Zimbabwean blogger is currently facing criminal charges for posting cutting of human toes video online.
Zimbabwean blogger David Kaseke pulled a prank by telling a tabloid journalist that he was an agent for buyers of human toes.
His ‘fake video” of people cutting their toes went viral minutes after his first post on social media, and on his blog.
His post made the headlines of Zimbabweans cutting their toes for cars and huge sums of cash. But it all turned out to be false news. He was heard in the video saying joining “cutting of human toes” trade cost $200 while the toes costs between $25,000 to $75,000.
When questioned by Zimbabwean officials, David Kaseke told the court it was a harmless joke revealing he was drunk when the video was recorded.
