WATCH: Zaka Boy Whose Face Was Mauled By Hyenas Airlifted To South Africa

The 9-year-old boy from Zaka who was dragged by hyenas from a place where he was attending an all-night church on 7 May this year has been airlifted to South Africa for surgery.

According to respected SABC journalist Sophie Mokoena, Roswell Ngomazana arrived at Mediclinic in Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa for reconstructive surgery this Saturday.

In a statement on 9 June, Parirenyatwa Group of Hospital, where the boy had been undergoing treatment, said some well-wishers have now offered to airlift the Child to South Africa for the required facial reconstruction and rehabilitation.

Below is a video shared on Twitter by Mokoena captioned with the words:

Ngomazana of Benzi Village under Chief Nhema in Zaka was severely mauled in the face after he was dragged for 300 metres at Zviratidzo Zvevapositori Church prayers.

He was rescued by members of the congregation who ran after the hyenas forcing them to drop him.

Ngomazana had gone to the all-night vigil with her 62-year-old grandmother Martha Martha Sasikai on the fateful day.

Sasikai said the boy was attacked soon after he asked for some sheets because he wanted to sleep. She said:

We were at a church service when Roswell asked for some sheets to cover himself since he wanted to sleep.

I gave him and it was only a few minutes later when he was attacked by the hyenas.

He was mauled on his face and we thank God that he is alive. As a family, we are appealing for well-wishers to help us meet medical bills

Zimbabwe National Parks (Zimparks) spokesperson Tinashe Farawo confirmed the incident.
