Mysterious Fires Follow NUST Lecturer, Leaving Him With Severe Burns

Methuseli Moyo, a veteran journalist and current lecturer at the National University of Science and Technology (NUST), has lost US$20,000 in cash to a series of mysterious fires that have seemingly haunted him and his family.

Moyo, who resides in Magwegwe West, Bulawayo, says the fires began about six weeks ago and have left him convinced that supernatural forces may be at play.

Throughout these incidents, Moyo has lost valuable possessions, including most of his formal clothes, important documents, and two couches. Tragically, the fires have also left him with severe burns across his body. He said:

I will be burning, but people around me can’t see the flames. I just shout for them to pour water on me, and only afterwards, the burns tell a story of what I have just been through.

Moyo revealed that he lost US$20,000 in yet another fire, which began inside his wardrobe. Remarkably, the flames seemed to target only the money, causing no damage to his clothes or the wardrobe itself. He told The Chronicle:

We had just collected $20,000 from the sale of our house in Rangemore, which we wanted to use to complete our new house in Pumula North.

Aware of these strange occurrences, I was planning to wrap the money in plastic and place it in a bucket of water, just in case the fire erupted again.

Moyo said that he had briefly stepped outside to speak with his mechanic, leaving the money in his wardrobe.

Moments later, he and his wife noticed smoke coming from their bedroom. They rushed inside and discovered that the smoke was coming from the wardrobe. He recalled:

There were flames, and the money had been reduced to ashes. You may not believe it, but despite being a wooden wardrobe, it did not catch fire, and the clothes were also not burned. The fire was only concentrated on the money which had only been in the house for 20 minutes.

Moyo has sought help from prophets and traditional healers, but none have been able to stop the fires for good.

Describing his ordeal as a “living hell,” Moyo pleaded for anyone he may have wronged, even unintentionally, to come forward so he could apologise. He said:

I’ve suffered so much I can’t take it anymore. My life and that of my family has been turned into a horror movie and we can’t bear it anymore. We have reached a stage where we feel the world must know what we’re going through.
