A SECURITY guard employed by Tanganda Tea's New Year Gift's Estate in Chipinge is alleged to have recently turned into a baboon.

The guard (name supplied), was reported to have been on night duty with a colleague when he allegedly turned into a baboon and assaulted him.
A villager at the estate, Austin Sithole, confirmed the incident and said: "I also heard of the news, but unfortunately, the guard in question is my son-in-law. He is now a human being again and when we asked him what transpired on the night in question, he is professing ignorance," said Sithole.
Another villager, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the guard was now an outcast at the estate, as people no longer want to be associated with him.
Some employees at the estate said the guard had since been suspended from work as no-one was willing to work with him, since they guard in pairs.
In a telephone interview, officials at the estate confirmed the incident.
"Yes, this incident happened here and the guard in question has since been suspended. He was asked to go home and appease the spirit in him. If he is well, we might engage him," said an official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Chipinge is well-known for juju and many people in and outside the counry travel to the district in search of charms for various reasons.
