A family in Dedza’s Njonja village is gripped by fear after discovering a Gule Wamkulu at their doorstep.
The incident, which occurred early this morning, has left the family shaken, with homeowner Steriya Sanza expressing deep concern. According to Sanza, nobody in the family is part of the Gule Wamkulu tradition, making the discovery even more shocking.

Village Chief Salmoni has confirmed the incident and says they are waiting for the Gule to arrive. The community is abuzz with speculation and fear, with many trying to make sense of the unexpected event.
The Gule Wamkulu is a traditional Nyau secret society in Malawi, known for its masked dancers and spiritual significance. While it’s revered by some, others fear its perceived supernatural powers. This cultural context is crucial in understanding the community’s reaction to the incident.
