The man, Mr Brighton Dama Zanthe (34) is said to have risen from the dead while his relatives and workmates were inspecting his body which had already been placed in a coffin at Gweru community last week at Mr Zanthe's house in Mkoba Village 14.
The shocking news was all over the community. An eye said I was completely shocked when I first noticed Mr Zanthe's moving legs as I was in the queue to view his body in order to pay my last respect. At first I could not believe my eyes but later realised that there was indeed some movements on the body as other mourners retreated in disbelief," Read more...
Mr Gaka who operates a bus company said they had processed burial papers and had booked to leave the body with a city funeral parlour when Mr Zanthe "resurrected".
"Mr Zanthe had been on sick leave for sometimes and everyone at work was aware that he was critical. We would visit him at his home in Mkoba 14.
"I was not surprised when I received a call from Mr Zanthe's wife on Monday night last week saying that her husband had died," said Mr Gaka.
He said the company (Gettingson Bus Company) later went on to get quotations from local funeral parlours.
"I visited two local funeral parlours for quotations before I drove to Mr Zanthe's house in Mkoba Village 14 so that we could take the body to the mortuary," said Mr Gaka.
He said when he arrived at Mr Zanthe's home on Tuesday morning, he found a huge crowd of mourners gathered at the house.
"Mr Zanthe's body had already been put in a coffin and people were preparing to conduct a body viewing procession so that his body could be taken to a mortuary. It was during the body viewing procession that Mr Zanthe 'resurrected'," said Mr Gaka.
