Speaking to The Herald, Amos Jokonya from Masoka Village in Mbire District, recounted how he was attacked by a buffalo while relieving himself in the bushes.
Said Jokonya:
I had gone to relieve myself when I suddenly found myself staring at a fretting and charging buffalo. I never got the chance to move an inch. Before I could run, the buffalo had attacked and I was on the ground. It lifted me and whatever happened next only God knows. After regaining consciousness hours later, I discovered that I was alive, but with my intestines out. My tummy had been ripped open and my private parts were badly injured. In fact, I no longer have my twins. I lost my manhood. I was heavily soiled and the buffalo had spattered all over the place. A scotchcart was quickly organised and I was taken to Masoka Clinic, where I was transferred to Harare Hospital where I spent several months in admission.
Jokonya has since been deserted by his two wives, for he can no longer perform conjugal duties. He also revealed that he now survives on handouts as he can no longer do any menial job to fend for himself.
