HARARE – A village in Zimbabwe has been cursed with the birth of a half-man half-goat creature!

The creature was born in Lower Gweru, Zimbabwe, but died just a few hours after birth. It had goat legs and a tail, but a large head and face that resembled a baby!

The owner called the police shortly after its birth, as he had never seen anything like it. “It’s the first time that my goat did this. I have 15 goats and it’s this goat that gave me birth to most of them,” he said.

“Normally, dogs like to play around a goat when it has just given birth. This time the dogs kept their distance,” said one elderly villager, Themba Moyo.

The Midlands Governor and Resident Minister Jason Machaya believes it is a product of sinful beastiality. “The head belongs to a man while the body is that of a goat. This is evident that an adult human being was responsible. Evil powers caused this person to lose self control.”

The corpse was burned after its death, as residents feared its evil nature. But photos shown to a vet led him to believe it was just hydrocephalus, or water on the brain.

“The condition would have accounted for the abnormally large skull and for the chin, nose, ears and other body parts having shifted during development,” he said.
