The state said it was clear Kachidza’s crimes were motivated by greed as he killed his victims after receiving money. Kachidza said he met his girlfriend in Soshanguve and that after a fallout in 2015 she stole one of his T-shirts. He said she used it for muti and to bewitch him.“You are going to prison your whole life.” He told the court he felt he had been bewitched.
