In a chilling incident along the N3 at Harrismith, a truck driver reportedly fell mysteriously ill, prompting an emergency ambulance evacuation. But the horror didn’t end there. When a replacement driver arrived to take the wheel, he stumbled upon a terrifying discovery inside the vehicle — a sinister mud pot believed to be a vessel of dark magic, known locally as “ukuthwala” or “kuromba.”
The eerie artifact, ominously placed in the truck’s cabin, sent chills down the spine of the new driver, who refused to continue the journey, convinced that malevolent forces were at play. Locals whispered of ancient curses and black magic rituals designed to control or sabotage unsuspecting victims on the road.
Social media lit up with similarly haunting tales. One user recalled finding a gruesome baboon hand hidden inside a truck, which he had to cleanse with salt before discarding it — a grim reminder of the dark rituals some believe lurk within the trucking world. Others debated whether the presence of traditional beer jars was harmless or part of the eerie enchantments.
Drivers expressed growing fear and reluctance to operate trucks they don’t own, haunted by the possibility of cursed objects and spiritual traps lying in wait. Meanwhile, some speculated that such fears might be less common among foreign drivers, hinting at a cultural divide in facing these supernatural horrors.
