In a bizarre sequel of events in the western town of Chinhoyi, mythical mermaid creatures in the Hunyani river which stretches from Mozambique to President Robert Mugabe’s homestead in Zvimba, are reportedly cited regularly coming out of the water attacking and killing every man who lingers around the river.
The incidents widely speculated in the Chinhoyi area, have seen at least three men being taken into the waters shortly before each person returns as a dead corpse, reports which the Department of National Parks however rule out declaring instead that the attacking animals are crocodiles. But traditional community leaders have maintained the creatures are actually mermaids and this is further evidenced in that they are “only attacking men” and no woman has ever been taken into the murky waters to date. A classical case cited is that of Mavambo leader Liberty Mukwakwami whose body returned after four whole days and without a single mark of a crocodile bite[READ MORE-Click Here ].
The Hunyani river said to be home to numerous so called ‘mermaids’, stretches into Zimbabwe from Mozambique then rising northwest of Marondera and flowing westward past Harare to Robert Mugabe’s homestead in Kutama, Zvimba. From Kutama, it then turns north past Chinhoyi and cuts through the Rukowakuona Mountains to the Lowveld later crossing the Mozambique border at Hunyani.
 
“Seyiko vari varume vega varikungotorwa pese pese vachitsakatika, pindurayika nhayi?,” a highly spirited woman who lives in the nearby block of houses around the Biri dam told ZimEye. 

She said there is “a female mermaid in the Biri dam”, and another one which lives in the main Hunyani river.
“She (the said mermaid) is angry for some reason and is taking revenge on men,” she said.
She added, “many women roam around the river and I myself pass through it every day and yet none of all attacks ever get women. Look at how Liberty Mukwakwami came back a dead man last week with no crocodile bite on his body [READ MORE–Bloody Crocodile which killed MKD Leader Was Actually a Human Being – Evidence],” she said.
“Many women here have their fields stretching to the river bank and so why have these crocodiles not attacked a single woman to date,” she said.
A study of the area by ZimEye has revealed however that the rising number of attacks on men can only be of crocodiles. This was found to be a reliable conclusion to the crisis as two white farmers previously involved in crocodile farming were chased away during ZANU PF’s chaotic land reform program, and the new owners who were ignorant, recklessly caused the animals previously domiciled within the confines of the farm, to escape into the Hunyani river, creating the present crisis.
ZimEye also found out that many are engaged in fishing activities with full body up the waist in the water, becoming easy prey for the crocodiles.
