Comedian and musician Freddy Manjalima, better known as Kapfupi, said that he, and his son Clive, are struggling due to witchcraft and sabotage by “haters”.
Kapfupi rose to fame at the turn of the millennium as a comedian before he ventured into music.
He released his debut album “Uchakanga Waya” in 2005. In 2010 he released “Mai Nga”, the same year he won an accolade in the Song of the Year category of the National Arts Merit Awards.
However, around 2015, Kapfupi failed to release an album due to financial problems, and since then, his fortunes have seemed to plummet.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/kapfupi-wants-evil-spirits-haunting-him-exorcised-struggling-to-feed-family-spotted-at-traditional-healers-shrine">The Sunday Mail</a> on the sidelines of Simon Mutambi’s recent album launch in Waterfalls, Kapfupi claimed that his misfortune is due to the influence of evil forces that have been set against him. He said:
<blockquote>
Witchcraft is real; it has destroyed my life. I have close friends and relatives who do not want me to succeed. They are working hard to destroy me using juju.
Even if I am to get financial assistance today, I doubt that will help much in reviving my career. I first need to be cleansed of evil spirits that are haunting me.
My son Clive is also struggling in the music industry, and I believe it is because of the same spell that is affecting me. Anyone willing to assist can get in touch with me.
I need to act so that my son does not suffer like me. He is now five years into the music industry, yet he has nothing to show for it. There is certainly something wrong with our family.
</blockquote>
Kapfupi said he needed deliverance from evil spirits so that he could revive his career. He added:
<blockquote>
I am currently facing serious financial challenges and struggling to look after my family. I made a big sacrifice to attend this launch because I have a long history with Mutambi.
I could have bought his new album like my fellow musicians did, but I cannot do so because I am broke.
</blockquote>
Kapfupi is one of several artistes who have been given cars by controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo. He said:
<blockquote>
I want to thank Sir Wicknell for the precious gift. I no longer had a car. I was using public transport and walked for shorter distances. It was so embarrassing for a popular figure like me.

"Witchcraft Is Real", Kapfupi Blames Evil Forces For His Struggles

Radio personality Tafadzwa “Shugeta” Ben has said comedian-cum-musician Fred “Kapfupi” Manjalima is no longer working with Charles “Marabha” Mapalume, again, following misunderstandings caused by the alleged misappropriation of donations meant for the latter.
Good Samaritans from all over the country had joined hands to save Marabha after he fell ill. Several well-wishers bailed him through medical bills, food, clothes and cash among other help.
However, a war of words, involving comedienne Mai TT and founder of Mahwindo Foundation Wanisai “Mahwindo” Mutandwa has erupted and there has been accusations and counter-accusations of stealing donations meant for Marabha, and the allegations have sucked in Shugeta as well.
Shugeta revealed that with effect from this past Sunday, they were cutting Marabha loose. Said Shugeta:
<blockquote>Kapfupi was supposed to be here and live here and isusu as a team, this is beyond us, kutanga nhasi (Sunday) we no longer work with Marabha.
It is a tough decision which we have been forced us to make due to circumstances.
We had good times working together, takumbomusunungura kubva muchitima chedu, tikuda ambozvimirira ega.
I think many of you are aware about Marabha’s plea for assistance over his health, barely a month after tati ngaadzoke muchikwata.
Kapfupi couldn’t come on this live but he is not happy.
Late last year, I met Kapfupi and he asked me to manage him and we started working together and many people would see me on his skits
People would suggest we work with Marabha and I even advised Kapfupi kuti vashande vese naMarabha and we agree.
This year we took him back and we realised that he had a problem which we didn’t know.
We started assisting him.
These past few days, Mahwindo has been doing some live videos achiti anaShugeta nana Kapfupi vari kudya mari yaMarabha.
Hapana mari yandombodya, handina mari yandombobata and I even suggested that to his sister in law.
We then roped in Samuel Manjalima, brother to Kapfupi and we started go fund Marabha.
There are many people who sent their monies including anaMai TT and others.
I was surprised kuti Mahwindo akuti ndikudya mari, and this forced us to take action.</blockquote>
