Loser In Love
‘KENYAN Alfonse Mumbo, a 38-year-old former barber from Kajulu Wath Orego, near Kisumu, wanted to give his wife ‘a free hand to go after other men so he took up a blade and severed his own testicles and penis.
‘It was around 8 o’clock in the morning when I started feeling dizzy. My wife had left for the farm. I don’t know what came over me, says Mumbo.
‘All I remember is walking around the compound anxiously and answering many calls of nature. I found myself disgusted with the penis and decided to cut it off.
‘I went into the kitchen, took a knife, undressed and just chopped it off. The knife was too sharp and before I realised what I had done, it was too late.’
Mumbos wife Penina returned home to find her husband in a pool of blood.
‘When I am walking around the village or going on safari, those who recognise me talk about me in low tones,’ says Mr Mumbo.’
