Date Posted: 11:15:41 11/09/03 Sun Author Host/IP: 142.161.177.122 From Zimbabwe today: Masvingo - Thirty-year-old Simbarashe Gurajena, who last week shocked Masvingo residents when he devoured a cobra, has died, The Standard has learnt. Gurajena, who said hunger had driven him to eat the snake, died at Masvingo Provincial General Hospital a day after he was admitted, hospital authorities and police confirmed. According to Masvingo provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Patson Nyabadza, Gurajena died shortly after his admission at the hospital. "We want to advise members of the public to desist from eating snakes and other unfamiliar animal meat products because some of the meat contains poison," said Nyabadza. Business temporarily came to a standstill in Masvingo last week on Thursday when thousands of shop attendants and passers-by rushed out to watch the starving Gurajena gobble down the 75-centimetre long cobra. He had caught the snake near Mucheke Stadium. Gurajena, who started by chomping the cobra’s head, had to be restrained by relatives before he had eaten the whole reptile. The relatives took him to the hospital where he later died. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
