Man eats raw baboon meat

Beitbridge Reporter
June 11, 2010



A MASVINGO man who is based in Beitbridge stunned the local community when he killed a baboon before eating its raw meat in full view of the public.
The man, believed to be in his early 40s and is commonly known as Mboko from Gutu in Masvingo province, spotted the baboon at around 8am.
The baboon was reportedly being attacked by dogs and he then assisted the dogs in killing the animal after which he skinned it. The baboon had strayed into a house in Dulibadzimu.
Soon after the incident, the man who, however, declined to reveal his real name, was later escorted by police to a nearby police base where he skinned the animal.
When Chronicle arrived at the scene, the man was busy skinning the animal with the crowd milling around him. The spectacle drew the attention of newspaper vendors and passersby.
A Chronicle newspaper vendor, Manuel Maramwa, who also witnessed the incident expressed shock.
“I was stunned when I saw a crowd walking towards the Dulibadzimu Police Base and on investigating, I saw a man skinning a baboon and everyone was shocked. He was shirtless and his pair of trousers was blood stained,” he said.
The man further drew the attention of travellers who were waiting to board buses when he trudged through the bus terminus carrying the meat.
This reporter followed the man to a nearby bushy area where he collected a pot of barleycorn before he started eating the uncooked baboon meat.
“I saw some vicious dogs attacking the baboon at a house near Dulibadzimu Bus Terminus and I then joined in and eventually killed it. I love baboon meat. In fact, it’s my favourite dish and I prefer eating it raw but, however, at times I either roast or cook it,” he said.

Retard.

How HIV/AIDS got into the human population?
Eating raw green monkeys or the skinning knife cutting the monkey eater?

Add the miracle of transglobal airline passenger travel, plus a gay airline steward mixing it up in Africa, and voila! "The Band Played On."

It might be a little less complicated than that.

Someone will kill him for being a witch if he dosnt die from disease first. Those folks take that stuff seriously.

I just returned from Northern Zambia and I know the Bemba people eat baboon and consider the brains a delicacy, but they do cook it first!

Andrew Zimmern has eaten worse...check him out on the travel channel

some locals in Uganda eat baboon cooked. no big deal. primate has been on the menu since forever. Zimmer an't right in the head

We quit eating squirrel brains here due to the big toodoo about Mad Cow Disease, Kreutzfeld Jacob, Kuru, and Chronic Wasting Disease,
and yes, Mad Squirrel Disease ...
Mere cooking does not kill the slow virus prions in a yummy batch of scrambled eggs and squirrel brains.
Sadly, this yummy dish is taboo in Kentucky, finally.
Maybe chronic wasting disease in our beloved hillbillies will go away now.
Mad Squirrel Disease could have plagued the Hatfields and McCoys.

use hillbillys have been mad for yrs. we didn't need no brains for that but now were mad a washington not each other2012 is coming fast boys

Killing a baboon....hanging it in a tree to rot a few days...and then eating it used to be standard training in boot camp for the Selous Scouts...so I am told.

tastes like chicken

sorry, someone had to say it

i think you will find that they boiled the rottrn first. You can safely eat rotten meat after it has been boiled FIRST. But you cannot reheat it without serious complications

I have often heard it said "all men are equal", does that apply to intelligence as well?

I did???

Excellent!

What did I say?

If it bleeds, it leads.

Had this fellow employed a little fire, and cooked his primate repast before eating it, this sad episode would not have been newsworthy.

Such is the state of the fourth estate.
