About 2,000 people gathered outside an apartment block earlier this week after word got out that a pair of lovers were stuck in post-coital distress.

According to the Daily Sun, the couple ended up being stuck together and subsequently screamed for help, begging to be separated.

This was after the male victim ignored a warning from the woman’s husband who reportedly told the man “Leave my wife alone! I have put special muthi (medicine) in her punani!”

One of the residents of the apartment block, Priscilla Ndlovu, told the Daily Sun that she had heard screams from the woman’s apartment on Thursday night.

“At first we thought it was just the screams of sexual pleasure, but it turned to be screams for help,” said Priscilla.

She then called the security guard who forced the door open and saw the man lying on top of the woman, unable to detach himself. Priscilla said that they were also unable to free the couple.

“We always hear of such things happening but we have never seen it,” she said.

According to a family member, the husband to the adulterous woman had frequently voiced his suspicion of his wife’s infidelity.

“I think he locked his wife to catch the man she’s cheating with.”

An unnamed commentator told the Daily Sun that “locking” a woman with muthi is a common way of catching and humiliating cheating lovers.

The couple was eventually whisked away in an ambulance last week Friday.
