“Do you really think it can get me Colby back?”

“Yes, from what I’ve heard the best person to go when it comes to korobela is Nandi Thwala, from Diepsloot”

“But should I use it on Colby? I don’t want our love to seem forced”

“You're not using it for love, but loyalty rather.” Lerato could see the doubt in her friend’s face. she thought to herself, that she should try convincing her to use it, “Come on just try it, in fact since tomorrow is Saturday. I’ll go with you, I say you should at least talk to Nandi”

“Ok I’ll go”, Cleo replied still not sure whether or not she should use voodoo on Colby, and yet she was also scared that if she didn’t, he would leave her, he has nothing left to hide after all.

After talking some more Lerato left. Cleo tossed and turned in bed all night thinking about what her friend had suggested. She decided that she’d use korobela on Colby.

Nandi has a client today, she’s a tall light skinned woman and next to her an equally tall medium toned woman, It was Cleo and Lerato. She could sense the heartbreak coming off Lerato in waves. “You have been hurt and your trust has been broken, what do you seek?” Nandi asked. The woman replied, “I seek loyalty”

“In what?”

“My relationship”

“What type of loyalty”

“He mustn’t have sex with other people besides me”

“How do you plan on doing that?”

“By using korobela”

“I must warn you, what you want will not come to you, but what will come will come doubled. I'll let you decide whether you really want to combine your souls and make them one, with sex as your main objective”

“I do not want sex, it is loyalty that I want”

“Loyalty in a sexual relationship is a bond whereby sex is used”

“Then yes, I’ll use it as a bond”

“If that’s what you want then I’ll give you what you seek.”

Nandi never understood why people use korobela despite her warning them, she can’t tell them the truth about the potion or she’ll be punished. she cannot save them from the agony they’ll go through in the near future.

She stands up and walks out the consultation room, into room that she only uses during consultation, her family knows that it is forbidden. She picks up ingredients whilst chanting mixing the spell, brewing the pain, putting it in a bottle, and sealing the abuse. She goes back to the room where the light skinned woman is sitting, she has never asked for her client’s names as she doesn’t want to develop any form of attachment to them, “I'd like to request that your friend go outside, the instructions I’ll give you should only be known by you.” She says. the friend stands up and leaves.

“Now listen to be and listen to me carefully” Nandi says, “In this bottle is what seek, do not let anyone touch it besides yourself, use an item of clothing that belongs to the person who you want to cast this spell upon. Call upon their name three times and make sure that they put those clothes on, and sleep with him. Do you understand?”

“yes” the woman replies

“Make sure he doesn’t see you using the korobela”

“Yes”

“You’ll pay me as much you see fit”

The woman opens her bag and gives Nandi R700, “I’m sorry, it’s all I have.”

Nandi takes the money and gives the woman the korobela “You may now leave” the woman stands up and leaves. Nandi watched the young woman as she left, may her ancestors protect her, she thought to herself.
