Injiva bites off passenger's finger while fighting goblins

What did he do in South Africa and who are these unseen people who want to kill him?

These are the questions which passengers who boarded a commuter omnibus from Johannesburg to Bulawayo were asking each other after a 29-year-old injiva fought with unseen people in the car and ended up biting off a passenger's finger during the brawl.

The woman (name with-held) thought she was dreaming upon realizing that her right hand middle finger was gone.

Mthulisi Ncube (in picture above) made the traveller's journey a terrible one when he kept on telling the driver and other passengers that there were people in the commuter omnibus who wanted to kill him.

It is unfortunate that people never took him serious as they had been told that he has delusions, but it turned out that there was more to what his family had said.

When the commuter omnibus was passing through Louis Pritchard, Ncube started his fight with the unseen people and broke a window as he tried to jump off the moving vehicle.

Luckily, some men who were sitting behind him managed to grasp his feet and saved him from jumping off. The drivers and passengers upon realizing that the man was a danger to himself and to passengers, they tied his feet and hands before continuing with the journey. When everyone thought the problem had been dealt with, Ncube untied himself and started fighting with the unseen man whom he called Mr D.D Zungewo.

He jumped and within a twinkle of an eye had bitten off the woman's middle finger. The way everything unfolded was really bizarre as the woman never felt the pain, but was shocked when he realized that Ncube had bitten off her finger.

The angry passengers joined the drivers in thrashing Ncube and they tied him using ropes before ordering him to sleep on the passage.

After the beating, he surprisingly came back to his senses and kept on apologizing for his actions saying, "It is only that you do not see what I will be seeing. There are people who want to kill me." He was untied at Zimbabwe's boarder and behaved well until early hours of the following day where he caused a drama.

Ncube ordered his wife to follow him and when she refused, he pulled her out of the commuter omnibus forcing the troubled woman to scream for help.

When a group of men tried to manhandle him, they failed as he was bellowing like a stabbed bull and it took more than 15 men to successfully tie him to the chair in the commuter omnibus. The woman and Ncube were ferried to Beitbridge hospital for treatment and according to his wife it was discovered that he was not mentally unstable as he answered well all the questions.

"At the hospital, he answered well all the questions and that is the reason he was given sleeping tablets and injections. "I do not know what is really happening with my husband, even the injections and pills are not working instead he has become more violent," said Ncube's wife.
