Terrence Mawawa, Masvingo|A man from the Boroma area of Masvingo was last week caught having sex with his cow in broad daylight -in a ritual exercise after being instructed to do so by a traditional healer.
The police revealed to ZimEye.com, Simon Dhewa was herding cattle in the grazing area in village 3, Boroma area, Masvingo District when he tied the cow’s legs with a rope.
Villagers also told ZimEye.com, Dhewa was being haunted by family problems and he visited a local traditional healer who instructed him to have sex with his cow to exorcise the bad omen tormenting his family.
Dhewa was spotted by local villagers having sex with his cow while uttering strange words in the bush near the grazing area where he was herding cattle.
“The man went to a n’anga who instructed him to have sex with his cow. He is being tormented by a spate of family challenges so he wanted to exorcise the supposed evil spirits troubling his family,” said a local villager.
Dhewa has since been arrested and will soon appear in court facing bestiality charges.
Acting Masvingo Provincial Spokesperson Kudakwashe Dhewa said he was waiting to receive a report on the incident.
As a result of socio-economic challenges, desperate Zimbabweans have been forced to perform rituals in order to attain affluence.
