Sex potion kills 4 women

Bid to spice up love life goes horribly wrong

FOUR women, who include an inyanga's daughter, have died trying to enhance their sexual prowess.

Three of the women were employed by a hair salon in the same building as the inyanga whose daughter died.

The building is in Pinetown, just outside Durban.

Two of the women were identified as Nomusa Ndlovu and Bhunu Mbongwa, and the third employee of the salon was only known as Nana. Police could not disclose the identity of the inyanga's daughter.

The women allegedly drank a concoction that allegedly "enhances sexual appetite and performance".

They had allegedly bought the concoction from a traditional healer's daughter, whose father operates from the same building in the central business district.

The distraught family member of one of the dead women was yesterday still in shock.

Nicholas Ndlovu said his dead sister Nomusa had without fail took a cup of the medicine she said "heals all illnesses".

"On Friday she came home with a different concoction. She started getting sick that night, complaining of a terrible stomach ache.

"On Saturday she was rushed to the local KwaDabeka Clinic, where she died," said the distraught brother.

Police spokesperson Vincent Mdunge confirmed the deaths but said the traditional healer had not been arrested because there was no evidence that he was responsible for the deaths of the four women.
