Zvikwambo Curse Rips Through Epworth Family: Six Dead, Women Flee in Fear
A family in Overspill, Epworth, is appealing for help after claiming to be under spiritual attack from goblins known as zvikwambo, which they say have caused mysterious deaths, illnesses, and s€xu@l abuse across generations.
The Nota family, originally from Boma, Malawi, believes the ordeal began after the deaths of their parents—Fraction Nota in 2000 and Menalla Pangeti Nota in 2019.
Within a single year, they buried six relatives and now fear for the lives of 52 grandchildren left behind.
Agnes Nota (54), one of the surviving daughters, described the emotional toll.
“We were 12 but now we are seven,” she said, her voice steady but sorrowful.
She glanced at the ground, as if counting the names in her head. “People die young, one after another. It’s like we’re being picked off.”
Her tone shifted, frustration creeping in.
“This has affected husbands, grandchildren, and created a cycle of fear we can’t escape,” she said.
The family believes they are haunted by zvikwambo—supernatural beings said to s€xu@lly abuse women and torment men.
Loveness Nota (41) shared her ordeal, describing a life gripped by fear and isolation.
“Three of the men I was married to died, and the other two left me out of fear,” she said, her voice trembling.
She paused, gathering herself. “Men now fear to approach us. It’s not just me—young girls are dying in households where zvikwambo are active.”
She leaned forward, urgency rising. “We face strange illnesses, we cannot find jobs, and women are s€xu@lly abused by invisible men.
“We urgently need help,” she said.
The attacks have reportedly forced some women and girls to flee the household.
Others avoid travelling due to repeated road accidents, which they believe are linked to the curse.
In a chilling twist, the family recently discovered a multicoloured ribbon tied to their father’s grave—interpreted as a spiritual marker of ongoing torment.
Friday Nota (55), the fourth-born son, confirmed the family’s distress, reflecting on the strange events that followed their father’s burial.
“When we buried our father, we discovered money and other items missing. That was the moment we realised something was wrong,” he said.
He shook his head slowly. “From that day, things began to spiral—no one in the family has control over finances anymore.”
His voice grew tense. “We are being haunted by the zvikwambo, chased by women, and our daughters and sisters are suffering under this burden.
“People are dying in ways we cannot explain,” he said.
The Notas say they have no surviving relatives in Zimbabwe and now rely on the older generation to confront the crisis alone.
Their brother, Patrick Nota, was killed by unknown assailants in Ruwa in 2006, adding to the string of unexplained tragedies.
According to The Observer, the family continues to live in fear and desperation.
They are appealing to spiritual leaders, authorities, and the community to help break what they describe as a deadly generational curse.
