STRONGMAN Arnold “Oxman” Zikhali has caught Zimbabweans by storm.
Many have expressed shock and others have expressed admiration for Zikhali’s incredible strength and strange eating habits.
The 36-year-old shocked many people with his average menu of 60kgs of sadza and 60kgs of rice every month.
On average, Zikhali said he consumes 2kgs of sadza, 2kgs of muriwo, six pints of lacto, one litre of juice and two litres of water for lunch.
He interchanges sadza with 2kgs of rice for supper.
Some have questioned the health implications of consuming such large quantities of food, while others have praised his dedication and discipline towards achieving his goals.
Zikhali has been training as a strongman for over five years and hopes to represent Zimbabwe at international strongman events.
His story has fascinated many Zimbabweans, with some even jokingly saying he could easily feed an entire village on his own.
Yesterday H-Metro put Zikhali to the test by filming a Facebook Live of him having lunch at a local restaurant where he finished 2kgs of sadza.
Below are some reactions from H-Metro readers:

MaZimba tinongobvuma zvese zvese. No human can eat all that in two hours before digestion takes place. Even biology haizvibvume izvozvo. Most foods apo take long to digest so it’s going to be difficult to pile them all consecutively without time to digest. – Gamuchirai Muchemwa.
