Two people come out of a building and into a story

It was a Saturday afternoon when my neighbor was hosting a party; his daughter’s 21 birth day. It was a big party, everyone was enjoying as there were lots of drinks that were served (including wine, juice, alcohol etc).  The weather was hot.  The music was very high no one could sleep that noise, because they party until the evening. 

There was this old woman who was passing by, she couldn’t resist hearing the noise, so she went to the house and ask if they could turn the music down, but Zintle’s parents told her to get lost and mind her own business or she can join the party, she was devastated and she say these words “this party of yours will end up in violence and you will be crying and blaming yourself’’. She said those words in an angry manner and leave. The question is what happens when you don’t listen to old people when they are talking?

The party carries on as usually, but during 9:00pm it was time for Zintle’s speech, but she was missing, everyone was looking for her until 12:00 am, by that time the party was already over, they call her but her phone was off, they went to sleep not knowing their daughter was, they called the police to search for the girl. The next morning they were called to come to the police station to identify the body of a naked woman if its not their daughter, when they enter you can only the screams, that tells you its her, her hands and private parts were cut off. No one knows who did that, until they went to the traditional healer, they were told it was the woman they have conversation with during the party, but they could not provide evidence to the police. It was difficult to deal with the loss and knowing that the woman could not be arrested. They pray until one day the old woman came into their house and told them their daughter is alive. How? The parents didn’t want to believe it, the woman told them I took your daughter while she was outside and I use my muthi to call her, but she’s unable to comeback because you already bury her, or she can come back when the old woman die of sickness.

This is true story. After five years the woman dies of cancer, after three months the girl came back. It was the story of a girl who came back from dead.
