LOCAL traditional healer Eddington Virimayi, popularly known as Samanyika, could have scored a first in the history of traditional medicine in Zimbabwe, as he claims to have successfully carried out a penis enlargement treatment on one of his clients. Based in Bulawayo’s Emakhandeni suburb, Samanyika has over the past couple of months been a much sought after entity, which has turned him into an overnight celebrity.
In an exclusive interview with Sunday Leisure last Friday, Samanyika spoke about the process.
“This is actually not the first time I have carried out such a treatment. I once treated a soldier who complained about his manhood being too thin. What makes this particular one unique is the patient’s size (that is the length) of the penis. When he first came to me seeking assistance, his manhood, when not erect, measured about 4cm but now it’s a whooping 17cm. When it is erect it measures about 25cm.
“My client first came to me in July seeking treatment, as he claimed to have had five marriages that had collapsed due to his size. I administered to him herbal medicines, which I prescribed him to take for a period of 28 days. Thereafter he was to take a raw egg to complete the course. However, my patient failed to follow instructions and his manhood grew to an abnormal size,” he said.
Samanyika said his patient, 43-year-old Manzinde Chimanimani’s manhood, after failing to follow instructions, measured about 20 centimetres.
“At the moment I am working on reducing the size of his manhood. Right now it measures 17 centimetres which is close to normal. The process is almost complete and I hope this time he will follow the instructions,” said Samanyika.
The patient, Chimanimani, said he had been married five times and all his marriages collapsed due to the size of his “peanut” sized manhood.
“I have been married five times and all those times the women left me because of my size. After I heard and read about Samanyika I quickly sought his assistance. When he administered me with the medicine, I was a little excited and confused about the days hence my manhood growing to an abnormal size. So far since I came back to him to reduce it in size, it has shrunk by about three centimetres. It takes about four days to complete the shrinking process,” he said.
Chimanimani noted that after his manhood grew to an abnormal size he was under excruciating pain and that the woman he was now co-habitating with complained of his “humongous” size.
“It’s so ironic how my manhood has always been a problem in my relationships. After the woman I live with now began complaining of my size I went to another woman, who also complained of the size. I have come back to Samanyika for treatment and it seems to be working,” he said.
Samanyika mentioned that manhood enlargement wasn’t very popular, compared to virginity restoration.
“Believe it or not women are my major clients. They come for all sorts of issues. A common issue in relation to this particular topic is that of virginity restoration. There are certain herbs we use to restore the broken hymen, which if after penetration the woman will bleed and feel pain like it is her first sexual encounter,” he said.
He noted that the process was particularly common among women who had husbands working outside the country.
Samanyika rose to fame about two to three months ago for his locking capabilities. Hailing from Chipinge district, Samanyika claims to be the medium of a powerful mermaid, which assists him in carrying out his healing duties.
“One issue I would like to emphasise to all that seek my help is to desist from asking me to carry out evil deeds such as killing. I am a healer and not a murderer,” he said.
