RARE VISITOR!
A FAMILY from Bulawayoa��s Northend suburb are in a dilemma after they woke up to find a dead a�?visitora�? by their doorstep in the form of a kudu.
The residents and family at the centre of controversy are struggling to come to terms with the incident.
The house owner Seretina Madhovhi said, a�?This is a mystery. IA� dona��t understand how a kudu got to be at my place.
a�?I am really afraid and a kudu is a very big animal which you can only expect to find in a jungle, not in town. To make it even more suspicious, why and how did it get to my house which is in the midst of other houses?a�?
She revealed that her domestic worker is the one who alerted her that there was an animal by their doorstep.
a�?It was around 6.30 am when the dog started barking continuously and my helper then went outside to check on what was happening.
a�?She rushed back to say there was a strange thing outside,a�? said Madhovi.
They alerted neighbours, but none of them had the courage to move closer and verify.
a�?We were all afraid of moving closer to the strange animal. It was after a courageous taxi driverA�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A�A� moved closer and identified that it was a bhalabhala (kudu).
a�?People then gathered courage to move closer and we discovered that it was dead and bleeding from the mouth. I then rushed to report the matter to police,a�? she said.
Moreblessing Mafukikwa (ABOVE), the domestic helper who was visibly in shock said she could still see the kudua��s footprints.
This means it came alive.
a�?The prints of the kudu are still visible, but it remains a mystery how it died.
a�?It was just bleeding from the mouth and ita��s so scary,a�? she said.
A resident who spoke on condition of anonymity suspects it was an act of witchcraft.
a�?We are Africans and when such incidents happen, we have no choice but to link it to supernatural powers.
a�?Some are of the opinion it was running away from somewhere and the puzzling question is, from where?a�?
The police reportedly took the dead kudu and handed it over to the National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority.
