished by the community
For many years, a small village in kwembu lived in fear. The villagers believed that two old women were witches. People said these women were behind the strange and tragic deaths of many young children in the community. Whenever a child did well in school or achieved something great, something terrible would happen to them shortly after.
At first, these were just rumors. Nobody could prove that the women were involved, so nothing was done. But everything changed when a young boy, known for his excellent school performance, was found dead in their house. This discovery shocked the village and led to an angry confrontation that ended with the two women being forced to bury the boy.
This story is both chilling and heartbreaking. It shows the power of fear, belief, and the need for justice in small communities.
The two women had lived in the village for many years. They were older, quiet, and kept to themselves most of the time. Some people in the village said they were strange. They would sometimes talk to themselves, and others claimed to see them performing odd rituals late at night.
Over time, a pattern seemed to form. Whenever a child in the village succeeded—whether by doing well in school, winning a prize, or showing great talent—something terrible would happen. The child would fall ill, lose their mind, or even die mysteriously.
At first, people didn’t connect these events to the two women. But as the tragedies added up, the villagers began to suspect them. Some said the women were jealous of the children’s success. Others believed they were using dark magic to harm the children.
Still, there was no proof. The authorities could not act based on rumors alone.
Everything changed when one young boy, became the center of the community’s attention. He had just passed his matric exams with flying colors, scoring some of the highest marks the village had ever seen. His family and teachers were proud, and the whole community celebrated his success.
But soon after, the boy started acting strangely. He would talk to himself, scream for no reason, and forget who his family was. People said he had "lost his mind." His parents tried to get help, but nothing worked.
Then, one night, the boy disappeared. His family searched everywhere, but he was nowhere to be found. Weeks later, his body was discovered inside the house of the two women.
The discovery of the boy’s body was unexpected and horrifying. It all started when a man was walking home from the local tavern late one night. It was around 2 a.m., and the village was silent. As he passed the house of the two women, he heard a terrible scream. The sound was so loud and filled with pain that it sent chills down his spine.
The man, though drunk, knew something was wrong. He ran to the village leader’s house and reported what he had heard.
The next morning, the village leader called a meeting. The villagers decided to confront the two women and search their house. When they arrived, the women refused to let them in. But the angry crowd forced their way inside.
That was when they found the young boy’s body. He had been dead for some time, and the sight of him confirmed what many had feared all along: the women were responsible for the deaths of the village’s children.
The discovery of the boy’s body enraged the villagers. Years of fear and suspicion boiled over into anger. They felt betrayed by the two women, who had lived among them for so long.
In their rage, the villagers decided to take justice into their own hands. They dragged the two women out of the house and forced them to confess. Though the women denied the accusations at first, the evidence of the boy’s body left little room for doubt in the villagers’ minds.
The crowd demanded that the women take responsibility for what they had done. As punishment, they made the women dig a grave in their yard and bury the boy themselves. This act was meant to show the women the pain they had caused and to give the boy a proper resting place.
The entire event was recorded by someone in the crowd. The video showed the women digging the grave under the watchful eyes of the angry villagers. Their faces were filled with fear and shame. The villagers shouted at them, expressing their grief and anger.
When the video was shared online, it quickly went viral. People from all over the country began talking about what had happened in the small village. Some supported the villagers, saying justice had been served. Others criticized the act, calling it mob justice and saying the women deserved a fair trial.
The events of that day changed the village forever. For some, there was a sense of relief. They believed the two women had finally been stopped and that their children were now safe. But for others, there was a lingering unease.
Some villagers questioned whether the women were truly guilty. Could there have been another explanation for the boy’s death? Was it possible that the villagers had let fear cloud their judgment?
The authorities eventually got involved, investigating both the deaths of the children and the actions of the villagers. However, the case remained complicated. With so much fear and emotion surrounding the events, it was difficult to separate fact from belief.
This story highlights how fear and suspicion can take hold of a community. In many parts of the world, beliefs in witchcraft are still strong. These beliefs can bring people together, but they can also tear communities apart.
In this case, the villagers believed they were protecting their children by punishing the two women. But their actions raise important questions. What if the women were innocent? What if the deaths were caused by something else entirely?
At the same time, the story shows how deeply people value justice. For years, the villagers felt powerless as they watched their children die. When they finally had evidence, they acted quickly to right what they saw as a terrible wrong.
