Precious Nyathi, 36, from the village of Gokwe in north-west Zimbabwe
gave birth to a frog-like creature after eight months of pregnancy. The
baby died not long after in Gokwe District Hospital and was taken home
following which the elders instructed that the creature should be burnt
in public. The woman's husband, Mr Nomore, 39, who was not present at
the time the wife gave birth was perplexed at the sight of the newborn.
'I rushed home and was shocked to see a frog … that my wife had
delivered. At the hospital, they confirmed she went into labour but were
equally shocked.' Nomore recounted.
The woman who birthed the creature also lamented the misfortune, saying;
'I was expecting a child and this is what the heavens gave us. It's a
hellish experience that will haunt me all my life.'
The hospital confirmed the news but could not come up with a medical
explanation for the unusual occurrence. The hospital's spokesperson
said;
"She was our patient who would come for routine reviews together with
other pregnant women. We were shocked when she visited the hospital in
the company of her husband and some neighbours saying she had delivered a
frog."
