A 71-year-old man has surprised many after admitting in his story that he has never seen face-to-face with anyone of the female sex.
Callixte Mzamwita from Rwanda said that he started locking himself in the house at the age of 16 and since then until now at the age of 77, he has never met any woman.
According to the story as told by Afrimax English, Mzamwita has locked himself in the house for 55 years now.
He locked himself in the house all that time because he did not want to meet or talk to any woman.
Even today, the reason why he allowed me to enter his house is because you are here. But if it wasn’t for You, he wouldn’t have let me in,” one woman told Afrimax.
“The reason why I lock myself in and put a fence around my house is because I want to make sure that no women can approach me. I don’t want women around me because they make me feel very scared,” the old man said.
Neighbors said that since childhood they have lived to see him inside his compound and when he sees a woman trying to enter his compound, he runs inside the house and locks himself.
Scientifically, such a situation according to the Cleveland Clinic is caused by a condition known as Gynophobia.
Such a situation can be caused by various events, including previous events in childhood, or cultural influence.
The female neighbors said that many of them have been helping him even though he does not like a woman to approach him.
They said that they often throw packages of food at his compound because every time they try to approach him, he escapes and goes inside.
“We always throw food over the fence of his compound, he doesn’t want us to approach him but he always takes what we throw to him from a distance,” said one.
The strange thing is that the man does everything a normal person can do in his house, including the bathroom, toilet, kitchen and even accommodation.
