A multi-talented Zimbabwean international athlete who has won several awards in regional competitions as a female athlete has been arrested after it was discovered that he is a man.
Samukeliso Sithole, 17, was arrested last week after a female friend who had undressed in full view of the athlete found out that he was a male, the state dailies The Herald and Chronicle said. Sithole however insists that he is a woman, even though a medical doctor has confirmed that he is a man.
He told the court that he was born with both male and female organs and a traditional healer gave him herbs that helped him become 100 percent woman. Because his parents neglected to pay the traditional healer his full fees, his male organs recently grew back, Sithole said.
