A Cape Town resident claimed to have spotted a naked man jogging along De Waal Drive in heavy rain, reigniting a decades-long urban legend.
The sighting, which occurred just this week, is the latest in a series of reports of a naked jogger spotted in Cape Town. According to the source, the man was seen running along the road's edge in heavy rain, similar to previous sightings.
The legend dates back to 2013, when commuters reported a naked man walking along the M5 highway near Ottery during a heavy downpour. Social media swung into action with genuine concern for the man, speculating that he may have been robbed or suffering from a mental crisis.
But the Cape Town resident who claimed to have spotted the jogger this week is skeptical of the urban legend. 'I'm not sure what's going on,' she said. 'I've surfed in terrible weather, but jogging naked in the rain? That's just crazy.'
Despite the mystery surrounding the naked jogger, residents are advised to exercise caution when encountering anyone in a state of undress.
