Ministry warns against consuming meat from Rio Cobre crash site
Don’t eat it!

THE Ministry of Health is warning against the consumption of meat from a truck that plunged over Flat Bridge into the murky Rio Cobre Wednesday night, killing three persons.
The warning came yesterday, more than 24 hours after dozens of persons were witnessed removing cow’s feet and other parts of the animal as well as packs of jumbo sausages, whole chickens and chicken parts from the river — well over 12 hours after the accident.

The food grab occurred as the bodies of the three men who died in the accident were being recovered from the river. They have been identified as 42-year-old Michael Nicholas, his son 18-year-old Travis, and 25-year-old Kemar Watt.
A rear wheel of the truck reportedly clipped the embankment as it turned onto Flat Bridge, which caused the accident. A fourth man who was in the vehicle survived.
Last night, the ministry said there was a possibility that the quality of the meat could be compromised.
“This is based on the possibility of contamination from the river and the inevitable multiplication of Salmonella species, as well as other types of bacteria, in these products,” the South East Regional Health Authority (SERHA) stated in a release after a Jamaica Observer query.
This, therefore, means that if consumed, individuals put themselves at great risk of food borne illness,” the release added.
SERHA said that frozen meats are safe for human consumption only when they are thawed under cool safe running water or in the refrigerator, prepared in a sanitary manner; cooked thoroughly; and stored safely and at the correct temperature.
“[Frozen food should] not be allowed to stay at room temperature for more than two hours,” SERHA warned.
Meanwhile, the St Catherine Health Department said it had started dialogue with Jamaica Broilers, to whom the meats belonged, to ensure that the appropriate actions are taken to limit the health risks the incident may cause.
WTF AFRICA- THE PANTY COLLECTOR
A Zaka man has been found with 58 panties belonging to married women in Chidzamura Village in Zaka.
Acting Chief Ndanga Reuben Chimedza said the suspect, Aaron Mubvumo-Musuka, fled last week on Wednesday after he was summoned to appear before his court.
A police report has also been made.
Panties belonging to headman Joseph Chidzamura’s wife were also found among the 58.
“That is the headman’s wife’s pant over there, that big one belongs to Mai Anna, that is my daughter-in-law’s and the other one here is mine,” said Jestina Magadzire, pointing to the assortment of panties in the presence of the chief and local villagers.
Villagers were seething with anger as they believe Musuka was using mubobo to sexually violate married women. Some young men in the village were vying for Musuka’s blood after their wives and mothers identified their panties among the 58 undergarments.
Police at Ndanga said they had launched a manhunt for Musuka.
One woman said: “I saw my pant among those at the cave. Mamwe mazuva waimuka wakaneta musana uchipisa woshaiwa kuti chii, izvi ndiye zvake. (Sometimes you would wake up feeling exhausted and wonder what’s wrong with you, and yet it’s him).”
The village, which is about 80km from Masvingo, has been gobsmacked by the scandal which came to light after Musuka’s 15-year-old son was caught near a cave in the Ndaumbwe Mountains wiping his private parts with the panties one after the other.
After he was confronted, the teenager said he had been instructed by his dad to wipe his genitals with the panties.
A large group of women took journalists to the cave.
Musuka, who is said to be a prophet with the Zion Christian Church (ZCC), vanished together with his son and four head of cattle after he was summoned to appear before the chief’s court.
Villagers said they were flabbergasted with the revelations since Musuka was a well-respected prophet in the area.
One woman said: “Handina kutaura kuti handisi kuona bhurugwa rangu nekuti ndaitya kuzobvunzwa nemurume. (I had kept quiet about my missing pant because I was afraid my husband would confront me.) We want action to be taken and justice delivered.”
Acting Chief Ndanga said Musuka would not continue to stay in the area even if he pleads guilty and pays damages to the affected men.
He said husbands of the affected women were so angry with him that they wanted to kill him.
