Grant is now healthy, shares his ceiling experience

GRANT Mashasha is emerging from his nightmare after spending more than a decade indoors, including time in the ceiling of the family home in Zengeza 3.

According to a family spokesperson, Grant spent four days hiding in the ceiling, not the ten years that has been widely reported.

Grant was afraid that someone was after his life, she revealed.

According to Nobuhle Mashasha, Grant, 39, is under the care of medical professionals and is gradually opening up about his ordeal, H Metro reports.

He was imprisoned at home and spent some time in the ceiling.

His mother, Gogo Plaxedes Mashasha, is being held in custody for failing to report her husband’s death.

“We managed to meet and talk to Grant upon our arrival from Gwanda,” said Nobuhle, his niece.

“From how he looked on the day he was retrieved from the ceiling, Grant has changed completely, showing a healthy, handsome face.

“He feels stressed to quickly open up about how he came to be kept indoors for 10 years.

“He told us that he had been living in a room and slept 0n a sofa for 10 years, not 14, as reported.

“He spent four days in the ceiling, frightened by his mother’s threats that there were people after his life.

“He is beginning to understand that there is no one after his life and is now interacting with others.

“He is still scared of answering some questions thinking that someone might still be targeting his life,” said Nobuhle.

She claimed that they learned about her grandfather’s death from the press because her grandmother never informed anyone.

She also thanked the Zengeza residents for their help and invited those who could to join them at their rural home in Gwanda for her grandfather’s burial.
