Men in Kiruhura district and the entire Ankole Sub Region are deeply concerned and urging their local women not to resort to witchcraft as a means to control their partners’ séxual desires.
This behavior, which can lead to sexually transmitted infections and diseases like cancer in men, was highlighted by a phone audio recording.
In the recording, a married woman, married to a junior minister in President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s government, was heard discussing with her mother in the Runyankole language about following advice from a witch doctor.The advice included feeding the minister with her pubic hair and nails to curb his alleged womanizing tendencies.
The woman recounted her trip to Iganga in Busoga, where she obtained the medicine from the witch doctor. She described being driven in a luxurious car early in the morning by a close relative who picked her up at Lugongo, along the Kampala-Jinja road.
“Mummy the journey was tiresome but it seems that man works because immediately when I entered his shrine, he explained to me all my personal details from my childhood and why I was before him,” the minister’s wife narrated as mother assured her of how powerful the witchdoctor is.
She told her mother about how she felt terrified when the witch doctor asked her to undress. She feared he might harm her since they were alone in the shrine, but she complied because she needed his help.The minister’s wife then described how the witch doctor, dressed in traditional attire, rummaged through his old bags.
He pulled out some magical items and wrapped them in small cloths after mixing them with his saliva. He then took a razor blade and made small cuts on her body, applying the mixture to the wounds as part of the ritual.Shockingly, her private parts were also affected.
“I feel a lot of itching when the herbs mixed with the blood inside my body and he told me to be strong because we had just started the rituals. He also told me that the war is not easy because the man has also gagged himself spiritually,” she said.
She shared that the witch doctor conducted other rituals on her and gave her herbs to swallow. He then asked for 500 shillings to buy a new razor blade. Since she had no money on her, she left the shrine, got the cash from her relative in the car, and returned.
Once back, the witch doctor emphasized that the money must come from her as the rituals were for her benefit. She stayed in the shrine undressed until he returned, gave her a razor blade, and instructed her to cut her pubic hair and nails and hand them to him.
As she performed the task, the witch doctor left and returned with burning charcoal. He requested her hair and nails, then burned them together. He collected the ashes, wrapped them in a cloth, and told her to dress.He handed her the ashes and instructed her to mix them into the minister’s food and drinks before he left for work and again when he returned home.
“He is done, I’m telling you mummy,” she boasted on the phone.
In 2021 the minister was introduced to his wife’s parents in Kiruhura but they later had a misunderstanding after she got information that he had other women with children including two who dragged him to police and court for neglecting them.He used his influence in government to strangle the cases but he learnt his lesson and he is now taking care of them.
The Minister’s wife feels his marriage is threatened because of the many mistresses he has and he always travels with one of them whenever he travels abroad.The official wife and her mother were badly condemned on different WhatsApp groups for resorting to witchcraft yet their family is a known religious family in the area.
The mother always prayed to God to help her daughter so that the rituals work which kept people were wondering why she didn’t advise her daughter to pray to God instead of going into witchcraft.
However, the wife’s friend who is also a wife to a top officer in the ministry of defense, blasted them and praised the old woman for helping her daughter fight to save her marriage.She blasted one of the woman who is alleged to be a mistress to a top official at the NRM Secretariat who hired IT experts to hack and tap the minister’s wife’s phone and she is the one who is circulating the controversial audio conversation on different WhatsApp groups.
“That mistress will pay for it I’m telling you. She was a mistress to the minister, he left her and moved in with another woman because she was playing him with that NRM top boss. She still wanted to play the minister with other UPDF Generals and wanted to fail my friend’s marriage. You people, everyone here has privacy and people are doing more deadly and dangerous things to protect their marriages so stop attacking her,” she said.
She further revealed that the said mistresses also hacked into the phone of another top boss in NRM. She rallied her colleagues to gang up and deal seriously with her to save other people’s marriages.She also disclosed that the NRM top boss has over 27 girlfriends and 10 of them have kids yet the official wife resides in Makindye Division a Kampala suburb.
theGrapevine has established that since the audio went viral, the minister is very confused and his relatives who objected to his marriage to the bewitching woman because she is not his tribes mate are advising him to divorce her.Others are comforting him that such things always happen in marriage and he should deal with it like a real man.
The youthful minister according to sources is under pressure to take a strong decision which is likely to affect his political career because he married the Munyankole woman to be connected to members of the deep state from Ankole Sub Region.
“I do not think he will leave the woman, she is very connected and he always uses her to score political goals including getting connections and deals from members of the first family,” a friend to a minister told theGrapevine.
