Legend
has it when people disappeared in the water; they came back years later as
traditional healers with strong powers having been taught everything about
healing during their time in the underwater world.
The rules of the aquatic realm are very delicate and rituals need to be followed precisely. It is believed a person abducted by mermaids normally comes out of the Zimbabwe river by themselves.
Some can go for as long as two years, while others for as little as four months however, if such rituals were done before the right time the person could remain underwater forever.
