A 34-year-old man from Mambo died during treatment from a traditional healer after suffering from an hours long erection. The man, identified as Shelton Dinganga of Zaranyika Road, Mambo, Zimbabwe, landed in his dubious dilemma after sleeping with a married woman.

Dinganga's relatives said he had sex with a relative's wife and his penis remained erect while his other parts became swollen.

"Dinganga had suddenly disappeared from public life after coming back from Kwekwe where he had visited a family relative whom he was said to be flirting with. We were shocked when his family members later informed us of his death on Tuesday morning," a neighbour said.



The neighbour further said that it was during Dinganga's burial that they got to know that he had died when his penis remained erect after he had sex with the female relative in Kwekwe.



"This was partly revealed by a relative who thanked the inyanga for doing his best to try and save Dinganga. He also reportedly turned down his family members' attempts to take him to the hospital," he said.

Dinganga's family refused to comment on either his death or his alleged affair with the female relative.
