"My dead hubby SMSes me!" - Daily Sun

"Annie: Johannes even asks me for airtime when he's broke" - front page lead, October 20 2014

Daily Sun (October 20 2104) - ANNIE told Daily Sun her dead husband has been turned into a zombie.

He sends her SMSes telling her how much he misses and loves her.

AND SHE BUYS HIM AIRTIME SO HE CAN TEXT HER FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE!

Annie Moeta (53), from Phomolong in Tembisa, Ekurhuleni said her beloved husband, Johannes Manoko died in 2008 at the age of 48.

Shortly after his death, Johannes' cellphone disappeared. Annie said she searched everywhere but couldn't find the missing phone.

For three years Johannes was silent, but then one night in 2011, said Annie, her phone beeped and there was a message from her late husband!

"I couldn't believe it when I received a loving SMS from him telling me how much he loves and misses me," she said.

"I don't sleep. I cry every night because when I wake up I can't do the things a woman wants to do for her husband."

She said she comes across him in the street sometimes but he runs away from her. "He can't speak to me. I can't come near him. I'm always left in tears," she said.

"It breaks my heart to see him suffering like this."

According to Annie, it is not only her husband who is a zombie. She said, including her husband, she has lost five relatives in five years who all died in a similar way. They all complained of headaches and all died at night.

Johannes died in 2008. Her uncle France Mphao died in 2009, her sister Lucy Mahlodi in 2010, in 2011 her other sister Josephine Moeta died and her aunt Natshilo Pheedi passed on in 2012. They all died in August.

But all her dead relatives come to her house as zombies asking her to join them in the world of the dead.

"We buried all my relatives in Polokwane, Limpopo," she said.

Annie said she went to the police to help her find out where the SMSes were coming from they told her they don't deal in such cases.

"I have been to many sangomas who all told me Johannes is in KZN while the rest of the family is in Joburg.

"They told me the people we thought were dead are not really dead but are working for other people."

She said she met one of her dead relatives in a work uniform going to work last Saturday.

"This is torture. I know the people who did this want me dead too," she said. Every day I wait for my day to come. I just leave my life in the hands of God."

Annie said she wants people who have the knowledge to help her husband's spirit find rest.

"It hurts me to see him suffering. I cannot heal from the pain of his passing. Life is unfair to me," she said.

) Sangoma Ntsimb'edlezinye Ngema said a zombie is taking the family members.

"Someone performed a ritual on the husband's grave after he was buried," said Ntsimb'edlezinye.

He said they need to perform rituals at the husband's grave and at her house.

"If they don't, one day she will get a message from her late husband and she could go blind or mute when she reads it."

He said the zombie is using her husband to fetch family members.

"The zombie decides who it wants next and then it kills that person in their sleep," he said.
