A Bulawayo thief yesterday confessed to an angry mob, after a bashing, that he uses his penis, to detect money from unsuspecting shoppers and street -merchants in the city.
The thug (pictured) who was forced by the furious mob to surrender all his loot, was seen holding his hard erect manhood, before begging for forgiveness.
He vowed never to rob shoppers again.
Asked why he chose to rob people, the man said that he tried to look for employment without success, thereby landing dangerous and life threatening job after assurance from a Makokoba traditional healer, that he will one day score.
“I was working as a Messenger for a company in Kelvin, and the company closed two years ago, and I had no option but visit Malume Mhloloza in our township of Makokoba to help us with charms for lucky.
I have always been successful in my job. When my penis erects, it’s a sign that the person who has just passed near me has a lot of cash or a reasonable amount of money,” he said to a laughing crowd.
Unlucky Lucky was whisked away by plain clothes police officers to Bulawayo Central Police station, where he is helping police with investigations.
ZimEye.com visited the named traditional healer in Makokoba, for comment, but were denied to take pictures of his place of residence, as bouncers pushed this reporter away. Maulume Mhloloza could neither deny nor confirm that he assists thieves with lucky charms.
“Go and ask the guy who told you that I help, on what kind of help he requested. If you also need help from me I can give you, what I need is everyone to survive,” he said before warning this reporter on taking pictures.
