Tawanda Gijima
(31) of Rushamhu Village, Chief Neshuro in Mwenezi sustained deep cuts in both
hand and is receiving medical attention at a local hospital.
His sister
Violet Mahondo confirmed the matter to The Mirror and said they are appealing
for assistance to pay his medical bills and to buy medication.
Circumstances
are that Gijima was guarding the field from baboons around 2pm with his uncle.
A baboon that
was being chased by dogs from another field passed through their field.
The baboon
killed one of the dogs during a fight and Gijima decided to run away. He,
however, tripped and fell on a fallen tree stub.
The baboon
attempted to grab him by the neck and after failing to do so began chewing his
arms.
“My brother
screamed for help and our uncle ran to his aid and managed to chase the baboon
away. The baboon left deep bites on Gijima’s hands,” said Mahondo.
Gijima didn’t
immediately go to the hospital and only went after receiving help from a
well-wisher.
“My brother
needs medication and we don’t have the money. We are appealing for assistance
to meet his hospital bills and buy medication,” added Mahondo.
Those who wish
to help Gijima can contact his sister Violet Mahondo on 0786788650 or The
Mirror Helpline on 0716895703/ 0775691380. Masvingo Mirror
