Precious Nyathi, 36,
from the village of Gokwe in north-west Zimbabwe gave birth to a frog-like
creature after eight months of pregnancy. The baby died not long after in
Gokwe
District Hospital and was taken home following which the elders instructed that
the creature should be burnt in public. The woman's husband, Mr Nomore, 39, who
was not present at the time the wife gave birth was perplexed at the sight of
the newborn.
'I rushed home and
was shocked to see a frog … that my wife had delivered. At the hospital, they
confirmed she went into labour but were equally shocked.' Nomore recounted.
The woman who
birthed the creature also lamented the misfortune, saying;
'I was expecting a
child and this is what the heavens gave us. It's a hellish experience that will
haunt me all my life.' The hospital confirmed the news but could not come up
with a medical explanation for the unusual occurrence. The hospital's
spokesperson said;
"She was our
patient who would come for routine reviews together with other pregnant women.
We were shocked when she visited the hospital in the company of her husband and
some neighbours saying she had delivered a frog."
