<\/a>Everything came to a halt at the funeral of Ashel Abigail Zananda (14) in Sigali Village, who is believed to have been dead for three days before she dramatically came back to life, got out of the coffin, ate porridge and drank water before dying for good after being admitted to the hospital on the same day.<\/p>\nA cousin of the deceased, Ashel Admore Mashonganyika (46), narrates the occurrence saying that her sister had complained of a chronic headache for close to three months before she died.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe died at our aunt\u2019s residence in Empress where she was being prayed for by a certain prophetess. After she died, we asked for her body for burial\u2026\u201d adding that after three days they had started making burial arrangements for her. To their amazement, the prophetess asked the girl\u2019s relatives why they wanted to bury her saying that she was still alive.<\/p>\n
According to a Nehanda Radio report, the village chief, village heads, relatives, and residents who witnessed the dramatic incident were baffled. However, it could not be established whether a medical practitioner or police had initially confirmed the girl dead.<\/p>\n
This unlikely event has left people with a lot of questions, as evidenced by some on social networks who questioned whether the girl was really dead at the time of the incident, as her death was not confirmed by any specialist.<\/p>\n
This incident could be ruled as paranormal activity, and Gokwe has been crowned the witchcraft capital of Zimbabwe, popularly known for its practice of black magic. Early this year Zim Eye reported that an army had been called to exterminate witches in the area.<\/p>\n
