Ambilikile Mwasapile (1934/1935 – 30 July 2021),[1] also known as Babu wa Loliondo, was a Tanzanian priest of the Lutheran Church who used a tree known as mugariga to make a non-flavored drink which he administered to patients reporting various chronic diseases.
Mwasapile lived in Samunge village in Loliondo, near Ngorongoro in northern Tanganyika.
Vision of healing
Mwasapile told people at that time that he had a vision in which he was instructed to make the potion he administers. His vision was of a tree that provided medicine and that many people would come to be healed. Upon waking, in the daily routine that followed, he claimed to have met a woman who had HIV, and she told him that she came for medicine. Mwasapile claimed to have followed a vision, gone into the bush, and taken portions of the tree as directed.[2]
