Zambia: ‘Namwala Woman gives birth to a bird’

A 25 year old Woman of Namwala District has given birth to a bird in bizarre circumstances which has shocked medical staff at Namwala District Hospital.

Both District Commissioner Wilson Siadunka and Acting District Medical Officer Dr Davy Kaile confirmed this incident to ZANIS today.

The woman identified as Phaneti Ndabengwa of Kasenga area was admitted at the Hospital on Monday this week after she told medical staff that she was four months pregnant and had abdominal pains.

Dr Kaile narrated that the same night the woman went to the toilet after which she felt something coming out of her womanhood.

He said the woman called for help and nurses rushed to help her and were shocked to find a bird which came out of her womanhood.

Dr Kaile said the incident has left medical staff perplexed adding that a thorough Medical investigation conducted revealed the woman’s uterus was normal and further showed no signs of pregnancy.

He also said the Medical staff has kept the bird in the laboratory for further investigations.

In an interview with ZANIS, Ms Ndabengwa who looked shaken failed to narrate what happened.

The woman is alleged to have had an affair with a married man and given the high belief in witchcraft among people in Namwala, there is speculation that the woman could have been bewitched for going out with someone’s husband.

Policing the Continent

Had friends come stay, they were on there way from Kenya. We shared stories of run-ins with police in Africa, they have to be some of the best I have ever heard. There is a certain approach that the authorities here, especially the police take with "muzungu" or "makiwas". (which literally translates white people - interestingly it comes from mzungukaji which means "those who move around" after european and asian traders operating in the 18th century).

There is almost a sense of authority that needs to be stamped right at the beginning, as long a you approach them on an equal footing, showing respect but no sense of sub-serveant (sp) behaviour there is seldom any bad feelings.

What happened to me recently has to go down as a classic tale....after being stopped by the police a young woman officer comes to the window and greets me. In an attempt to make conversation I politely say....."nice day" to which she replies.....

"thats easy for you to say, I am black I absorb the heat"

Introduction

I decided to start this blog, not necessarily because I won't people to read it but mostly because I live a rather bizarre life in a capital city in the middle of Africa and I need to record the goings on. Since blogging is the only form of media self-indulgence I can tolerate ).... well I thought I would take up the cause in ernest.
