Alkebulan Azania, a South African woman, has recounted how her son fell ill and passed away after consuming a drink at a family ceremony.

Azania, who disclosed this in a Facebook post, claimed that the drink her son took later turned into a parasite which fed on his blood for two years until he died seven months ago.

According to her, the ‘creature’ moved inside her son’s body like a foetus before finally killing him.

“I buried a son who was given a drink in a family ceremony that later turned into a parasite which fed over his blood for two years and turned him to look like a pregnant woman,” she wrote.

“Hospitals made different tests and found nothing while my boy’s body turned into a walking skeleton. Healers could tell that there’s an animal feeding out of his blood yet never succeeded in destroying it.

“It’s been 7 months now under the surface and I’m only sharing this to remind yall that not all the food cooked in gatherings are meant to be consumed.”
