In a shocking turn of events, a Harare woman, Ms. Sekai Makanya, has taken one of her three husbands, Mr. Tapera Mapfumo, to court for being a bit of a slacker. Apparently, he’s not pulling his weight in the relationship, financially or otherwise. The drama unfolds in a polyandrous marriage, where Ms. Makanya claims Mr. Mapfumo isn’t contributing to household responsibilities or supporting their child.
Ms. Makanya alleges that Mr. Mapfumo becomes violent when asked to contribute, and even goes as far as verbally abusing her at her workplace. Mr. Mapfumo, on the other hand, disputes the allegations, claiming he’s a victim of the conflict and that Ms. Makanya is asking him to do too much. He even had the audacity to say she’s “too fond of men.”
In a bizarre twist, Ms. Makanya argues that Mr. Mapfumo accepted the polyandrous arrangement and should therefore take responsibility for their child. Mr. Mapfumo, however, seems to be feeling a bit overwhelmed, claiming he’s living like a servant in the house.
The court will have to navigate the complexities of this polyandrous relationship and determine whether Mr. Mapfumo is indeed shirking his responsibilities. One thing’s for sure – this case is about to get a whole lot more interesting.
What do you think about the court’s chances of resolving this polyandrous puzzle?
