A WOMAN from Gweru caused a stir when she stripped naked in protest after she lost $200 to conmen commonly known as ofejafeja.
The woman, whose name could not be established, stripped naked near the famous Kudzanayi bus terminus along Third Street.
As she stripped in protest, people jostled to catch a glimpse while some quickly took out their phones to record videos and capture pictures as the incident unfolded.
After removing all clothes, she sat on the pavement and started screaming demanding that the thieves bring back her money.
Netsai Dube, a vendor at Kudzanayi bus terminus who witnessed the incident said she suspected the woman could be mentally challenged.
“I personally think that she is mentally challenged because no sane person will strip naked in front of people no matter the situation. If it was the issue of money, she could have reported to the police,” she said.
Some women assisted her to dress up while some shielded away men who had flocked to the scene to see the naked woman.
After dressing up, the lady asked for transport money from the crowd, to go to Arizona Village on the outskirts of Gweru, saying she no longer had money after the fejafeja saga.
The crowd managed to raise $6 which they assisted her with.
“I only came here today to get my orders, I don’t sell here. I do my vending at Arizona so please can you help me I just want money for transport to go back, I just want to go home,” she says in the video.
