In what can be described as a most shocking case of altercation, two women shocked people when they engaged in a fight over water used to wash corpses.

Two street vendors in Lobengula, Zimbabwe, fought over dirty water acquired from dead bodies in a local funeral parlour, which they use to attract clients.
According to Zimbabwe News Online, the two who were identified as Viola Tshuma and Molene Hadebe, fought a fierce battle, after Hadebe, took a bigger portion of the dead corpse water before the arrival of her colleague.
The two vendors, who are said to be close friends, acquired the 'evil water', from a certain funeral parlour along Hebert Chitepo Street in Bulawayo, for their daily business.
The water according to other vendors who were present at the scene of the fight, is usually sold to vendors and women, who use it for different ritual purposes. It is also used to tame husbands from being harsh after discovering that their wives are going out with boyfriends or cooling their tempers in order for women to rule.
Vendors who were also interviewed revealed that the water which would have been extracted from the funeral houses after a dead body is cleaned, is also used to wash fruits , like, apples, peaches and tomatoes, to lure more business, as the water, calls more people, like those who would have attended the funeral.
According to several vendors in Bulawayo, a number of undertakers are selling water from dead corpses, and they make 'good money'.
The two friends were arrested, and charged with public violence, before they were fined and released.
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.

I pity those men that patronize all these pepper soup joints and cafeterias. Many of the so called owners wash their private parts early in the morning and pour the water in the pot of soup for customers to eat. Some even mix early morning faeces.
