Man told court prostitute turned into donkey

A man caught having sex with a donkey stunned a court on Monday by claiming that the animal was in fact a prostitute he pulled from a nightclub. Sunday Moyo, 28, from Mandava township in Zvishavane, Zimbabwe, was charged with bestiality on Monday.

Zvishavane magistrate Mildred Matuvi heard how Moyo was found by police officers on routine patrol performing a sex act on the animal inside his yard just after 4am last Sunday. The donkey, which had been tied by the neck to a tree, was lying on the ground.



Although he was not formally asked to enter a plea, Moyo admitted committing the crime but told the magistrate an enthralling tale which had the court in stitches. “Your worship, I only came to know that I was being intimate with a donkey when I got arrested,” he began.

“I had hired a prostitute and paid US$20 for the service at Down Town night club and I don’t know how she then became a donkey.” The magistrate remanded Moyo in custody until October 27 and also ordered that he be examined by two government psychiatrists.
