Strange events are busy unfolding in Struisbaai, a picturesque coastal village in the Western Cape’s Overberg region.
Dozens of young women have flocked to the local doctor with mysterious knee problems.
For now, district police have warned young female residents to stay indoors and keep well away from their windows.
It appears that the condition, which the World Health Organisation has labelled “Weak Knee Syndrome”, has been triggered by the arrival of a young, clean cut Irish man. Even just a momentary glimpse of the man is said to trigger Weak Knee Syndrome.
The man, whose real name is Clayton Flannery, is affectionately referred to as “Aengus Og” by the ladies of Struisbaai. Aengus Og was the Irish Celtic god of love and beauty. The whole of Struisbaai appears to be mesmerized. At night, when the village goes to sleep, one can hear countless female voices whispering, “Aengus …. Aengus ….”. It is said that even the waves call out his name throughout the night.
Attempts to interview his ravishing girlfriend, Ariza, failed. Our questions to her were met with mute smiles and dreamy stares, which reminded us of a most beautiful little calf we once saw when travelling through the Irish countryside.
We tried contacting Ariza’s mother for comment but she was too busy drinking wine.
