*📰Husband who died in 2011 returns to her wife in Buhera 13 years later* ‼️ *....Chilling & Bizarre story shocks Zimbabweans* 😱😱😱 *FOLLOW THIS CHANNEL:✅* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaApfgQ1XquYatYIdE1j IN a shocking revelation that defies belief, a Buhera woman, Judith Machao (69), has come forward with an astonishing claim — her husband, presumed dead and buried in 2011 — is in fact alive!.. In an unsolicited interview on Monday, Judith recounted an extraordinary encounter with her supposedly deceased husband — Canisio Machao — in Murambinda in January — over a decade after she had attended his funeral. She claims her husband’s family, in collusion with Canisio, orchestrated an elaborate ruse to hoodwink her into believing that he had passed away. Her allegations suggest a sinister motive — to deprive her of the house they had built together in Glen View 7, Harare. The heartbroken woman is convinced that her in-laws went to great lengths to dispossess her of the property — knowing that her husband was very much alive. “I arrived in Gutu days after his purported burial, as I was staying with my mother in Buhera at the time of his alleged demise. It was my daughter who informed me of his passing on, prompting me to travel to Gutu to pay my condolences. However, my father-in-law and relatives failed to show me his grave, claiming they would do so during his memorial service (nyaradzo), which, to date, has not been held,” she explained. The elderly woman recounted her astonishment at encountering Canisio in Murambinda in January this year. She said she had travelled to Murambinda to retrieve her marriage certificate from the Registry Office, intending to use it in court to reclaim the Glen View 7 house she claimed was rightfully hers. The house, which she asserted was built brick-by-brick through their joint efforts, was seized by her brother-in-law — Peter Machao — a few weeks after the 2011 purported funeral. “I never imagined I would lay eyes on him again. I thought I was losing my mind when I saw him at Murambinda. I had gone to collect our marriage certificate from the Registry Office, as I wanted it to use to regain possession of our matrimonial house. “He approached and instructed me to return home to Glen View 7, promising to deliver the certificate to me. I informed him that I was being denied access to the house, but he assured me he would resolve the issue,” she recounted. She said when she met Canisio, he confessed having been imprisoned all these years. He instructed her to return to their matrimonial home and wait for his return. However, it is now five months with Canisio still to fulfil his promise of reappearance and solve the issue. “He just told me that he had been in prison all the years, and that I should forget everything and go back home. I was not hallucinating. I recall everything that I saw and did that day in Murambinda. My husband is alive,” she insisted, adding that she now firmly believes that the 2011 funeral was an elaborate ruse. She suspects that Canisio’s disappearance was, in fact, a ploy to deprive her of their shared house, given her vocal resistance to vacate the property. “It was all a setup so that they could grab everything that we worked for. He denied me access to the property even before his purported death. All along I was staying in the rural areas,” she said. She vehemently disputed suggestions that she might have been hallucinating when she encountered the man presumed dead. Judith produced a death certificate for the late Canisio, which stated that he had passed away in 2011 and, curiously, that he was a widower. The death certificate which was issued on November 8, 2022, showed that Canisio died on November 7, 2011 at Harare Central Hospital. Her niece, Nyevero Chinoona also in an interview, said no one else besides Judith has claimed having met Canisio since his death in 2011. “We only heard that my uncle had passed away, but strangely, no one knows where he was laid to rest. My aunt had to obtain his death certificate from the Registry Office. “The incident in January was both frightening and shocking — my aunt is convinced that it was indeed her late husband she saw, and who are we to question her? She does not suffer from dementia or any mental illness,” she said. She suggested that it could have been the spirit of the departed that appeared to her aunt. However, Judith remains resolute, stating that she has already initiated legal proceedings to reclaim the house. “This is not just about a house — it is about justice. I have been silent and homeless for 14 years, while they were benefiting from the fruits of my labour. This should stop,” she said. Judith’s daughter, Sylvia, confirmed that Canisio had indeed passed away in 2011. “When he died, he was a widower, as his second wife had predeceased him. They had three children together. He had divorced my mother long before his death, which explains why his death certificate states he was a widower. Canisio is late; we buried him. She is confused and needs help. She should stop disturbing the dead,” stated Sylvia. Zimbabwe National Traditional Healers Association (ZINATHA) president, Mr George Kandiero, said what Judith witnessed could have been an apparition of her deceased husband rather than his physical appearance. “They have his death certificate, and all accounts confirm that the man is indeed dead. It is possible that what she saw was his ghost or spirit. Such sightings occur, especially if some rituals were performed at the grave by family members. “Another possibility is that Mbuya Machao is experiencing hallucinations of her late husband, which might lead her to believe he is still alive. In some cases, such visions are believed to be caused by malevolent forces, people with ill intentions placing a curse on her so that she appears mentally unstable. To some, she might appear mental unstable, but that could be a curse at play,” he said. *Manica Post*
