Last month, a young Zimbabwean man died after starving for 33 consecutive days, but the reason for his starvation stunned the world.
Last month, an unemployed but highly religious young man in the Zimbabwean town of Bandura decided to go on a 40-day hunger strike to please God and receive an "unseen reward" of 200,000 (Rs 30 million), according to details. Give the expensive car "Lamborghini".
The media has identified the 27-year-old as Mark Muradzera, a youth leader of the Raisin Saints Church in Bandura.
Despite being unemployed, Mark wanted to give his girlfriend a new and expensive Lamborghini car worth at least لاکھ 200,000 (about 30 million Pakistani rupees).
To make this impossible possible, Mark relied on his own faith to decide for himself that if he went on a hunger strike for 40 days, God would be pleased with him and reward him with a new Lamborghini "from the unseen".
To escape hunger and the desire for food, he went to a hill near Bandura and started drinking only water.
Due to constant hunger, he became weak. On the other hand, the people of Bandura town also started looking for him because he was seen in the church almost every day, but for four weeks no one visited the church, not even in the whole town.
After a few days of searching, he was finally found in a makeshift shelter on the mound, but by then Mark had been starving for 33 days and was half-dead.
He was rushed to a hospital where he was pronounced dead at the scene. When he regained consciousness, he told the whole story.
After hearing Mark's painful story, the poor people of Bandura raised money for him, but when they found out he wanted to buy an expensive car like the Lamborghini, the locals collected all the money, which was less than $40. Mark's medical expenses were paid to the hospital.
Mark is facing severe criticism for his actions. Bishop Mauro of Zimbabwe sharply criticized Mark, saying it would have been better if he had gone hungry to get a job.
