'I have never tasted the joy of being with a woman'

For more than 30 years Khazamula Nobela has tried but failed to sleep with a woman.

"My problem started when I was 20 years old.

"I had never had sex before, but when we went to the bedroom I realised I had a problem," he said.

"I have grown this old and I have never tasted the joy of being with a woman," he said.

He has tried different medicines including drinking a lot of traditional beer.

"Nothing has helped," he said.

"My 4-5 (manhood) has disempowered me. Women are laughing at me. I want to have a normal life and I want to have children. I need help before it's too late."

He hopes there is a traditional healer or a prophet out there who can solve his problem and save his life.

"I'm hoping somebody can help me perform when I'm with a woman and not just when I'm by myself," he said.

The women in Makuleke Village, Limpopo, where he comes from, laugh behind their hands and shake their heads.

"Everybody knows he is a toothless bulldog," one of them said.

Local traditional healer Nwahasani Makondo (75) said: "A merciless person has cast an evil spell on Khazamula but it's not too late for him to get help."

He said he has helped many people in the past.

"I've helped people from all over Mzansi and I'm sure I can help Khazamula."
