RIFAFOUR-275 MY PRISION SENTENCE

ISICHITHO: MODERN WOMEN COURTING SYSTEM

When the funds are low, debts are pilling up.

When your love life is daunting and friends are few.
When your colleagues become foe- leagues.

Your luck has finally run out.
Failure has become success turned upside down.
Uyisichitho in the making.

People can be very petty I tell you.  Instead of upping their game and improving themselves they will use isichitho to lower you. Not that burning out your candle makes their candle burn brighter, but their candle will burn whilst yours is off.

What is isichitho you might ask…

I didn’t know either until I came to Cape Town. God, did I have sleepless nights scratching invisible insects crawling on my face. Isichitho is a human made curse to breakup your relationships or make you unattractive. Mainly used by females against each other. It’s very common amongst the African community. When you have isichitho, people become irritated when they look or think about you. There are different forms of isichitho but I’ll only just mention four forms.

·       ISICHITHO SOTHUVO- People create it when they use any human waste. It has wrecked so many homes. You will hear a person that you have spent more than three quarters of your life with telling you that you smell that they can’t breathe. One looks at you and feels very irritated. With isichitho sothuvu, one may feel good about you when you are not there with them (such as speaking over the phone) but when you come together you won’t see eye to eye or simply become bored of their presence.

·        ISICHITHO IN THE BLOOD- comes when people use some muthi in their private parts to make a partner feel the high temperature during sex, when the man sleeps with a woman who has used the aforesaid muthi, he will of course feel good and enjoy the hot sex but when he goes to the next woman, that warmth becomes isichitho or a disease. When you have got isichitho in the blood one thinks about you and feel the hate. They say, ‘unegazi elibi’ (He / She has  got bad  blood)

·         ISICHITHO IN THE AIR- This is isichitho that they send to you pretending as if it is a calling by your own ancestor spirit; in this case isichitho becomes very tricky and plays fronting. They will front your own ancestoral spirits as if they are the ones causing you problems. In this situation when you go to people who do not do thorough analysis when they are foreseeing or throwing bones for you, they will tell you that you need to undergo apprentice such as a sangoma for example. Now once you do that, it all means that you have accepted isichitho.  You have surrendered yourself to it thinking that you are responding to your call by the ancestors. This is the reason why you have seen many people doing Sangoma training and becoming nothing there after and suffering more than ever instead.

·         ISICHITHO CALLED IBHAKUMBA (in Ndebele language of Zimbabwe) and TSUNDA ( in Venda language of South Africa)- this one is not directed only to the lovers, it affects both lovers, families and people in general. Family members will tend to fighting bitterly because of this one. It can also be directed that a home is the affected factor, that when people are in this home they constantly fight each other but out of that home they tend to get along.

WHEN ISICHITHO IS A DISEASE

This is how it goes; the host will insert the muthi on themselves in the virgina, passing it on to their partner. Their partner will then pass it into the victim through sexual intercourse unknowingly. The warmth from the friction causes some form of itchiness that relates to eczemas. When it has reached that stage the Zulu tribe call it Ugcusula and the Venda tribe refer to it as Tusula. This is the reason some people have confused isichitho with a sexual transmitted disease, otherwise it is not.

WHY THEY TARGET ONE’S PRIVATE PART WITH ISICHITHO

They want a man or a woman to have a difficulty in having sex so that the other partner may end up feeling rejected and go away or seek for divorce if married. In some cases these things can go as far as affecting the womb itself in a woman and sometime totally bring one’s manhood to a none-functional state.

For instance, you have heard of woman who can’t conceive, when they go for checkups with the specialists they are told everything is ok and normal, but still they can’t concieve. Some have been up and down with traditional and spiritual healers but still no results.  It is because they give them ‘Umuthi wokumisela (a medicine to help one get the child and forget or ignore the issues of isichitho in the blood).

WHEN ISICHITHO ACTS LIKE A GROWTH

 

Isichitho can act like a growth in your womb and make your womb heavier than normal that when you conceive the weight of the growth won’t allow the pregnancies to continue resulting in early miscarriages. In this instance you will be told that your problem is the growth yet it is only the work of Isichitho. Isichitho can be very tricky; sometimes it needs a real expert to remove it.
