SOME people will do anything possible to gain wealth, but one Gokwe man took to it to strange levels when he acted on the advice of an inyanga to have sex with a goat to make money.

When he was about to complete a sex session with a goat, Dickson Mutakati (28) ran out of luck.

A source said a villager, Trymore Mpofu — who was searching for his missing cow was disturbed by the bleating of the goat and headed where the sound was coming from. He caught Mutakati busy like a rabbit on the goat.

The incident which has become a subject of discussion at Sothile Village in Gokwe ward 25, Chisina 3 — happened last week on Wednesday.

Speaking to B-Metro , Mpofu said at first he assumed the goat had been attacked by wild animals.

“I was disturbed by the
bleating of the goat, as such I had to swiftly move in the direction where the sound was coming from and I got shocked when I found Mutakati having sex with Charles Simbi’s goat.

Upon seeing me he fled into the bush leaving his belt and a pair of shoes,” said Mpofu.

Mpofu said he reported the matter to village head Madison Masendu.

Masendu who also
doubles up as Chief Njelele’s personal assistant confirmed
the incident: “We launched a manhunt and arrested Mutakati at Gokwe Business Centre last week on Friday.

When asked why he had sex with a goat he said he was instructed by an inyanga to have sex with it so as to get money since he was leading a life of abject poverty.”

Ward 25 councillor Shungu Maruza said: “I would like to advise villagers to always keep a watchful eye on their livestock and I would like to condemn in the strongest terms acts of bestiality.

I would like to warn community members that whoever is caught will be punished severely,” he said.-B-Metro
