ZIMBABWE – A 20-year-old woman and her 30-year-old uncle, both from Chibuwe Village under Chief Mutambara, have confessed to having an incestuous relationship that resulted in the birth of a child.
The duo risks being banished from Mutambara as the offence is regarded as taboo according to the areaâs traditions.
The man, Belt Chibuwe has since paid
mombe ye cheka ukama (beast meant to sever ties between the two relatives) to his brotherâs family as an acknowledgement of his incestuous relationship with Mollen Chibuwe (20).
Besides the
cheka ukama beast, Belt also paid two beasts to Mollenâs father.
The matter came to light after an unidentified family friend-cum-prophet exposed the two love birds in one of his prophecies.
