Loosely translated, he said: a�?It is surreal. If I had the power I would bring her back so that we can right our wrongs by talking. But thata��s no longer possible because she has left me without me having told her that I forgive her.a�?

When one of the mana��s Facebook friends asked him what had happened, he wrote: a�?Ndoda ngombulele uMy zozo (sic)a�? (a�?Man, I killed my Zozoa�?.)
