His friend Jasper Munsinwa noticed Mutsa, originally from Zimbabwe, had gone missing and went looking for him, only to find his friend unconscious...and bald.
Mutsa had previously adorned a head of dreadlocks which had taken him 10 years to grow.
Jasper said: "When we found him he still had his cellphone and wallet with all his money inside."
In South Africa, there is a high demand for dreadlocks as hair extensions and long ones can fetch as much as £175.
