A man claiming to be resurrected multi-award winning maskandi (traditional Zulu folk music) artist Khulekani Kwakhe “Mgqumeni” Mseleku, has been taken in for questioning, KwaZulu-Natal police said on Monday.
“Police opened an inquest docket and we took the man in for questioning yesterday (on Sunday),” police spokesman Colonel Jay Naicker said.
“We have not done DNA tests or taken his fingerprints, but will be taking some samples to verify whether it is him or not. Detectives from the province will head the investigation.”
Khumalo apparently died in December 2009, after drinking something he got from a traditional healer. He was buried by his family in the KwaGxobanyawo cemetery in early 2010.
“I have been suffering a lot at the place where I was kept with zombies. It was hell there and I am so grateful that I was able to free myself and return to my family and you, my supporters,” The Times quoted him as saying.
Investigations would determine whether the police needed to file a High Court application to exhume the body thought to be Mseleku's.
After the news broke on Thursday of Khumalo's arrival at his family's homestead in Nquthu near Dundee, hysterical fans went to the village, according to weekend reports.
Naicker said investigations would continue on Monday. - Sapa

The really sad part of this is that so many people will believe that he really was with zombies all this time. *sigh*

I could see that the guy was a fake coin. If you look at his ears, cheekbones and nose, they are not like Mgqumeni's. How could his relatives, including the wifes not recognise this scummer? Has this superstition ever been proven noma inganekwane nje? Someone must have told him he looks like Mgqumeni and then he internalised that and decided to fool the world.

his DNA and fingerprints won't match. Kwakhe's soul was taken and put in another body. THis guys should be treated with respect and honour and given some land and cattle. Otherwise the evil spirits will bring lots of trouble for KZN.

Police should better check whether this man is one of the Zombies. This is a shocking story!

This is utter non-sense, but I am not suprised because the human race has been fooled before by the Jesus rising from the dead story

its so embarrasing and hard to believe that really most people believed this nonsense in the first place,evn some members of the family it means they didnt know the guy from start,its surprising really.I ddnt believe evn some of " ABASAKAZI " at radio Ukhozi fm believed this,evn those who knew the guy v well.People were calling non-stop saying congrats for the risen of the man,what the HELL was that for people shld have waited n see the guy themselves before TJATJARAGGING n preaching all the street corners about Mgqumeni being woken,like who. " THERE'S ONLY ONE JESUS CHRIST "...

sifiso nkwali, wrote
if this is Mgqumeni let his family take him straight to the Nyanga for a long time so that he can gain his colour again and make his dreadlocks again maybe we can believe
