A Zimbabwean woman and her son have done the unthinkable – they havefallen in love with oneanother. And now theywant to marry since the mom, Betty Mberekofrom Mwenezi in Masvingo, is six months pregnant and expectingher son ’s child. Mbereko (40), who waswidowed 12 years ago,has been cohabiting with her first child, Farai Mbereko (23). She confirms that she is six months pregnant and that she has decided it is better to “marry” her son because she does not want to marry her late husband ’s young brothers, whom she says are coveting her. Betty stunned a village court last week when she said the affair with her son had begun three years earlier. She said after spending a lot of money sending Farai to school following the death of her husband, she felt she had a right to his money and no other woman was entitled to it. “Look, I strove alone to send my son to school and no one helped me. Now you see that my son is working and you accuse me of doing something wrong. “Let me enjoy the products of my sweat, ” she told the village court. Farai said he was more than prepared to marry his mother and would pay off the ilobola balance his father had left unpaid to his grandparents. “I know my father died before he finished paying the bride price and I am prepared to pay it off, ” he said. “It is better to publicise what is happening because people should know that I am the one who made my mother pregnant. Otherwise they will accuse her of promiscuity.” But local headman Nathan Muputirwa says: “ We cannot allow this to happen in our village, mashura chaiwo aya, (This is a bad omen indeed). In the past they would have to be killed but today we cannot doit because we are afraid of the police. ” He warned them to break off their marriage or leave his village. They chose the latter andhave left the village for an unknown destination.

What a selfish mother, well the fact that you put your son into school and all doesnt mean he has to marry you. you son can be there for you without marrying you and still take care of you. Even the son is stupid. this is called abuse.

Hi, sorry for long absence. Not all a mockery but agreeing with you and at the same time saying if only we could have another word that could better describe such satanic mother/son. Your words are quite OK and my intervention is just to show more emphasis! Thks DP.
