Chamangeni Zulu went out into the wild African bush and reportedly allowed the dangerous wild animal to attack him.
The hyena ate three of the 24-year-old’s toes along with his genitals. Chamengeni decided to sacrifice his manhood after moving from Malawi and being told that by doing so he would make a fortune.
He told a newspaper in Zambia: ‘I came from Malawi and when I arrived in Chipata I met some business persons who told me that the best way to become rich was to sacrifice parts of my body.’
He continued: ‘I went to a bush where I was instructed to be naked and a hyena came to me and started eating my toes and eventually my manhood was eaten.’
After he was attacked, Chamengeni crawled to the nearest road where he was picked up by passing police officers and taken to the hospital.
The gullible man is now being treated at Chipata General Hospital where doctors confirmed he had lost his genitals at the hands of hyenas on March 24.
