By A Correspondent| Controversial comedienne Felistas Murata Edwards better known as Mai Titi has showered praises on popular traditional healer Sekuru Banda over his philanthropic work which has seen him assisting ailing comedian Marabha with a seven-roomed house.
Mai Titi narrated how the philanthropic traditional healer helped her close friend recover a lost laptop within seven days, a move she said forced her to change her perceptions about his value in modern day society.
In a Facebook live yesterday, Mai Titi said she never used to take Sekuru Banda seriously due to her Christian faith but had found value in his work as it helps in keeping society away from crime.
Mai Titi said;
“Kune murume anetsa, inini munongozviziva kuti ndiri straight family, inzwaika ndoda kukutaurirai makuhwa, inini munoziva kuti ndiri munhu anonamata anoenda kuchechi
“Sekuru Banda, ndanga ndisingambovabhilivhe, pavakatanga kubuda vachinzi Sekuru Banda Sekuru Banda.
“Sekuru Banda vakanyanya, vaya vaya vanobirwa, vachikohwa pavasina kurima, vachikohwa pavasina kushanda, Sekuru Banda vakandiitira mashura mazuwa apfuura
“Inini I didn’t believe it, ndobva pabiwa ma laptop evamwe vasahwira vangu, ndobva shamwari yangu yaenda kuna Sekuru Banda, inini ndini nyakuti unoenda kwa Sekuru Banda ikoko akakuudza kuti zvinhu zvinodzoka ndiyani, ndobva sekuru Banda vati don’t worry ndiri kukupa seven days.
“Ndobva paya shamwari yangu yapihwa seven days na Sekuru Banda, ndobva seven days dzapera, murandakadzi akaona ma laptop ari pamusiwo pagedhi, zvikanzi ndiwe wakamaka Sekuru Banda hona ma laptop akadzoka.”
Mai Titi said Sekuru Banda was doing a job in keeping society in good check as thieves had become a menace in the country.
In another Facebook live video, Mai Titi who was in the company of DJ Shugeta hailed Sekuru Banda for building a house for popular comedian Marabha.
She said through Sekuru Banda’s good gesture, Marabha was on course to become a landlord with Shugeta saying they were assisting the former street theatre actor to marry and settle down.
Mai Titi said Sekuru Banda had redefined philanthropy as he had assisted without going public about it unlike other socialites who are in the habit of blowing trumpets about their donations.
Sekuru Banda is famed for his ability to help theft victims recover their stolen goods (back to sender), bringing back lost lovers and casting out bad spirits.
He has of late added another feather to his influence after venturing into philanthropic work and has to date assisted the elderly cope with COVID-19 induced lockdown and other prominent people including comedian Marabha and sports personality Alphonse Zvenyika.
He is currently building a house for Marabha and has also donated a residential stand to a former Air Zimbabwe engineer-turned destitute.
