Pirate1974 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Sports authorities in Zimbabwe were shocked recently to find out that one of their top female athletes is actually a man. Samukeliso Sithole (his real name, apparently), had won several events for women in the triple jump, javelin and shot put. When he was found out, a fellow female competitor filed criminal charges against Sithole because she had undressed in front of "him" frequently in locker rooms, believing that he was a woman. No report on how he was able to pull this off, or that off, without the other women noticing that everything was not quite as it seemed. Sithole was arrested by the police and put in jail, where a government doctor confirmed that he was indeed a male. Why they needed a doctor to confirm this, I'm not sure. In any case, Samukeliso Sithole appeared in court in Kwekwe, Zimbabwe where he offered a most unique explanation for his behavior. You have to give this guy/gal points for originality. It seems that Sithole was born with both male and female genitalia, what the medical profession and carnival sideshow advertisements call a "hermaphrodite." He told the court that his parents had consulted a traditional healer who had given him traditional herbs that would make certain things disappear so that he would be a technical female. So far so good. The problem arose when mom and dad stiffed the healer, only paying him half of the agreed price. The result was that his package was redelivered, just popped back up, as it were. On the day that he appeared in court, he said that he was scheduled to make the final payment to the healer that very day (what a coincidence!) so that the goods would vanish again. His trial is scheduled for March 3rd. There's a lesson here for all of us, I think. If you make a deal with the local witch doctor to make your genitalia disappear, make sure you pay him in full.
