Harare, Zimbabwe – Socialite and businesswoman Natalie Mhandu, popularly known as "Enchantress," has publicly addressed the sensational witchcraft allegations made against her, dismissing them with a mix of principled denial and biting sarcasm.
Mhandu stated that if she possessed the kind of powers she is accused of, she would use them to secure a husband and more money for herself, not to harm a former friend.
Her comments come in the wake of her recent court appearance, where she faced charges under Zimbabwe’s Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act for allegedly engaging in witchcraft-related practices. The 34-year-old was accused by her ex-friend, Tatenda Butau, of casting a spell on her. Mhandu was released unconditionally following a brief court hearing.
"Not in a million years," she stated firmly when asked if she would use witchcraft on anyone. "Because I don’t believe in taking someone’s free will. I don’t believe in taking someone’s free will."
"Blessed if I could bewitch people. I’m an unmarried 34-year-old woman. I mean, I would have bewitched a husband for myself," she explained. "One of the things that I want so badly is a husband. I would love to have a husband and have more children. So, do you really think I would waste my energy going to be another woman instead of going to look for a man to marry me?"
She further added that wealth would be high on her "bewitching wish list." Known for her unapologetic love of money, she asserted that her focus would be on enriching herself, not on engaging in petty disputes.
"I’ve got a number of things I would like to achieve. I mean, if I actually had access to bewitching, like if I actually knew the rituals of that nature, I would first use them on, you know, a couple of things that would benefit me. Making more money, particularly. I’ll tell you one thing about me. I am publicly known for loving money more than anything," Mhandu concluded.
