Three men have been mistakenly admitted to a cholera centre in Zambia after eating herbs (gondolosi) with “sex enhancing” qualities, an official has said.

The men were vomiting, a symptom of cholera, so worried well-wishers rushed them to the centre, Chanda Kasolo said.

It turned out that the vomiting was caused by food, beer and the herbal concoction, he added.

A cholera epidemic which broke out last year has so far claimed 70 lives in the southern African state.

More than 3,000 cases have been reported.
