STUDENTS FROM the University of Limpopo, South Africa, staying at cottage of Mankweng unit 1, has claimed that around 03:30am on Sunday morning, a gogo (great-grandmother) victimised them by sneaking inside their rooms. The gogo, who said that she is from Thema family and married to Selepe family, jumped the fence of the cottage where students reside. It is amazing how the gogo managed to reach the place where students reside. This 65-70 years old gogo said that she is from Mongwaneng at Mentz and she travelled from there to Mankweng after Zion Christian Church (ZCC) young men chased her.
Gwangwa Annatacia, a student who is doing a final year degree in education said that their gates were locked, and they do not know how she could have managed to get in. "We believe that she was flying because we did not find her footprints," Annatacia said. The gogo sneaked inside the student’s room who were fast asleep. A student who believes he is a victim did not want to comment, but he was very stressed.
Abram Matsena from Bearco armed security said that they believe the old gogo is a witch. "I received a call early in the morning and I ran to this place. I arrived before the Mankweng police arrived and I tried to help the students remove the gogo from their room, but she refused. She said that the room belongs to one of her daughters named Ngwanatheko."
According to this gogo, she was at Spitzkop waiting for her team members to go somewhere and her team members did not arrive. " I decided to go and fetch some water in a nearby wetland when young ZCC men arrived and started chasing me. I ran and landed myself here," said the gogo. Mankweng policemen, who arrived at the scene, protected the old gogo from being hurt by the students. Constable Mamabolo refused to comment on the matter and referred media to the police station and also stopped media from taking any pictures.
Sergeant Lemekwane, who is also a member of police in Mankweng, said that the woman is mentally ill.
