A Kwekwe-based traditional healer (sangoma) has made sensational claims that he possesses spiritual powers that can restore girls’ virginity.

The inyanga who claims to be half a prophet and half sangoma, said he can also lock couples, give enriching charms as well as enlarge men’s manhood.

Erdington Virimayi popularly known as Doctor Samanyika said restoring virginity was a walk in the park for him.

“I restore virginity to girls as long as they follow what I tell them to do. It’s just most men know me for enlarging manhood to the sizes of their choices but I also have a service for women,” he said.

He said he once enlarged a soldier’s penis and the particular soldier is talk of the town for the size of his manhood.

“He came back to me and thanked me for the service saying girls were falling over him after the service. That is how we do it,” he bragged.

Virimayi, a member of the Mugodhi Apostolic Church said there was nothing wrong with mixing traditional practices and Christianity.

He said he reads a Bible for his clients as he is both a prophet and an inyanga.

“I started healing in 1989 when I was in Grade 7 when I was receiving prophetic visions. I was then taken by a mermaid and I was initiated into traditional healing.

So I was a prophet until 2000 and now I am both a prophet and a traditional healer,” he said.

Virimayi claims his clientele base has gone regional with some of his clients coming from as far as South Africa, Botswana and Namibia.
