Manyuka was known by his family and community at large as a very spiritual person whose faith could move mountains. His death puzzled those dearest to him. A close relative who chose to speak on condition of anonymity broke the news.“He was a very spiritual man. It’s unfortunate he had to die this way,” said a close relative.Manyuka was driven to the wilderness by the urge to emulate Christ but sadly he did not equal or break Christ’s record.“After a month we got the sad news of his death,” added the relative.Family members said Manyuka had no history of illness.“He was a healthy and religious old man who did not even look his age,” revealed one family member.The exact day of his death remains a mystery to both his family and friends as he was alone in the wilderness. His body was found by a stranger who then alerted the police.The police said Manyuka is not the first to die from fasting — numerous other cases have been reported.“We have received such reports before, but we cannot stop the public from fasting,” police spokesperson said.
