Mourners Stunned As Zimbabwe Man Wakes Up At His Own Funeral

MOURNERS attending the funeral, last week, of a Gweru man were left stunned after he apparently “returned from the dead” as relatives and friends filed past his coffin, viewing his remains before he was taken to a local mortuary.

Brighton Dama Zanthe, 34, said he had no recollection of what transpired at his Mkoba14 home in the Midlands city and only remembered waking up and finding himself on life support at Gweru Provincial Hospital.

"This issue can be best told by people who came to my house to attend my funeral. I don’t know what happened and I only remember being on a life support system in hospital,” he told the Chronicle newspaper.

“Everything is history to me. What I can only confirm is that people gathered at my house to mourn but I was given another chance and I am alive. I feel okay now.”

Witnesses however said mourners scattered in shock after Zanthe who is said to have “died” last Monday after being unwell for some time started moving his legs as relatives and friends filed past his coffin just before it was taken to a local funeral parlour ahead of burial.
