Thief warned of sex change curse

A thief in Auckland, New Zealand may get more than he or she bargained for with a terracotta flower pot taken from a Gulf Harbour home.

The owner says it contains his African witchdoctor grandma's ashes and is now cursed.

In a letter to the Rodney Times, At du Plooy says his grandmother was a sangoma or witchdoctor who died in Africa aged 93.

A medium, he keeps in contact with her spirit and thought they could trace the pot, but grandma is unfamiliar with the area concerned.

Instead, she has cursed a one kilometre area around the pot with sex-change ions – meaning men may gradually change to women and vice versa.

Dumping the contents won’t break the spell, he says, only its return.
