Man lets hyena eat his penis to get rich

A Malawi man lost his manhood and three toes to a hyena that attacked him as he carried out a witchdoctor's instructions in a bush in Zambia.

Chamangeni Zulu is reportedly admitted to Chipata General Hospital in Zambia after a hyena bit off his manhood and three toes on his left foot in bizarre circumstances.

The young man in his 20s said he lost his body parts in his quest to become rich.

Zulu told Times of Zambia that business persons from Malawi told him that the best way to become rich was to sacrifice parts of his body.

"On 24th March, 2014 around 04:00 hours, I went to a bush where I was instructed to undress and a hyena came to me and started eating my toes and eventually my manhood was eaten," he said.

He said the witchdoctor had not indicated the body parts that would be 'lost' and how, although he was told he would encounter a hyena.

Mr Zulu said after the incident, he crawled to a nearby road where some Police officers picked him and took him to the hospital.

The man told the newspaper that regardless of losing some important parts of his body, he still wants to be rich.

Doctors at the hospital confirmed Zulu lost his manhood and three toes after being bitten by a hyena
