A family from Entumbane suburb in Bulawayo found a naked unidentified man who was speaking in an unknown language sitting in front of its gate.
The naked man was injured on his leg and there was blood all over the place.
A family member who requested anonymity told The Sunday News that the incident took place around 5 AM on Monday. He said:
There was a strange noise from our gate as if someone was shaking it, I then got out of the house and found this man sitting in front of our gate and there was blood all over the place.
We tried talking to him but no one understood his language as it wasn’t a language that we are familiar with, Chimanimani was the only word we understood from this man.
We can’t really say he was a thief or someone we know as it was our first time seeing this man.
A neighbour who claimed to have been the first person to see the man said she was on her phone when she heard strange sounds coming from outside. She said:
I thought it was someone coming from Emakhandeni using the bushy area. I initially ignored but within a short space of time, I heard a sound of a shaking gate and thought maybe it was a thief trying to break into my neighbour’s house. This took place at 5.15 AM.
When I checked, at first I didn’t see anything, I then climbed on top of a heap of soil that is when I saw that there was someone by my neighbour’s gate.
I then started calling people and when they came we tried talking to this man but we failed to understand him due to the language he was using.
After some time he started saying Lobengula, and Tshabalala and tried to run away, then he was behaving normally when the police came.
