THE family of Khulekani "Mgqumeni" Khumalo rushed to Johannesburg from KwaZulu-Natal yesterday only to find that they had been duped again into believing that the dead award-winning maskandi musician was alive.

Just a day after a man appeared in court for telling thousands of fans that he was the resurrected musician, a Johannesburg traditional healer convinced family members that their son was still alive.

Mgqumeni's cousin, Sakhiseni Mseleku, said a traditional healer phoned a family member claiming that the dread-locked singer was alive.

"The traditional healer said that he knew where the real Mgqumeni was. He said that he was somewhere in Johannesburg central.

"He told us to come to him with a spotless white goat so that he can perform a traditional ritual before we could see him."

When the Mselekus arrived at the meeting place with the goat in tow, they could neither find the traditional healer nor Mgqumeni.

Mseleku said the family was devastated by the fresh claim.

Hay shame i feel for this family, they must just accept that Mqgumeni passed away and he is not coming back and that amagqirha/xhwele amaninzi are very good liars ever.

Why are they kept on being fooled by criminals? Mgqumeni was buried and this family must live with this fact and stop being abused by criminals. The funny thing is they allow this abuse to go on.

This is a particularly nasty kind of fraud and is quite common. It is called "fraud recovery fraud". This is also an example of how beliefs and superstitions can lead to one being defrauded. Death is a one way exit - not a revolving door exit. The family is being exploited here and the police should act harshly against the fraudsters.

@tpaz - jesus and lazarus were fictional characters with fictional events surrounding their lives. Give up on malema already. This psychophancy on your part is not good for our democracy.
