Restless Chivhu Ghost Haunts Family Leading to Exhumation

Chivhu family recently exhumed the body of their late father just one month after burying him because of his restless ghost.

They believed his restless spirit was haunting them.

Shadreck Rwizi, who was a polygamist, had passed away while living with his second wife in Mhondoro. He had children from his first marriage in Chivhu but moved to Mhondoro after the death of his senior wife.

Before his death, Rwizi had reportedly confided in his cousins that he wanted to be laid to rest in Chivhu. However, this led to disagreements between his two families about where he should be buried.

The second family claimed he had wanted to be buried in Mhondoro, causing a tussle over his final resting place.

Eventually, Rwizi was buried in Mhondoro, but strange occurrences soon followed. The family reported that dogs barked incessantly at night, and babies cried without reason, leading them to believe that his spirit was not at peace.

According to a close relative, one of Rwizi’s family members claimed to have received a message from the deceased instructing them to rebury him in Chivhu.

Faced with these eerie happenings, the family decided to exhume his body and fulfil his supposed wish for a Chivhu burial.

However, the exhumation wasn’t without its share of drama. Some family members opposed the idea, especially Rwizi’s second wife, who felt it was unfair to disturb his remains, given that he had been staying with her when he passed away.

This wasn’t the first time such an unusual event occurred within the Rwizi family.

On November 16, 2021, the body of their relative who had been given a pauper’s burial was exhumed from Granville Cemetery.

Garrison Ngoni Rwizi had been buried with one Maxwell Chimwamurombe in the same coffin.

As the family awaits a post-mortem examination in Harare for Shadreck Rwizi’s body, some members feel that a cleansing ritual may be necessary, considering the strange events surrounding these exhumations.
