“I Regret It”: Sungura Musician Blessing Muroti Gomo Says He Took a Wealth Charm and Now He’s Haunted

By Desire Tshuma

JOHANNESBURG/HARARE — Sungura musician and businessman Blessing Muroti Gomo, whose music is also found on YouTube and who has a growing TikTok following, is at the center of a disturbing online confession that has left fans shaken and divided over what is really happening to him.

In a series of TikTok videos circulating this week, Gomo, who is based in South Africa, says he regrets seeking a kuromba a wealth-enhancing ritual from a Mupostori in Gokwe, Midlands province. He alleges the charm has backfired and is now causing him torment. In one clip, he appears distressed, speaking directly to the camera and asking for help. He also points to what he says is a large snake seen moving around his body, claiming it is linked to the ritual.

“I regret why I took the wealth charm from the Mupostori,” Gomo says in the video, his voice breaking as he appeals for prayers and assistance. He does not name the Gokwe prophet in the clips seen online.

Gomo has built a following in the Sungura scene and as an entrepreneur in South Africa. His latest release, the single track Broken Heart, is available on YouTube. The song carries a clear warning about the effects of ritual practices, with Gomo advising listeners to seek divine help from God rather than turn to charms.

The sudden shift to a public cry for help has sparked concern among followers in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Some are praying for him, others are questioning whether he is facing a mental health crisis, and a growing number are not sure if the ritual claim is real or a skit performed as an artist.

At the time of publication, attempts to reach Gomo directly for comment were unsuccessful. We are seeking to speak with him personally to understand what he is undergoing and to give him the opportunity to share his experience in his own words.

The allegations against the Gokwe Mupostori remain unverified, and no formal complaint has been made public. Mental health professionals often warn that distress linked to beliefs in spiritual misfortune should be treated with both cultural sensitivity and professional care.

For now, Gomo’s TikTok confession stands as a sad, public unraveling from a Sungura artist warning others through music to a man saying he is trapped by a decision he wishes he could undo.
